About this listen

The witnesses are legion, scattered across the world and dotted through history, people who looked up and saw something impossible lighting up the night sky. What those objects were, where they came from, and who - or what - might be inside them is the subject of fierce debate and equally fierce mockery, so that most who glimpsed them came to wish they hadn't.

Most, but not everyone.

Among those who know what they've seen and are forever changed by it are a pilot, an heiress, a journalist, and a prisoner of war. From the waning days of the 20th century's final great war to the fraught fields of Afghanistan to the otherworldly secrets hidden amid Nevada's dusty neverlands - the truth that is out there will propel each of them into a labyrinth of otherworldly technology and the competing aims of those who might seek to prevent - or harness - these beings of unfathomable power. Because, as it turns out, we are not the only ones who can invent and build and destroy.

Featuring actual events and other truths drawn from sources within the military and intelligence community, Tom DeLonge and A. J. Hartley offer a tale at once terrifying, fantastical, and perhaps all too real.

Really enjoyed this far more than I thought I would. Really like the way it’s put together…now onto the next book!

Great read!

I've always been a fan of science fiction movies and television programs, but this is the first science fiction book I've listened to... Must say I find it a lot more captivating because I recognised so many parts of the story's references from documentaries, it all starts to make sense!

When you put the pieces together, Roswell, Bob lizar's story, the Nazi experiments, The Russians, the reverse engineering of the sport model to create the TR3-B, the black budget, that strange alien metal that responds to consciousness through touch and why scientist have had to adjust their view of classical physics to quantum theory when discussing the nature of reality and how it might not actually be what I appears to be. thus the secrecy and suppression of new discoveries and technologies.

all in all i found the book's content and the reader very easy to follow and listen to and who highly recommend this book to open-minded, sceptics and scientifically literate people looking to jog their imagination and to ask more questions.

Thought provoking & stimulates the imagination

Having been steeped in UAP information all my life, I found many of the facts woven into this story were done in an interesting and imaginative way. The intrigue and mystery element made it a compelling listen.

Enjoyable Listen

And highly recommended. Fast paced and entertaining with references to ufo lore.
It’s as if Jaques Valle wrote a (I know he has long time ago) science fiction novel

Highly underrated
