Hard research only, with little speculation.

Any additional comments?

The Ramseys and Dr. Thayer did impressive research for their book. Their work is completely hard data from mostly first person sources and various records with very little speculation (which sometimes hurts work in this category). Some areas where they openly disagree with "debunkers" can be a little judgemental. Most of the information is correct but one area where they refer to the Army's CID as "Counter Intelligence Division" is incorrect. The Army's CID is Criminal Investigation Division, which is like the Army's internal FBI. Although given the context the CID would still be the investigating group. That one mistake I believe to be the only one in the book and it doesn't hurt the credibility very much. Despite this, I still think this is a worthy read for any serious UFO or anonymous phenomenon reader or researcher.

too much fluff

It is important to understand some of the background information on the people involved, but some of it drug on and on.

Much appreciated work hard to get in print

The book itself offers much information about UFO history in general, about the Aztec landing, and about UFI investigators, particularly Frank Scully. The narrator's reading of the tapes is worth the whole shebang. Excellent.

Most compelling ufo book on the market!

This book was very enjoyable to listen to! I was very surprised about how thorough thorough research was and how well they listed all of their sources! This is by far my favorite book in the field of ufology. I personally think they have shown without a doubt there was a UFO crash in Aztec. I look forward to reading more of their work. I must also mention that they were great at keeping this audience entertained while explaining all the documentation and research that took place.

outstanding balance of research and development

Now this is what a research project is supposed to be in form and function. the writers did an excellent job of chasing down leads to the very end. They also did something no one else has dared do until recently - question media motivation. As a former journalist I am always amazed by how people will accept whatever a reporter writers just because they put it in print. Bravo for digging into the yellow journalism that the government used to control the people and the masses. Something happened; what, is a question that we want to see the answers.

Great story. Terrible writing style.

This story is really great. Unfortunately the author apparently likes having his own first name appear in his book several hundred times. It truly became repulsive, hearing “(Scott)” after every “I” or “me”, throughout the entire book. In the end, I still believe the story (and the authors’ research) are worthwhile, however, I would never consider reading nor listening to another book by this author / these authors.

Primarily trying to discredit skeptic

The vast majority of the book focuses on the history and background of the skeptic of the first story regarding Aztec. Discrediting the skeptic isn't proof and really drags down the narrative.

Very thorough research

Top notch research about a ufo crash recovered by US military. The depth of detail and witness corroboration is stunning. The amount of time, money and travel required for this book is staggering. All I can say is Wow! The original book by author Frank Skully (Behind the Flying Saucers) is still available.

Where is the Aztec Crash Details????

Do not recommend this. I was looking into Details and documented stories on the Aztec crash and what technology, propulsion, alien bodies that survived or not instead got a lot of canyon history and tons of non relevant data and dates peoples names and assumptions. No beefy interviews that I was looking for. I wasted 12 hours of listening to non value added data.
