[Daniel Lawson · Rating 3 out of 5]

First of all, this is not a book for someone who doesn’t already believe that the UFO/UAP phenomenon is real. Second, this is not a book for people with a short attention span. Despite a wealth of detail, much of it is repetitive which may cause some to skim over it and not allow the full impact to hit them. There are many stories from eyewitnesses, many of whom are credible men of science or trained military. The skeptic will dismiss the stories as paranoid delusions or hyperactive imaginations or drug induced visions. The unquestioning believer will accept every eyewitness account as the proof of extraterrestrial and/or paranormal activity. The truth is that many of these things can most likely be explained by something ordinary, but not all of them. The most incredible stories, the ones where craft landed and beings came out, cannot be explained by swamp gas and misidentification of Venus.
The book is focused on the (then) secret AAWSAP government program that studied the UAP topic. Much of the book is focused on the time at Skinwalker Ranch around the 2009/10 time frame. It is known now that the government secretly studied the phenomenon at the ranch and the outlying area and most of that research is still top secret. AAWSAP focused on a lot of other locations as well, many of which are discussed in the book, including the Colares, Brazil encounters in the ‘70’s.
Overall it’s an interesting read but in the end it doesn’t really add a whole lot to the massive amount of information already out there. The most important aspect of the book is actually the author, Dr Lacatski, who has admitted in recent interviews that the government program he worked in had possession of a craft and they had gained entrance. He won’t say anything beyond that, but the author is someone who has a mountain of knowledge on the UAP topic but is unfortunately bound by vows of secrecy on most of it. His books are a way to disclose a little of what the government knows without violating those agreements.

some really detailed stories of UFO encounters

This book does a great job of making the viewer read these incidents like the government is viewing them. Love that it has a few Incident reports that they tested and debunked to show they did their due diligence. The case studies at skinwalker ranch all feel like they are the same entity trying and that the entity at skinwalker is somehow failing? To communicate with humans because it is trying to be its interpretation of human which our brain interprets as demons and angels at times. Great read

I was horribly disappointed in this book.
The first quarter of it, was so very technical, that even a scientist would find it hard to read.
The second quarter, was copied information from the MUFON CMS Database, surprisingly with real people's names which is against MUFON policy! No real words from the author.
The third quarter, is again, copied information from NIDS and BAAS, again with no real words from the author.
The rest of the book (at 77%), is addendums

Essential reading on AAWSAP

Everyone says nothing has been released by the governent on UFOS. Mr. Lacatski is doing just that.

All these volumes should be considered essential reading for anyone seriously following the UFO field.
