About this listen
Bob Lazar was a brilliant young physicist that found himself employed at a top-secret facility in the middle of the desert outside Las Vegas. Under the watchful eye of the government elite, he is tasked with understanding an exotic propulsion system being used by an advanced aerospace vehicle he is told came from outer space.
The stressful work and long, odd hours start to wear on Bob and he becomes concerned for his safety. He tells his wife and a couple close friends about what he's doing in the desert, and his employers find out and are furious. When they station goons outside his house, Bob seeks help from wealthy UFOlogist, John Lear, who encourages Bob to take his story to award-winning investigative journalist George Knapp at KLAS-TV, a CBS affiliate.
To prove he's telling the truth, Bob takes a group of people out into the desert to watch a test flight of the "flying saucer." On the way home, they are stopped by the police, who notify the base, and Bob loses his job. In a series of interviews with CBS TV, Bob Lazar then blows the lid off "Area 51", blows the whistle on the effort to conceal this craft from the American people, and blows up his career as a top physicist.

In Dimensions, Dr. Jacques Vallee reexamines the historical record that led to the modern UFO phenomenon and to the belief in alien contact. He then tackles the enigma of abduction reports, which come from various times and various countries, as well as the psychic and spiritual components of the contact experience. In the last portion of the book, he notes the factors that inhibit research into the phenomenon - the triple coverup and political motivations - and concludes that the extraterrestrial theory is simply not strange enough to explain the facts.

Communion is the iconic classic in which Whitley Strieber describes his 1985 close encounter experiences. This book, which fundamentally changed the way we understand close encounters and alien abductions, is presented here with a new introduction by the author. Do not miss this great classic and the powerful introduction that explores the situation as it stands today—even more provocative and important now, as official sources are admitting that UFOs are real unknowns and that they seem to have something to do with close encounters.

Award-winning investigative journalist Ross Coulthart has been intrigued by UFOs since mysterious glowing lights were reported near New Zealand's Kaikoura mountains when he was a teenager.

For more than 40 years, the US government has researched extrasensory perception, using it in attempts to locate hostages, fugitives, secret bases, and downed fighter jets, to divine other nations' secrets, and even to predict future threats to national security. The intelligence agencies and military services involved include CIA, DIA, NSA, DEA, the navy, air force, and army - and even the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Now, for the first time, New York Times best-selling author Annie Jacobsen tells the story of these radical, controversial programs.

Great book!
Was a very good book and worth the read! If you are interested in the whole Bob lazar story and have any sort of fascination with UFOs it’ll be right up your alley. He gets pretty in depth about his experiences and the time spent in S4 where he worked on the UFO, and he gives good detail on how everything happened. If you have listened to the Joe Rogan Interview , or any other interviews those were basically the shortened versions of this story. In the book it is basically everything that happened and all detailed. Definitely a great read, and if you are a believer in his story then you will like it even more!

Eye opening
While I’ve heard of Area 51 and the range of UFO and conspiracy theories, I really wasn’t tuned in at the time Bob Lazar’s story was unfolding… so this was an eye opener for me. Worth a listen!

This a larger than life story that forces us to take it more seriously with each decade that passes
I still remember when this story first broke out. It is rare to see such a story actually become more plausible as time passes. The science behind the engineering, element 115, and even the government’s involvement have all grown to support Bob Lazar’s story as time continues to add more validity to the events described in Dreamland.
Even those well versed in the story of Bob’s reverse engineering stint at ”S4” will find new snippets and interesting personal touches to the story. This is the first time I personally feel I understand Bob as a person a little bit more and why he made some of those fateful decisions. It really is a story about what could have been and truly feels like there is perhaps much more to be come.

Excellent story on the key figure of Area 51 lore
Excellent book on the Bob Lazar story. Consistent with other stories and documentaries about him, but with specific information I hadn't heard before. It talks about the secret craft he was tasked with reverse engineering, and about a colleague he worked with at S4, but it's really a book that explains Bob Lazar's life and how he ended up doing the work that made him famous.
Basically, as part of the background check to give him more clearance his employer discovered marital problems that Bob didn't even know about yet. That kind of problem is a deal breaker for granting top secret clearance, because it makes people emotionally unpredictable and it wasn't safe enough to keep him in the loop.
Lazar's story has always been consistent, and this book is well written.

Very interesting
If you have heard of the Bob Lazar story, watched a documentary or two on Bob, then this book is basically the same story with a slight bit more detail about the people involved. The book itself is a bit dry, and can meander at times, but overall still very interesting.

A Fascinating (if Amateurish) Book
Having seen & heard Bob Lazar in interview [notably with Joe Rogan, Art Bell, and (not least) with Foreward author George Knapp], it's clear that he's a better author than a speaker (N.B. he's a *dreadful* speaker).
This book is written with glaring preoccupation with simile/metaphor/imagery.. as well as inordinate attention paid to foreshadowing, "banter" dialogue, characterization, and pacing. The result is a little amateurish (Lazar writes like a graduate from a Creative Writing night-class), but readable. The real star of the book is the content, anyway.. and the content is provocative.
Tantor Audio did very well to enlist Barry Abrams to read the book. Abrams exhibits spot-on diction, timbre, cadence, and pacing - but a truly exemplary interested tone. This performance elevates the book: given a choice between a text copy and this iteration - choose the audiobook.. hands down.
Mr. Lazar's 1989 revelations essentially spawned the ufologist community preoccupations surrounding Nellis Air Force Base (a USAF facility in the Nevada desert near Groom Lake). If you have heard of "Area 51".. you can largely thank Lazar. His mindblowing assertions claim that the US Government is hiding evidence of extraterrestrial contact and using captured technology to develop aeronautical craft. There are plenty of controversies (Mr Lazar's unsubstantiated background & criminal history, for example), but this fascinating book - published in 2019 - is a capable telling of iconic allegations.
I was thrilled to get the book as a 'Plus' selection from Audible.. because it rates 7 stars out of 10 - it's not great, but would merit a Credit from curious, open-minded reader/listeners willing to set aside reservations with the legitimately sophomoric writing.

Good but not a lot of new information.
If you are familiar with Bob Lazar and have seen his interviews or the documentary about him, there isn’t much new information in the book. It’s still a good recap of Bob’s story.

not great
I really enjoyed the part where he describes the work at S4 and the theories and observations of the materials and equipment that he was researching. The rest of it was pretty poor.

The story hasn't changed.
This story is amazing, and deserves your attention. If you know the story, and are familiar with the protagonist in one of the most difficult to believe stories of the 20th century, if not ever, you will like this book.
The narration becomes very easy to listen to, no moments of inconsistent undercurrent, or those moments when it seems like a narrator is just reading words and not present mentally within the story.
I did give the performance 4/5 stars as sometimes the switching of voice didn't match consistently with the speakers. Also, if I were Italian-American, I might have a little issue with one of the accents in the reading. lol.
Really enjoyable book overall.
