In progress, but I thought it would be irresponsible for me to shelve this book (and hence raise its profile) without a few notes as a reminder to key up your skepticism and talk back to texts. I'll update this review (sponsored by my Patreons ) when I finish reading.- The nonfiction premise of this book is intriguing and compelling, and I think a broad spectrum of readers interested in the humanities and/or science fiction will be interested in the research topic.- Around page thirty I began to have a few questions about a couple author inferences which were not in evidence, the use of solely anonymous sources that are the subject of whole chapters, and the masking of key locations. I'm going research ethnography standards and nuances in order to better understand what's typical and expected of this type of scholarship.The more I read this text, the more questions I have about the approach, format and ethics involved, particularly in the area of media studies and expertise. I suggest not accepting upfront, without evidence, that this text has any kind of authority.It's also fair and necessary to consider:The author's promotional interviews should also be taken into account, especially as this is a book that attempts to engage with media influence and the author's appearances on pseudoscientific paranormal podcasts have influenced how this book is received by believers.And so a final question: What's the author's responsibility here? And was that responsibility observed?(My answer is, "no." This is a religious text that adds to the mythology, conspiracy theory and normalization of the magical thinking behind ufology.
