UFO Encounters

Up Close and Personal

De: Jason Gleaves

Narrado por: audiobooks2go

This book delves into UFO cases, both known and unknown, that gripped the curiosity of many ufologists, authors, researchers, and experiencers worldwide within our field and tugged their interest and fascination. Often screaming and shouting into the realms of high strangeness and the unexplained, they explain in detail either the UFO case or sighting or experience that started them off on their own ufological journey. Contributions have come from UFO researchers, authors, and experiencers from around the world including: Dr. Bruce Maccabee, Don Schmitt, Peter Robbins, Philip Mantle, Mike Covell, Kathleen Marden, Stan Ho, Rebecca Lomas, Mark Olly, Nigel Watson, Osvaldo Carigi, and many, many more. The editor of this book is UK author and researcher Jason Gleaves, who, of course, adds his own contribution.

Jason has this to say about the book: I would like to personally thank everyone who has taken the time to contribute within our field and community with their personal experiences and stories; you have all had a huge part to play in my own personal ufology journey, teaching me so much and helping me along the way.

Unique book filled with fascinating cases

This is a great idea that I’m surprised hasn’t been done before; ask a large collection of UFO researchers to reflect on the case that has impacted them the most.

The cases do no disappoint. Excellent variety.

The only stumble is the narration. The narrator apparently read EVERY WORD from the print version. This results in what can be very long biographies of each researcher before the case is that examined, all of which are included in the individual tracks. I would fast forward for several minutes in order to get to the cases. These would have better placed at the end in separate chapters IMO.

The meat of the book is very solid and I would recommend it to anyone interested in the subject, the only caveat being the introductions are often very long and the listener may wish to skip them manually.

Tons of UFO encounters from all type

So many witness testimonies of UFO encounters very well detailed, with all sources. Including a case of a Chineese Roswell Never heard before. A must read.

A great mix of Famous and not so famous reports

A really enjoyable book, containing a good mix of famous and lesser known UFO encounters. Some being retellings and some first hand accounts

Great collection

Nice work with many detailed descriptions of encounters and other-worldly experiences from many well-known folks! Nice job!!!

Auto narration + missing photos, a minus!

The accounting are well presented. I particularly dud not like the auto narration. Also, most important is an accompanied PDF with the visuals, like photos and drawings. So one can make sense of the accounts. I lost the interest without being able to see the visual media...

Horrible narration. Fake British accent Made me quit listening after 5 minutes.

Narration ruined the book for me. Should have returned the book. Will order hard copy & read.
