Area 51

The Area 51 Viewers Guide

by Glenn Campbell

The Area 51 bible! A must for anyone visiting the area! Full of information, wit, sarcasim, and personal anecdotes. Lacking only from barely any photos and very little info on reported UFO sightings.

The Area 51 & S4 handbook

by Chuck Clark

Really just a poor knock off of Glenn Campbells Viewers guide, this book tends to focus on what the Viewers Guide was lacking.... photos and UFO's. There are many decent pictures of military hardware and plenty of UFO reports, but not a whole lot of useful information. The directions to Tikaboo Peak are terrible.

Area 51: The Dreamland Chronicles

by David Darlington

An entertaining look at the colorful characters that have been drawn to Dreamland. Darlington expertly blends history, humor, irony, the obscure, and the rational to provide an enjoyable read from start to finish.

Dreamland

by Phil Patton

An indepth look at the history of Area 51. Thorough and organized but unfortunatly lacking the style and fun of Area 51: The Dreamland Chronicles. Patton also quickly dismisses the UFO sightings as common military hardware, which takes away from the mystery somewhat.

UFO Headquaters

by Susan Wright

Wright takes a comprehensive look at the UFO phenomenon using Area 51 as her "Rosetta Stone." On the plus side this is a great introduction to those who have just discovered the topic of UFO's. On the minus side, Area 51 makes a poor "Rosetta Stone" since it is still uncertain whether base is even linked to the UFO phenomenon.

Fishing Groom Lake

by The Wolfe Design Group

Do-it-yourself guide to building Groom Lake surveilance equipment. Many of these gadgets seem to bare little relevence to hunting UFO's or black aircraft but might make interesting projects for electronics enthusiasts. If your not particularly electronically inclined skip this one. Also includes excerpts from a few popular Area 51 websites.

The Day After Roswell

by Lt. Col. Phillip Corso (ret)

Corso's "landmark" book..... Yeah right! Corso claims to have played a key role in brokering technology recovered from the Roswell crash into everyday society. Heavily discredited.... Absolute drivel.

The Threat

by David M. Jacobs Ph.D.

The aliens are here and they're up to no good! Yes they have a master plan to recolonize earth with human/alien hybrids. How did Dr. Jacobs come upon this startling information? Well, with the time honored technique of hypnotic regression of coarse! What more proof do you need? Dr. Jacobs certainly didn't need any more, and thats where this book fails. Jacobs fails to back up his theory with any other evidence. However, many excerpts from his abductees regression sessions are fairly entertaining, and the X-files like theme does make this entertaining enough to read.

The Marfa Lights

by Judith M. Brueske, Ph.D.

First-hand stories of mysterious lights in Marfa, TX. that dance on the desert floor and chase cars. Brueske obstains from speculation for the most part, but does offer many "natural" explantions for what could be causing this strange phenomonon.

UFO's Over Topanga Canyon

by Preston Dennett

The first book to report on the wave of UFO activity in the Topanga Canyon area. Dennett did an excellent job of organizing reports of all kinds from the region. But unfortunately he offers no skeptisim at all, everything is simply taken at face value.

Underground Bases and Tunnels

by Richard Sauder Ph.D.

Despite the subtitle "What is the government trying to hide" that appears on the cover, this book completly refrians from delving into conspiracies of any kind, and thankfully so. A well researched, well put together look at the technology of constructing underground facilities.

UFO USA

by S.P.A.C.E.A.G.E.

The first guide book to every major ufo hotspot in the U.S. A clever idea that was only moderatly executed. Glancing through the Area 51 section I found several errors, the most major being Bob Lazar being refered to as "highly credible".

Mind Trek

by Joseph McMoneagle

A part history, part autobiography, part do-it-yourself guide to Remote Viewing. Believe it or not the government actually (and admittedly) did research into using Psychic's in a military capacity, furthermore their research proved sucessful!

A History of UFO Crashes

by Kevin Randle

An excellent resource of alledged UFO crashes. Includes a chronolgical list of all reported crashes throughout history, of which at least 90% are proclaimed hoaxes, misinterpretations, or lacking enough information to draw a conclusion. However, there is a handfull (about five) that seem to be unexplainable by terrestrial means.
