About this listen

US Air Force Major George Filer belongs to the generation of pilots and airmen who first became aware of the strange aircraft showing up in the Earth’s atmosphere after World War II. These men - military professionals who flew planes, commanded ships, served as radar operators and air traffic controllers at air fields around the world - began to whisper amongst themselves about encounters with suspected extraterrestrial aircraft. During secret debriefings at US bases, pilots and air crew told their commanders of seeing strange lights at night and in the daylight, groups of saucer - or cigar-shaped craft that easily paced them just a few yards off their plane's wingtip.

Award-winning investigative reporter John Guerra spent four years interviewing Filer, a decorated intelligence officer. From objects in the skies over Cold War Europe to a UFO overflight during the Cuban Missile Crisis to strange lights over the DMZ during the Tet Offensive, Filer leaves nothing out about his Air Force UFO encounters, providing Guerra all the amazing details of his six decades investigating extraterrestrials and their craft. Filer’s most memorable case - the shooting of an alien at Fort Dix Army Base in 1978 - is fully recounted for the first time in this book. Filer - who listeners have seen on countless UFO documentaries - is also a member of the Disclosure Project, the famous panel of military experts, astronauts, and scientists that urges the US government to release all it knows about UFOs to the public.

What an Interesting Life!!

Excellent Writing, Clear & Precise Narration , and Accurate Depiction of Events match the clear and forthright characters of the many military men I have known.

A veteran of Army intelligence once told me: "Sometimes, all you have is the Truth.". You know that Major Filer found himself in that position many times, and he stood by his word.
For that, Filer secured his place in history, while his naysayers faded into obscurity.

Too much biography

I had high hopes for this book. I ended up returning it after listening to about 40%. It had potential, but the author squandered it in two ways: He read the book himself. His voice itself and his reading skill made the narration almost soporific. He made mistakes in pronunciation of foreign words and occasionally read the same line twice.

The Author obviously deeply admired the subject of the book. He wanted to tell the man's whole story, inclusive of his experience with the UFO phenomenon. What he produced was a very detailed biography with UFO episodes included in their order in the man's career. The book is marketed for its accounts of UFOs that the subject encountered, but one has to wade through long periods of biographical and historical detail.
