This real-life The X-Files and Close Encounters of the Third Kind tells the true story of a computer programmer who tracks paranormal events along a 3,000-mile stretch through the heart of America and is drawn deeper and deeper into a vast conspiracy.
Like Agent Mulder of The X-Files, computer programmer and sheriff's deputy Zukowski is obsessed with tracking down UFO reports in Colorado. He takes the family with him on weekend trips to look for evidence of aliens. But this innocent hobby takes on a sinister urgency when Zukowski learns of mutilated livestock and sees the bodies of dead horses and cattle - whose exsanguination is inexplicable by any known human or animal means.
Along an expanse of land stretching across the southern borders of Utah, Colorado, and Kansas, Zukowski discovers multiple bizarre incidences of mutilations and suddenly realizes that they cluster around the 37th parallel, or "UFO Highway". So begins an extraordinary and fascinating journey from El Paso and Rush, Colorado, to a mysterious space studies company and MUFON; from Roswell and Area 51 to the Pentagon and beyond; to underground secret military caverns and Indian sacred sites; beneath strange, unexplained lights in the sky; and into corporations that obstruct and try to take over investigations.
Inspiring and terrifying, this true story will keep you up at night, staring at the sky and wondering if we really are alone and what could happen next.

This was an entertaining book but the story didn't have a traditional narrative. I'm not sure what made Ben Mezrich choose this story for his next book as it is so far removed from his normal subject matter. He didn't do a bad job with the story there just wasn't much story to tell. The book sets up a situation where the reader thinks some kind of conflict will arise to make the "plot" more interesting but it never happens. The "characters" are exactly the same at the end as they are at the beginning. I know this is a "true" story so it won't follow traditional story line but usually when someone's story is true and worth telling is is because of its extraordinary situation. While the subject matter is extraordinary the story itself was not. If someone is deeply interested in the UFO or government conspiracy subject matter then this book is a worthy read but for someone who is either a Ben Mezrich fan or someone looking for a UFO based fiction than there are much better books out there. For the UFO and/or government conspiracy reader there are also better books to read first but this is a decent addition to ones library for simply its grassroots UFO hunting storyline.Irrelevant story of grassroots UFO hunting.

But yes, that ending is a little irritating. I guess with the nature of the tale ending a book of this kind of tricky and I'm certain the author will have agonized over the end.
Could he have ended it better? Probably
Could the end ruin your previous enjoyment? No, don't be silly.
If you're reading this review then the chances are you'll really enjoy the first 6 & a half hours or so. The last 5 min, not so much. But don't let some of the other reviews put you off. It's not a deal breaker by any stretch.
Interesting stuff! About *that* ending tho...

What made the experience of listening to The 37th Parallel the most enjoyable?
Inside perspective without too much unnecessary drama.What did you like best about this story?
The balance of Naive American stories come-to-life by non-native ranchers and citizens. And the list of longitude/latitudes of incidents.Which scene was your favorite?
Chapter 19. Hands down chapter 19. Rarely does this type of book touch on Native American Skin Walkers. Specifically Ute and Nez Perce.If you could give The 37th Parallel a new subtitle, what would it be?
A calaboration of scientifically researched experiences along North America's UFO HighwayAny additional comments?
I can't wait to re-read, and listen again on my next road trip through these areas of rural NM, CO, AZ!Don't listen to the negative reviews!
