[.ca] Top Secret/Majic: Operation Majestic-12 and the United ... (ISBN 1569243425)

Essential Reading:
Stanton T. Friedman is one of the most well-known ufologists in the world. His research is unparalelled. He has dug further and deeper into government archives than most would even want to. It hasn't been an easy trip for him, but the results speak for themselves. Friedman calls himself a fact & figures man, and that's mainly what this book delivers. Essentially, it boils down to this: There's an 8-page document that was received anonymously that purports to be a briefing paper given to President-Elect Eisenhower about the UFO crash at Roswell. If genuine, it would confirm not only are we being visited by aliens, but that the US government has known about it for quite some time. The bulk of the book consists Friedman trying to find flaws in the document by checking dates, names, places, times, all the minute details that you can think of and dozens that you wouldn't have thought of. Was he able to shred the credibility of the report? Buy the book and find out. Friedman has done his homework, and has been doing it for decades. This book is not something that was produced overnight. Only decades of research, in 15 archives, and interviews with dozens of people, could have produced a book of this depth. I found Friedman to be absolutely convincing, especially when debunking those who have attempted to attack his methods. He tends to repeat things from chapter to chapter, but I found this helpful as there are so many names and dates to keep in your head. As a bonus, Friedman includes a recently found, highly detailed UFO document. He has yet to finish researching its background and probably won't finish that for quite a few years. However, when you get to the end of the book and read it, it will give you chills. I have found Friedman to be a very thorough researcher, and this book was a total page-turner for me. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to get off on the right foot in beginning your own research into UFO phenomena.
