Summary: Ufo Crash at Aztec
Review: I've been reading and collecting UFO books since 1966 (I have over 200 different titles in my library) and this is one of the top 10! It may lack the snappy writing of Frank Scully's account of the Aztec Crash (Behind The Flying Saucers, 1950), but it makes up for it in content. There are numerous appendixes with actual photocopies of letters (many hand-written), documents, etc. that go far beyond just this one UFO crash scenario and provide a comprehensive review of the government crash cover-up scene from the 50's thru the 80's. Like most UFO dabblers, I had written the Aztec affair off as a hoax (spurred on by Kevin Randle's account of it in his "Casebook of Crashed UFO's), but by the time I was several chapters into this enormous work, I took time out to re-read the Scully book that started it all. It put a new light of beleivability on the whole Aztec crash story. If you have any interest at all in Ufo crash retreivals, this book is as much a MUST READ as Scully's original 1950 book.

Summary: Very intriguing and entertaining
Review: This is by far one of the best books on the topic of UFO crashes I have encountered. A wonderful follow-up to the classic "Behind the Flying Saucers" (1950)by Frank Skully. Considering all the recent flack that has arisen concerning the questionable credibility of various witnesses relating to the Roswell case (e.g., Frank Kaufmann, Glenn Dennis), the crash at Aztec first reported by Frank Skully doesn't really strike as any less (or more?) feasible. Perhaps other UFO-crash writers might do well to reconsider their opinion that the crash at Aztec was nothing but a "hoax", because presently the Roswell incident doesn't appear to have much more going for it, if applying the same standards by which Aztec has been dismissed. The previous reviewer has provided a fantastic overview of this work, to which I need not add more. I give this work 4 stars, and would give it 5 if not for the numerous typos. But it's an enjoyable work. What's not to love about a thick 625 page UFO book that has an alien head and a flying saucer embossed on its cover?
