This review is from: Enter the Valley: UFOs, Religious Miracles, Cattle Mutilations, and Other Unexplained Phenomena in the San Luis Valley (Mass Market Paperback)
The subject is well researched and presented in a format that draws the reader in. We are presented with reports which are reviewed in an open ended style. The author says something "wonderfull and mysterious is happening" in the region. I'm not sure if I agree that cattle and possible human mutilations are "wonderful" events, but the subject matter cannot be ignored. Compelling enugh to have persuaded a trio of us to plan a trip and "Enter The Valley" this summer for ourselves. Dan

This review is from: Enter the Valley: UFOs, Religious Miracles, Cattle Mutilations, and Other Unexplained Phenomena in the San Luis Valley (Mass Market Paperback)
I liked this book and think you will too. Not as good as his first but still interesting and worth while... Why? Because this man, unlike most other UFO writers actually got out on the ground and did 1000 hours ++ investigation --- and then wrote it up for us to read. Buy it! It is a good value, definitely one of the better books out there.
