This is such a fascinating book according to the reviewer. I really like how he describes what the book is all about. I believe a number of us like reading about such non proven facts. Though the writer says that all is real, it also shows how imaginative he is.

As someone who has been fascinated by the same things as the author, it's refreshing that you could distance yourself from his findings and not be swept away by all of it. Your review is lovely! Cheers to you!!

I am so thankful to see your review! I read the first few pages and seriously thought that the author had written a YA novel and was saying it was real just to keep an interested audience. I too love a good book on the unknown and the experiences of people with such things, but the pictures of this were just too out there. And the cover? It looks like a children’s book. I don’t know about this one for me. I do believe these things exist, but it’s frustrating when people claim proof and the evidence is so untrustworthy. Great review! It helped me realize that I wasn’t the only one thinking this author was out in left field.

I'm surprised this book is non-fiction. Unique as it seems, It will take more than a few murky pictures to convince me that the author really saw aliens.

The cover page actually made me think it was a children's book. I'm not a fan of extraterrestrial beings and don't believe in their existence, so I can imagine how skeptical I'd be reading this book and relying on those pixalated pictures to convince me. Therefore, I'll pass, thanks for the review.

At first I thought the book was for kids based on how the cover looked like,found out it's a man's account based on his real life experiences with the UFO,Shawn who grew up having interested in flying machine and aliens,spent most of his time gazing that led him to taking video and pictures.the book was becoming interesting until there was no evidence to support his story,he had claims if his photos taken during the night were bright as the ones taken during the day because of the electromagnetic field that's generated by UFO ,there was a bit of evidence presented but it was not that clear as he claims that he took the photos with his phone due to lack of enough money to buy a proper camera.the book was just an ok for me but not what I would give a high rate review

Thanks for the review and congratulations to the author. I must say I won’t be picking this book up. I am generally not in love with stories of aliens, but coupled with the distaste of the photos, I think I’ll pass. I will also admit that the cover made me think it was a children’s book.

I think is ignorant and egotistical to think we are the only intelligent life. The pictures were hard to see but I do you sell mentioned they had to be blown up to be put in the book. Also when I book is nonfiction that means it is true. Thanks for the great review!

If this was a work of comic fiction. I'd read it. It does sound funny. As it appears that the author is putting this out as an eye witness account of something, complete with dodgy photos, I think I'll give it a miss. Thanks for your review, which is commendably fair and balanced!

Stargazing actually sounds like a nice hobby for Shawn. It is hard to believe that the pictures taken with his cell phone would be very clear of the starships and aliens that he claims to have seen. It is still interesting to hear about any sightings that he saw. I really thought the book was going to be a children's book from the cartoon-like blue dinosaur on the cover.

From the cover page, I thought it's a children's book. Well, I like to read about extraterrestrial beings and worlds beyond the human realm.

The question of the existence of aliens is a complicated one. I've read some novels and watched some movies Wich approved to their existence. I'm glad this book addresses the same issue. Thanks for the review

Interesting book indeed, I think the author had in his head too much that he started seeing illusions of aliens. The incident about seeing something on his neighbors roof just sounds more imaginary than true. Congratulations to the book of the day.
