Dreamland: Travels Inside the Secret World of Roswell and Area 51

This very easy to read book is full of factual (did you hear that - factual) information about the history of Dreamland and a LOT more. It puts the whole UFO/Alien base/secret aircraft/etc. topic in a rational perspective. Even for those not interested in the topic, there is a lot of interesting history in this quick read...enjoy.

Dreamland, by Phil Patton, is a MUST for any serious UFOlogy, Conspiracy, or Ameritech enthusiast. I have to say that my hopes have been met in his latest work. A work of this direction, specifically geared toward the growing sub (or counter?) culture of those profiled, as well as their obsessions or research subjects, is long overdue. I will, in the future, recommend it with intense zeal to everyone who is in search of an introductory overview of ufology and other related issues, as well as to the old-timers who may not be very familiar with the roots of their obsessions. This well researched book can be take seriously by both sides of the political/social conflict. Acquire a copy immediately!

I also recommend Robert Doherty's books AREA 51 and AREA 51 THE REPLY if you are interested in Area 51 and many of the things that are now called paranormal.

There, buried toward the end, an obscure Poe poem: Dreamland. Earlier: how flying saucers were invented. Physicists who open up to us the very real possibility of parallel universes. Jock pilots overthrown by video-game experts (remembering my own visits to the parlors filled with gawky misfits, about to become Top Gun-like heroes, what a glorious joke). And of course all the wondrous characters and machines that populate, in the loosest sense, this nebulous Dreamland, Area 51. What the professional reviews seem to miss are the surprises here, the pieces of a gem-like puzzle that made me stop, re-read, appreciate, believe. And the respect Patton has for his readers: he lets us discover/no arrogant belief that the mystery and its solution are his alone.

This new hardcover. "Dreamland", is chocked full of chronological and technical details. Taking the reader from the Air Bases and saucer crash sites of New Mexico, to Nevada, and the border of Area 51 itself.Phil Patton leaves little to conjecture, coming through with plausible and concrete explanations for the "lights in the sky" some believe are really Flying Saucers -- while also deftly lifting the veil of secrecy from Area 51, and the "Black Projects" it has spawned.
