The W-Files Subtitle: True Reports of Wisconsin's Unexplained Phenomena (<A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0915024594/bufosweirdworld"> The W-Files</A>) by Jay Rath Paperback (pagination unknown) December, 1997 List Price: unknown, Amazon Price*: $14.95 Reviewed by larryk@sturminc.com (Larry Katerzynske) Recommended book, although it's quite regional, as the title suggests: "The W-Files: True Reports of Wisconsin's Unexplained Phenomena" by Jay Rath. Written in a somewhat light-hearted style, but very readable and you can tell the author is very intrigued by his subject. He even encountered his own personal "MIB" while doing the book! Everything included: Bigfoot, UFOs, werewolves, lake serpents, Atlantis... even kangaroo sightings! 1997, Wisconsin Trails, Madison, WI 800-236-8088 (PS: I am not affiliated with the author or publisher- I just happened to pick it up at the library yesterday and couldn't put it down. LK) ------------ Night Siege Subtitle: The Hudson Valley UFO Sightings (<A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/156718362X/bufosweirdworld"> Night Siege (Hudson Valley UFOs)</A>) by J. Allen Hynek, Philip J. Imbrogno, Bob Pratt Paperback (288 pages) This Revised Edition May 1998 Review by JSMortell@aol.com (Jim) A book I read recently intrigued me enormously, and I am not quite sure why. I am driven to read everything I can on the subject of UFO's, but much of what I read, frankly, is merely a rehash of the same old pap. But this one was different. I could not put this one down. Perhaps it was because the sightings reported in the book took place in my backward. In any case, the book is, "Night Siege, the Hudson Valley UFO Sightings" and was written by Dr. Hynek, Phil Imbrogno and Bob Pratt. The book is published by Llewellyn Publications. I ordered it online from Barnes and Noble. The book stars the "triangular and boomerang" twins frequently seen in Westchester, Putnam and Orange Counties in New York's Hudson Valley region. They were also seen in Western Connecticut. Even more recently, I had an opportunity to speak with someone who was there at the time, had some sightings himself and even had a hot line set up for reports. That was Peter Gersten of CAUSE. The chat with Peter took place AFTER I read the book, but his opines clarified some issues and created even more interest in just exactly what happened. Also, the book is written largely, by those who had the sightings, written in their words. Even more interesting are the witnesses. They span the cultural and professional range of the people spectrum. But more important is that many of these witnesses are technical professionals, people whose opinion has greater validity than, say, a guy who just fell off the back of a turnip truck. I loved it. Others may agree. But it is worth a reading. Jim --------- Thank you again for your recommendations! If =you= have a book (or video, etc.) to recommend, I'd appreciate the opportunity to pass it along. Please be sure to let me know if you would like to be cited.
