Microchip engineer and sheriff's deputy Chuck Zukowski has a unique hobby; since his early teens, he has been obsessed with the study of Unidentified Flying Objects -- UFOs. Known locally as "the Mulder of El Paso," Colorado, in reference to the legendary FBI agent from the TV show The X-Files, Zukowski loads his family into their Winnebago on weekends and heads out to investigate reports of alien visitations. But what began as an innocent hobby assumes a sinister urgency when Zukowski learns of mutilated livestock on a remote ranch and sees for himself the de-fleshed and desiccated bodies of horses and cattle -- whose exsanguination cannot be explained by any known human or animal means. With in-depth interviews and unprecedented access to sources, multiple New York Times bestselling author Ben Mezrich tells the hair-raising true story of mysterious phenomena that have alarmed homeowners and ranchers for decades. Zukowski documents hundreds of bizarre incidents of mutilations and UFO sightings along the southern borders of Utah, Colorado, and Kansas -- and then discovers that they stretch far beyond, through the heart of America. He begins to fear for his own safety as his pursuit of the truth draws him deeper and deepter into a vast conspiracy, and he journeys from rural farms in Colorado to a mysterious space studies company, from Roswell and Area 51 to underground and secret military installations, from Indian sacred sites to wilderness areas where strange , unexplained lights traverse the sky at extraordinary speeds. Inspiring and terrifying, these real-life close encounters will make you, too, wonder if we are really alone." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Ben Mezrich graduated magna cum laude from Harvard. He lives in Boston.
