About this ebook
The explosive, untold story of the Cold War's biggest secret. The REAL X-Files.
It is the most famous military installation in the world. And no credible insider has ever divulged the truth about his time inside of it. Until now. This is the first book based on interviews with scientists, pilots, and engineers - 58 in total - who provide an unprecedented look into the mysterious activities of a top-secret base, from the Cold War to today. With a jaw-dropping ending, it proves that facts are often more fantastic than fiction, especially when the distinction is almost impossible to make.

It was okay, if unexciting, up until the last chapter. Then it took a turn into the truly stupid. A ridiculous theory only a simpleton could believe, but apparently the author believed it. That a revolutionary electromagnetic hover/fly engine developed by the Nazis would be used in ONE craft by the Soviets that would purposely crashland in the USA and be captured... Just in order to cause some minor panic in the USA as retaliation for the USA not sharing atomic bomb secrets. And then such technology would never be used again by either party. Obviously, the author's source was taking the piss or was delusional. But it ruins the credibility of the rest of the book.
