<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"This real-life The X-Files and Close Encounters of the Third Kind tells the true story of a computer programmer who tracks paranormal events along a 3,000-mile stretch through the heart of America and is drawn deeper and deeper into a vast conspiracy. Like "Agent Mulder" of The X-Files, computer programmer and sheriff's deputy Zukowski is obsessed with tracking down UFO reports in Colorado. He would take the family with him on weekend trips to look for evidence of aliens. But this innocent hobby takes on a sinister urgency when Zukowski learns of mutilated livestock, and sees the bodies of dead horses and cattle--whose exsanguination is inexplicable by any known human or animal means. Along an expanse of land stretching across the southern borders of Utah, Colorado, and Kansas, Zukowski discovers multiple bizarre incidences of mutilations, and suddenly realizes that they cluster around the 37th Parallel or "UFO Highway." So begins an extraordinary and fascinating journey from El Paso and Rush, Colorado, to a mysterious space studies company and MUFON, from Roswell and Area 51 to the Pentagon and beyond; to underground secret military caverns and Indian sacred sites; beneath strange, unexplained lights in the sky and into corporations that obstruct and try to take over investigations. Inspiring and terrifying, this true story will keep you up at night, staring at the sky, and wondering if we really are alone ... and what could happen next"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A real-life mix of <i>The X-Files </i>and <i>Close Encounters of the Third Kind</i>, Mezrich "writes vividly and grippingly...A terrific story...[that] will make a heck of a movie" (<i>The</i> <i>Washington Post</i>).

He even takes the family with him on weekend trips to look for evidence of aliens. But this innocent hobby takes on a sinister urgency when Zukowski learns of mutilated livestock--whose exsanguination is inexplicable by any known human or animal means. <p/>Along an expanse of land stretching across the southern borders of Utah, Colorado, and Kansas, Zukowski documents hundreds of bizarre incidences of mutilations, and discovers that they stretch through the heart of America. His pursuit of the truth draws him deeper into a vast conspiracy, and he journeys from Roswell and Area 51 to the Pentagon and beyond; from underground secret military caverns to Native American sacred sites; and to wilderness areas where strange, unexplained lights traverse the sky at extraordinary speeds.

Riveting."-- "USA Today"<br><br>"[E]xtremely engaging ... the inclusion of photos and important documents really helps the reader understand the intricacies of the investigation."-- "Press Association (UK)"<br><br>"A book to make <i>X-Files </i>fans twitch in excitement, Mezrich connects dots we didn't even know existed.... A nicely dramatic narrative... Something's clearly happening out there in the high meadows and along desert highways... Fans of Art Bell and company will find all the affirmation they need." <p/> <p/> -- "Kirkus"<br><br>"Fascinating... Chuck Zukowski takes up UFO investigations as a hobby, but it slowly turns into something more. ... Mezrich approaches the material seriously, preserving the human element but taking care to present the facts. Zukowski's realization that many sightings and events line up along the 37th parallel is the culmination of years of investigations, and after thrilling stories of lights in the sky, screams in the night, and mysterious dark helicopters, readers will be more than ready for the exciting revelation."-- "Publishers Weekly"<br><br>"Mezrich writes vividly and grippingly... It all makes a terrific story."-- "Washington Post"<br>
