Book review: Travels in Dreamland – Phil Patton

This is the first in a series of brief, random and intermittent book reviews…

Travels in Dreamland is a peculiar book about Area 51 and its relation to the UFO watching community in America. It describes the birth of the skunkworks, a fascinating and extremely intense lab/research department. There is also a lot of discussion about the community of UFO watchers that has built up around the base – these people come over as paranoid, though I suspect thats not the intention of the author.

An interesting book if you’re into UFOs and US military aircraft research, probably rather long-winded if you’re not.
