Mirage Men

A Journey into Disinformation, Paranoia and UFOs

By: Mark Pilkington

Narrated by: Ciaran Saward

Seeking the truth about UFOs in America, Mark Pilkington and John Lundberg uncover a 60-year-old story stranger than any conspiracy thriller.

Through the fascinating account of their quest, Mark Pilkington reveals the long history of UFOria and its parallels in little-known tales from the murky worlds of espionage, psychological warfare, and advanced military technology. Along the way he discovers that the truth about flying saucers is stranger and more complex than either the ufologists or debunkers would have us believe.

As he crossed the US meeting intelligence agents, disinformation specialists, and UFO hunters, Pilkington was confronted with a dizzying array of ever more outrageous claims and counter claims. As a result he began to suspect that, instead of covering up stories of crashed flying saucers, alien contacts, and secret underground bases, the US intelligence agencies had actually been promoting them all along. Meanwhile he has to deal with his own uncertainties, the suspicions of the UFO community, and a partner who is starting to believe that conspiracy theorists might be right after all.

This is an important book.

This book really draws the line between real and fake in the supernatural field. It is also exceptionally presented by the narrator.

Essential reading for anyone interested in UFOlogy!

Narrator loses points for pronouncing “Project Beta” as “Project BEETA.” Maybe it’s just his accent but it irked me

Fun, Nice read to get away

Enjoy the narrative & it’s funny to think about all of this. Excellent narration and good story. Rick Doty is a trickster!

How it’s hard to decide the truth

This book had me jumping from one belief to another then back again. What is the best truth? Do we really want to know the truth?

Entertaining

This book is fun entertainment. I like it. With that said, expect that whatever you believe when you start the book that that will be exactly where you will be at the end.
