THE HORRIFYING TRUE STORY OF A GOVERNMENT-AUTHORIZED CAMPAIGN OF DISINFORMATION THAT DEFINED AN ERA OF ALIEN PARANOIA AND DESTROYED ONE MAN'S LIFE. In 1978, Paul Bennewitz, an electrical physicist living in Albuquerque, New Mexico, engaged in some aggressive radio monitoring of the nearby Sandia Labs, then managed by the Department of Defense. When he became convinced that the strange lights hovering over the labs and Kirtland Air Force Base signaled the vanguard of an extraterrestrial alien invasion, he began writing TV stations, newspapers, senators -- and even President Reagan -- to alert them. For the most part Bennewitz received form-letter replies, but Air Force investigators paid him a visit, as did Bill Moore, author of the first book on the Roswell incident. Before long Moore -- then a new force in civilian UFO research -- was tapped by a group of intelligence agents and a deal was struck: Moore was to keep tabs on Bennewitz while the Air Force ran a psychological profile and disinformation campaign on the unsuspecting physicist. In return, Air Force Intelligence would let Moore in on classified UFO material. This is Bennewitz's harrowing tale, told by fringe-culture historian Greg Bishop. It is the troubling account of the custom-made hall of smoke and mirrors that eventually drove Bennewitz to a mental institution, as well as the story of the explosive propagation of disinformation that began in 1979 and reverberates through the UFO community and pop culture to this day.

Great Study Bible
Format: Imitation Leather, Format: Imitation Leather
I’m very happy with this Amplified Study Bible. First the large print makes it so much easier to read than the comfort print Bibles. I love study Bibles. I have 3 different translations I like to reference. I don’t think The Amplified Bible is for everyone. My husband doesn’t care for it. Although he will ask me to cross reference scripture out of it at times. I love how this Bible explains and expands the meaning in scripture. It makes it easier to understand some of the scriptures. The Study Notes are amazing. Giving even more context and insight into scripture. The Theological Notes are great they give scripture a whole new depth. I appreciate the Book Introduction, they help set the stage for what’s taking place in that particular book. The cross reference system of this Bible helps with cross referencing. The Full color Maps and Bible Lands are wonderful. They help the reader to be able to visualize where things take place. The quality seems very good. The cover seems well made. The pages feel like they’re made from high quality paper. My highlighters don’t bleed through to the other side. Overall I’m very happy with this Study Bible and love having this Bible in my collection.

Great Bible to add to your library
Format: Imitation Leather
The Bible reads as it is described to read. I have found one typo in the text in the three days since I received it: what should be a "they" is written "thy." 2200+ pages. Great companion text to fill in words whose omission may cause a subject or object confusion in verses. The Bible provides in-text dates and lineage to frame the narrative. I am well-pleased with the purchase.
