1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Waste Your Time or Money, 28 Jul 1999
By A Customer
O'Brien, the self-proclaimed "renowned ufologist" whom no one had ever heard of before he managed finagle a book contract, has authored a poorly written, sleazy tabloid paperback that does nothing to enhance the stellar reputation of UFO research.

The book, which is actually semi-fictional (just ask any of the major figures in the book if their accounts were portrayed accurately), also contains ludicrous examples of the total lack of scientific and technical knowledge of the author. In one instance, he refers to a Geiger counter measuring ultraviolet radiation!

At the end of the book, he completely misrepresents a case where someone found an ordinary blown-glass skull as being one of the rare crystal skulls found in various places in the world, even though everyone who had seen it realized it was ordinary glass. He later had to issue an embarrassing retraction.

This book would be zero stars if that was an option.

4.0 out of 5 stars Close Encounters: the movie or the valley?, 22 Jan 1999
By A Customer
After reading this book and seeing the movie Close Encounters, again, I see several similarities between the two. The cattle mutilations and the black helicopters are only some of the bizarre and extremely interesting things that Mr. O'Brien points out. Is our government doing something unbelievable in Southern Colorado? Is it possible, with the proximity of some of America's most secretive mountain bases that we are being lead down some path of doom? There are still some questions I have regarding some facts in The Mysterious Valley, but other than that it's a good read. Personally, I'd love to see another book or an updated version of it. Skeptics should save their money and time. Believers should read it and, as always, pass the title along to a friend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, mysterious tales and history of the San Luis Valley, 23 April 1998
By A Customer
Christopher O'Brien writes a thoroughly researched, descriptive account of the odd and amazing happenings of the San Luis Valley in southern Colorado/northern New Mexico. He also recounts the rich history of this wonderfully old, culturally diverse region of the country that attracts people from all over the world. He amasses a lot of info, and coherently and cogently presents it for the reader, creating a tremendously thought-provoking, exciting web of tales, that lures the reader to this "Mysterious Valley".
