Ms. Annie Jacobsen your book AREA 51 is most interesting , I have studied this subject for many years , and met an individual of High Rank who also talked about an AREA 22 that you mentioned on page 204. I met him back in 1999.! Everything you have said is true. Know one should make criticism unless they understand the truth. Bob Lazar I have been told did not work at AREA 51 since civilians were never allowed in.Underground tunnels and a train system does exist.Use of “deadly force” has NEVER been used. Thank You for a Great Book.!
I loved this book and as a native New Mexican, have followed the Roswell crash over the years reading myriad books on the subject. I wish your contact would have elaborated more on your Russian saucer angle. My dad worked at White Sands Missile Range from 1960-84 and he was witness to fascinating aerial weaponry and other military technology including drones, stealth planes and cruise missile research and testing. You may want to explore WSMR further as a mini area 51. Good job and a great read.
Hope to see a follow up soon.
I thoroughly enjoyed your book. As a native New Mexican, growing up with Roswell folklore, I was intrigued by the USSR saucer crash in the desert.
I was disappointed, as a former journalist, why some questions were not asked. #1, where did the soviets launch the saucer from? Mexico, Gulf of Mexico? Pacific ocean? all the way from Russia? I wish you would have expanded on the subject. But overall a terrific read and a great piece of history.
Thank You.
Annie
What were you thinking? Its a good book but the part about the Russian craft landing at Rosewell is just plan nuts. Let me get this straight. You believe the story that a saucer shaped craft from Russia piloted by children made up to look like aliens flow over the north pole with the intend of landing in america to scare people? Come on. What were you smoking or did you just add the story in hopes of selling more books. Come on, tell us why you really added that BS story.
I’m in the process of developing a sequel to this book!

Dear Ms. Jacobsen,
Thank you for bringing what could be told about this mystrerious place and sticking to the facts. I fly airplanes for a commercial airline and go through Las Vegas frequently. We joke that “JANET has more flights to Area 51 than any other airline” As you know, JANET stands for Just Another Extra Terrestial. Kidding aside, I have flown with former EG&G pilots and even one flight attendant and what little they shared, which wasn’t much, corresponds with your facts. Today I was flying with a co-pilot who knew General Bond’s daughter. Once on takeoff in Las Vegas, we apparently had a new ATC controller who cleared me direct to Boise shortly after takeoff. “This is going to get interesting” “I said to the co-pilot who was also new. As he gave me a funny look, another voice came back on the radio and said “Southwest XXX, Nellis just called and said they are unable direct Boise, turn left and resume the charted departure!” “Awe shucks,” I said, “I wanted to see Dreamland.” In a mock tone of seriousness, the controller responded, “Las Vegas departure has no knowledge of any facility or instalation called Dreamland!” “Right”
Anyway good work on the book. Well done. I still have a little trouble believing that Joseph Stalin was able to smuggle a Horten Flying Wing type aircraft into New Mexico but the truth is often stranger than anything we could logically concieve. By the way, I seem to remember a you tube video of somebody that made a scale model of the Horten wing glider. I’m afraid it didn’t fly very well but it looked identical to the photos in your book. If you like, I can try to chase that down for you.
Cheers,

Thank you, Annie, for a well written book that thoroughly entertained me (though some of the bizarre parts makes me wonder about this world) but also made me go back to some of the history I either forgot about (Pueblo incident) or only knew the very basics (Bay Of Pigs). I wish the engineer from E,G & G would’ve opened up some more on the ‘hover’ aspects of the downed craft of 1947 and also I wish you would have asked him that since that function (through reverse engineering) has been ‘solved’ – would this account for (if not all) MOST of the U.F.O. sightings that have been reported ? Quibbling aside, thank you for writing this book – it must have been a lot of work, especially considering that you provided a lot of rich detail and information. I will recommend this book to others. Well done !
Annie, forgive me, but the family that held a mining claim near Groom was Sheahan, not Sheehan. My late wife was a cousin of Dan and Martha Sheahan, and I continue my contact with their daughter, Sr. Barbara Sheahan, SHF, of Stockton CA; Barbara has personally been at the mine site and can tell some stories, in case you plan on a srequel and want another interviewee.
Hmm, Not sure if Annie is in the CIA (they plant folks in the mass media all the time) or has been snookered by the CIA but that rabbits hole on Roswell is a classic pc of specious disinformation. Cmon 2 Horten bros who could never be found? Yada yada I’m not even going to bother typing how much more of her Roswell rendition is hoey! I’ll take Phillip Corso’s word on Roswell by a looong shot over this tripe. I take Astronaut Gordon Coopers testimony much more seriously. Anybody really interested in UFO’s need to watch the Disclosure Project at the National press club and see and hear public testimony by ex NASA and Military Officers and not be led astray by classic CIA disinformation tricks. It’s 2012 the truth’s been out for 20 years now!
Amazing and scary. Thank you Mrs. Jacobson. Everyone needs-to-know about this book. Couldn’t and didn’t put it down until now.
A thoroughly researched and well written book…although I did find 5 small errors…mostly grammatical or missing words that do not take away from the tremendous effort that went into making this book as interesting and well written on a very difficult subject.
Thank you for your excellent research and writing. This book is essential reading for all thinking people, and for politicians as well!
In writing this history you have achieved something of extremely high value to society, if we can all learn from it.
I have a a few extra years on my eyes, so I had to wait til the large print edition came out to read your work. Really enjoyed it. A lot of friends from the old days…Ken Collins, Dennis Sullivan, Tony Bevaqua, Buz Carpenter…
I came in late, in 1970, at Beale. Spent years in Kadena and later Mildenhall with the sled. Still don’t talk much about it. Not sure what the blazes is classified or not. Interesting, though, to read about things in open literature that were so hush hush. Thanks for a good memory jog!

Just finished Area 51. This was very hard to put down! Thank you for your effort. You’ve done us all a great service.
Annie your book is great and has a ton of research. I ran an operation at Area51 for 14 years and provided over 100 very classified systems that were used to test all stealth vehicles after 1975. I would love to provide you a bunch of data for your next book which I assume will be called “Area51 Post 1975″. I also have a correction for you on page 8.
Thanks, Walt Ordway
Ms. Jacobsen,
What an inspiring achievement you have created in this book. You have made perfect sense out of decades old mysteries and have brought light to the details of Black World Operations and the depths of it’s origins.
I hope some day you write another to shed more details and clear up speculation.
Job well done!!!
Enjoyed the book very much. Aside from small errors such as the reference to Japanese jet fighters intercepting B 29s, the book filled in gaps and questions left by such books as Dark sun by Richard Rhodes. As far as insane projects in that area, look into Pluto, the nuclear turbine cruise missile. If you are considering following up on the Russian Roswell connection, I suggest starting at the other end. The Russians had many high energy field research programs that looked into Tesla research all the way to Philadelphia project type ideas. The Moscow technical institute may be a place to start. Thanks again for a great book all the best.
Annie, I am so privileged to have your book. Once I started it, I could not put it down.
Very well written. The research is incredible (time and energy)! I read only nonfiction, four or five per month. I had my objections at first to get your book, glad I did. It’s a good read when an author can put it on paper! Cheers
Amazing book Annie. Job well done!
Stellar contribution to knowledge concerning Area 51 and its many other nicknames.
Amazing book! Had to force myself to put it down so I don’t miss the Superbowl. Incredible.research , extremely well written. Thank-your Annie!
