Review of 'Mirage Men' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Slightly disjointed in style, this book can't quite decide if it wamts to be gonzo journalism told first hand or a hard-nosed investigation into American alphabet agency UFO disinformation shenanigans. Still, has some intriguing insights into the murky world of the disinfo agents - the "Mirage Men" of the title - and the mindsets of the ufologists they manipulate. Injects some much needed pyrrhonism into the field. You don't know what pyrrhonism is? Nor did I until I read the last chapter of this book.
