According to numerous abductees, after being kidnapped by aliens, they are kidnapped again...by the government. These follow-up events are the work of a powerful group hidden deep within the military and the intelligence community. It is the secret agenda of this highly classified organization to figure out what the so-called Grays are really up to. The best way for the government to get the answers is to interrogate those who have come face-to-face with the UFO phenomenon: the abductees.

The biggest lie in history is about to be shattered. UFOs are real. In late June of 1947, three extraterrestrial craft were downed outside Roswell Air Force Base. Many more followed, revealing dozens of ET species and a Rosetta Stone to a new physics, an energy generation and propulsion system responsible for interstellar space travel. This new system could have easily replaced oil, gas, coal, and nuclear plants - and with them, the entire geopolitical and economic order on our planet. But a cabal of bankers, the military-industrial complex, and Big Oil stopped it.

In 1955, as a result of a secret agreement reached between the Eisenhower Administration and a German breakaway group in Antarctica, a transnational corporate space program began to emerge. The secret infusion of personnel and resources from US military contractors into Antarctica allowed this transnational corporate program to steadily grow into a major space power, which would eventually surpass and eclipse the secret space programs run by the US Navy, Air Force, and the classified space programs of other nations.

For more than 40 years, the US government has researched extrasensory perception, using it in attempts to locate hostages, fugitives, secret bases, and downed fighter jets, to divine other nations' secrets, and even to predict future threats to national security. The intelligence agencies and military services involved include CIA, DIA, NSA, DEA, the Navy, Air Force, and Army - and even the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Now, for the first time, New York Times best-selling author Annie Jacobsen tells the story of these radical, controversial programs.

The authors predict radical changes after official acknowledgment that at least some UFOs are intelligently controlled craft from somewhere other than Earth.

Has modern science already communicated with intelligent beings from outer space? Why have UFOs undergone drastic design changes in the past 60 years?

Area 51, Hangar 18, the Montauk facility - these are just a few of the select, highly classified installations which governments prefer that we, the general public, remain steadfastly ignorant. These same governments have reasons for wanting to keep us in the dark. It is at these secret facilities that for decades, clandestine research has reportedly been undertaken into crashed UFOs, deceased alien entities, lethal viruses, biological warfare, mind-control experimentation, and much, much more.

No one has ever written the history of the Defense Department's most secret, most powerful, and most controversial military science R&D agency. In the first-ever history of the organization, New York Times best-selling author Annie Jacobsen draws on inside sources, exclusive interviews, private documents, and declassified memos to paint a picture of DARPA, or "the Pentagon's brain", from its Cold War inception in 1958 to the present.

Brilliant insight into DARPA
- By Vincent on 24-12-2015
Publisher's Summary
The witnesses are legion, scattered across the world and dotted through history, people who looked up and saw something impossible lighting up the night sky. What those objects were, where they came from, and who - or what - might be inside them is the subject of fierce debate and equally fierce mockery, so that most who glimpsed them came to wish they hadn't.
Most, but not everyone.
Among those who know what they've seen and are forever changed by it are a pilot, an heiress, a journalist, and a prisoner of war. From the waning days of the 20th century's final great war to the fraught fields of Afghanistan to the otherworldly secrets hidden amid Nevada's dusty neverlands - the truth that is out there will propel each of them into a labyrinth of otherworldly technology and the competing aims of those who might seek to prevent - or harness - these beings of unfathomable power. Because, as it turns out, we are not the only ones who can invent and build and destroy.
Featuring actual events and other truths drawn from sources within the military and intelligence community, Tom DeLonge and A. J. Hartley offer a tale at once terrifying, fantastical, and perhaps all too real.

Brings it ALL together.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, highly. Whether they are into the mass of conspiracy theories this book offers or not, it is an interesting listen on it's own merit.
What other book might you compare Chasing Shadows to and why?
Gosh, any book that references Area 51, Roswell, alien technology, and government coverups. This one has it all!
What about Paul Costanzo’s performance did you like?
Consistency, creativity and clarity. Had it all.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
The Truth is Here!
Any additional comments?
This is a very sharp debut of what looks to be a powerful series. Clearly derivative in some aspects as it deals with material that has been widely covered. That said, this is a unique and fascinating take on this, and I enjoyed it a great deal.
Looking forward to the rest of the series. Recommended!

Easily the best UFO related fiction I have read
Any additional comments?
This is easily the best UFO (UAP) related sci fi I have read, and to think it comes from a punk-rock rockstar. Cleverly mixes UFO lore with an engaging story that often hints at being based on real life events or situations. The only negative is the narrator does not do voices or put accents of the various nationalities of the characters. I recommend for any UFO (UAP) enthusiast, contemporary sci fi lover, or anyone who loved the X-files.

Amazing story worthy of standing neck to neck with Whitley Streiber
This book was written very well and I found it very similar to Whitley Streibers "The Greys" as far as the format of multiple plots of multiple people meeting to a similar plot. This book was very suspenseful and excited as a person very much into ufology. I will be listening to this book a few more times anticipating the next release from the authors!!!!! Instant classic!!!

Phony Clifhangers • Skip This One
I wonder why, when a key part of plot and characters are Brits, Audible hired a reader who can't even try a Brit accent? Paul Costanzo should stick to reading non-fiction: maybe cosmology text books? Or the history of dirt?
Of course this book pretends to be non-fiction fiction. Which is reeeeely unfortunate. That claim turns this plot into pretentious prattle. And the writers decided to break the story into tiny chapters, each ending in a Saturday matinee serial-like cliff hanger.
OKAY, it had me listening to the end, wondering where this writing pair were pretending to be going. Shouldn't have done that. There are too many good books to hear. Save your credit rather than buying a book that's just the first part of a novel that promises to go on forever... or more likely till people stop buying the things.
My money's on the latter.

A gripping story of conspiracy
This story contains all of the cliche conspiracy theory events but it really nails them terrifically. After all, why change a formula that is so intriguing and makes you want to read on?
The book is well written and the characters and story develop nicely throughout.
Without including spoilers, I would add that I would have rated the book 5 stars had it not gone a little too far overboard on the action/realms of 'realisticness' towards the end.
Would recommend and will definitely read the second instalment.

I really enjoyed listening to this and found it difficult to stop for essential things like work or sleep.
The only negative is that the authors seem to labor their descriptions - I don't need to know about every blade of grass or what it is thinking. Please pick the pace up a bit with volume two which I am eagerly awaiting 👍
