really liked it

The 37th parallel covers the weird phenomenon that happens along the 37th latitude line in the United states. From cattle mutilation to ufo sightings to mysterious noises, all matter of odd things happen along this line.

This story mostly covers Chuck Zukowski's beginnings as a hobbies, into a full blown researcher. This book shares some of the events he's investigated or been apart of, and how being interested in UFO's impacted his career, family, and relationships in general. This also covers Robert Biggalow, billionaire Paranormal enthusiasts. The two stories intertwine more than expected.

Honestly, the real hero of this story is Chucks wife, Tammy. She bargains new home furniture in exchange for him buying ufo devices or going on investigations. She takes on A SECOND JOB to support the family so he can go off on UFO hunts. Chucks offical profession is making microchips?! He should be able to support his own family. Honestly, they must really be in love.

I dont think this book would convince anyone who doesn't already believe in this stuff to believe in it. It covers alot of conspiracies, which people who don't believe will dismiss. It's informative to those interested in weird phenomenon to see how location is important.

I own this book hard copy, but actually listened to the audio book. The writing format was more appropriate for listening to than reading.
