Publisher's summary

In the early morning hours of March 28, 2011, Charles and Helene Fontaine experienced something that shattered their beliefs about the nature of reality.

One evening in 1981, Connie J Cannon was on I-75 with her young son, en route to their new home in Florida, when they suddenly found themselves on a military base, with a man in uniform holding a gun to her head as three Grays stood nearby.

In 1979, Diane Fine was on her way from upstate New York to Vermont to see an obstetrics specialist for her high risk pregnancy, and experienced two hours of missing time. When she was finally examined at the clinic, she was told wasn't pregnant.

In 1970, pilot Bruce Gernon was chased by something through the Bermuda Triangle and he has been talking about it ever since - to UFO Hunters, the Discovery Channel, National Geographic, the History Channel, the Sci-Fi channel, and all their foreign counterparts.

These individuals have never met. But they share something significant. In 2003, a Roper Organization survey revealed that 33 million Americans may be abductees. Aliens in the Backyard is their story.

Actually this is one of the best UFO books out there

This book stayed in my wish list for quite a while, as the cover I found unappealing and I had not heard of the author. But I’ve read them all, Mack, Hopkins, Keel, Dolan, Vallee, etc, and this turned out to be one of my favorites. More of a collection of personal accounts than anything, it is written extremely well and very compelling. I don’t leave many reviews but had to leave one to steer fellow UFO enthusiasts toward this one. Get it!

Just fun good information for believers

Enjoyed the narrative and find it just interesting to hear others perception of their experiences!

Loved it

Any additional comments?

This is a journey that you will not soon forget. Very much worth the effort. The narration was first-class.

Holy moly....

I think it was well narrated, really interesting, as well as eerily creepy encounters. just goes to show, how much unexplained situation's arise each day.

This was certainly interesting....

I thought that the encounters were interesting. However, this has some psychic info, and the Bible forbids that.

Some interesting abduction I had heard about

This was an interesting book. I have some issues with the psychic stuff towards the end. Over all, an interesting book

Great listen!

If you love ufology this is a great listen. Loves the way the book was later out and the narrator had a nice pleasant 60 minutes type of voice.

The proof in the pudding

This books was really good, the narrator was soothing.
It was the perfect contrast of spooky scenes with truth and explanation behind them.
If you don't believe in aliens you will now.....

So much deeper and well researched than expected!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

A fascinating subject ...

I was fascinated by the description of this book, and once I started listening, the fascination continued. Rob and Trish MacGregor have written an excellent account of their exploration of alien encounters and alien abduction. Partly because there is little to no obvious judgment on their part on whether the encounters actually happened, I was able to reserve judgment and just listen to what they had discovered. They have an excellent ability to simply describe the events and let the reader decide for themselves what has really happened. I started the book feeling fairly skeptical, for although I absolutely admit to the probability of “otherness”, I have not had much contact with or done much research into this subject, and skeptical is usually where I start. By the end of the book, however, the descriptions of encounters by varied individuals and couples had me shaking my head and wondering … could it really be? The descriptions were clear and pulled me right along, and it was amazing how much commonality could be found between them. And synchronicity – how did I miss this word all my life? I had to go look up the definition, and then I was shouting “YES!” because I have felt the synchronicity in the world so many times without knowing what to call it. I learned quite a bit from this book, and consider it well worth the read for anyone wishing to know something about the subject without a “hard sell” approach. I thought the narrator, Kevin Pierce, was excellent for this type of book. His style was calm, clear, low key, and fairly slow, which worked very well for this subject matter. I probably wouldn't have enjoyed that type of delivery for a suspense novel, but for this one I thought it was perfect. The book translated quite well to audio, except for one complaint. I occasionally became confused as to who was speaking, the narrator or the person having the experience. I liked the style of writing with a main narrator throughout and various people’s experiences interwoven into the story, but a few more “he said,” or “she said” would have been helpful for the audio version. (I never thought I would say that!) But it was a minor complaint in the overall reading of an excellent book by a very appropriate narrator.
