In DIMENSIONS, the first volume of a trilogy, Dr. Jacques Vallee reexamines the historical record that led to the modern UFO phenomenon and to the belief in alien contact. He then tackles the enigma of abduction reports, which come from various times and various countries, as well as the psychic and spiritual components of the contact experience. In the last portion of the book, he notes the factors that inhibit research into the phenomenon--the triple coverup and political motivations--and concludes that the extraterrestrial theory is simply not strange enough to explain the facts.

What if the "aliens" are not from other planets? In THE CRYPTOTERRESTRIALS, Mac Tonnies proposes that at least some accounts of alien visitation can be attributed to a humanoid species indigenous to the Earth, a sister race that has adapted to our numerical superiority by developing a surprisingly robust technology. At the same time, this groundbreaking work attempts to reconcile the mythological and contemporary accounts of "little people" into a coherent picture. "For too long, we've called them 'aliens, ' assuming that we represent our planet's best and brightest," writes Tonnies. "Maybe that's exactly what they want us to think."

With more than 130 years of UFO activity, New Mexico has produced some of the worlds most famous and influential UFO encounters. In this first book to present the complete history of extraterrestrial encounters in the Land of Enchantment, read about the Farmington UFO wave, the landing at Socorro, new developments concerning the Roswell crash, and the governments struggle to deal with an unknown presence hovering over sensitive atomic installations and military bases. Sightings, landings, UFO car chases, face-to-face encounters, abductions, and UFO crashes (of which New Mexico has had more than any other state) are featured along with encounters documented by the military (including Project Bluebook). Other uniquely New Mexican mysteries such as cattle mutilations and the phenomenon known as the Taos Hum are explored in depth. Eyewitness testimony and startling photographs will leave you wondering about the skies over New Mexico and the strange things that frequent them.

Extraterrestrial life has been a philosophical issue that has not been high on the priority list for scientific study. Since the UFO issue revolves around possible alien visitors, however, it is essential to determine if extraterrestrial life could exist and, if so, whether it could visit our world. In From "Adam to Omega," author A. R. Roberts provides a comprehensive compendium of UFO phenomena, followed by his interpretations of how those phenomena relate to religious and historical texts.

Roberts provides a commonsense approach and a logical evaluation of the most credible evidence available-evidence compiled by reliable researchers and investigators. He examines a plethora of questions:

Are UFOs real?

Were extraterrestrials involved with ancient civilizations?

Are aliens abducting people and performing strange tests and examinations?

Does the Bible reveal evidence of extraterrestrial visitation?

Did the US Air Force really retrieve crashed UFOs and alien bodies?

Are the military, the government, and NASA hiding the truth?

Is there evidence of an alien agenda?

From Adam to Omega presents thought-provoking and interesting information as it examines the evidence to determine what is fact and what is fiction. Roberts offers a unique perspective on the UFO mystery.

On June 24th, 1947, a private pilot reported numerous dazzling objects rushing through the sky above Mount Rainier in Washington state. It was the start of the current UFO phenomena, one of the country's most perplexing and persistent mysteries. Within a few weeks, hundreds of sightings of flying saucers were reported to news media. Surprising reports of a UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico further added to the mystery that July. Since then, UFOs have sparked a slew of incredible claims and speculations. This is a sober and honest history of America's first major saucer craze, based on many sources including previously classified government records. The book cuts through decades of mystique and confusion, beginning with the 1947 UFO wave and ending with the launch of Project Blue Book in 1952. Balanced and comprehensive, this history provides background, social context and other tools for reframing perceptions of a controversial subject.

The idea of aliens and UFOs has always played a crucial role in human history. Regardless of the ridicule this mind-set inspires in skeptics, the intense speculation and debate on this topic continues to intrigue around the world. Hundreds have shared detailed personal experiences of contact with these beings or crafts, recounting a wide variety of alien interaction with our world and its peoples. Yet the official explanations-swamp gas, weather balloons, and more-just don't match up with these reports.

"The "Nonsense" Papers" anthology explores these controversial and contemporary issues, considering a wide variety of interrelated topics: UFOs Military "black projects" based on alien technology Former NASA missions (and the possible secrets they hold) An alternative view on organized religious cults (and how their origin by our creators from the stars) Environmental issues, including climate change Time travel Testimonies from those who offer insight on alien contact The future and fate of our planet after 2012

This collection also focuses on humanity and culture, examining where we are headed if we continue down our current path. It questions those who plan to "save" humanity by making exaggerated claims and impossible goals and challenges us to analyze and examine ourselves and our society as a whole. It implores humans to use common sense, rationality, and logic as our present life seems void of feelings, dreams, hopes, and desires.

Overall, the only way humans can save these precious ideologies is in the discovery of ourselves.

On a dark winter's night in December 1980 two US airmen who were security guards at a USAF base in Suffolk, England, encountered a mysterious unidentified craft with flashing lights that had landed in the forest outside the perimeter. When the story got out, despite a cover-up and official denials, there were many who saw it as clear evidence our planet was being visited by UFOs from outer space. Skeptics who felt sure that must be a false explanation rushed to offer more earthly suggestions, or to insist the story was quite untrue and the airmen were lying. But they weren't! Years after this strange incident, the actual identity of the "UFO" has become plain and also the purpose for which this weapon was devised. It was needed as a result of an international crisis. Now, author George Wingfield examines the background of these events and also other similar unexplained sightings and encounters with UFOs during that era.

This awesome, true-life story begins with an unusual visit, by two most mysterious, yet very warm mannered, well-acknowledged catholic priests who enrolled in an astrology class I was teaching at Temple University

We were created on the outer edge of the universe, and powerful ancients continue to watch us from that home far away. The ancients use 100% of their brains, which enables them to perform fantastic feats no earthly creature could imagine. Many years ago, these ancient beings altered the human DNA, removing our capability to use 100% of our brains, therefore keeping us forever beneath their reign and keeping them forever safe from human attack. Despite the lessened use of our brains, the human race has developed high-tech radar devices that travel into space, searching for intelligent life. The ancients have become aware of this technology; they are now concerned that humans have advanced enough to bring war. In an effort to avoid the inevitable, the ancients are coming to Earth to destroy the human race. Extermination is eminent, until Earth connects with its "sister planet." Together, the humans must fight back against this ancient power that seeks to destroy. The Outer Edge is not merely science fiction; it is an authoritative vision of our living universe. These fictional tribulations have direct and irrefutable links to science. And so the question remains: is science fiction truly fiction at all, or does it peer into the depths of fact and foreshadow devastation yet to come? Decipher the true riddles of the universe with The Outter Edge.
