Why are we here? What is life? What is the universe and how do we
fit in? The questions mankind has pondered for centuries are
finally explained in a way we can all understand. The structure of
the Universe, the way frequency affects your life, the nature of
time, and the six rules that govern true reality are only part of
the amazing truths this book explores. Alex brings the reader in an
extraordinary journey of discovery. From extraterrestrials to the
God Force, Alex explains why the universe is as it is, and what
role you play in it. Lessons is a powerful, concise, and
enlightening book and will change the way you look at the world
around you.
For thousands of years, it was the visionaries and writers who
argued that we cannot be alone-that there is intellegent life in
the universe. Now, with the discoveries of the Hubble Telescope,
data emerging from Mars, and knowledge about life at the extremes,
scientists are taking up where they left off. Amir Aczel, author of
Fermat's Last Theorem, pulls together everyting science has
discovered, and mixes in proabability theory, to argure the case
for the existence of intelligent life beyond this planet.
Probability 1 is an extraordinary tour de force in which the author
draws on cosmology, math, and biology to tell the rollicking good
story of scientists tackling important scientific questions that
help answer this fundamental question. What is the probability of
intelligent life in the universe? Read this book, and you'll be
convinced, by the power of the argument and the excitement of the
science.
A journey into the most secret place in America A story of secrecy, suspicion, and conspiracy A history of a place that does not legally exist
Dreamland zooms in on Area 51--the nearly four million acres of Nevada airspace that has been a base for experimental military aircraft, the fount of UFO rumors, and the alleged site of alien insurrection. How this real-life legend came to exist is Phil Patton's tale. He explores the mystery and fantasy surrounding the place, peeks over the edge of paranoia, and tracks strange objects in the air above this country of the mind. He visits spies and counterspies, test pilots and secret agents, and tunnels into the subcultures of true believers and conspiracy buffs. Reviewers have applauded Dreamland as "brilliant," "fascinating," "weird, wonderful, sometimes spooky," "curiously epic, frequently humorous, and always entertaining." Dreamland is a novelistic tour de force that makes us all rethink our convictions about American know-how--and alien inventiveness.
The power of imagination, group psychology, and the concept of
"fantasy prone personalities," are explored by Bartholomew and
Howard as they probe the history of how UFO stories are spread. The
impact of "collective delusion" enhanced by the media can be
dangerous, leaving great pain and tragedy in its wake. Included are
detailed descriptions of the United States airship flap of 1896-97;
the imaginary sightings of Thomas Edison's "electric star" of the
late 1800s; Canada's phantom balloon wave of 1896-97; the New
Zealand zeppelin scare of 1909; the British UFO panic of 1912-13;
phantom German air raids and spy missions over Canada, New York,
Delaware, New Hampshire, and Africa during World War I; Sweden's
ghost rocket crisis of 1946. These are all reports of UFOs before
the famed Roswell incident and the emergence of flying saucers
since 1947.
The authors examine collective behavior, fallible human perception,
deviance, religion, popular culture, history, the role of the
media, and relationships to the paranormal. From alien contact with
humans to well-organized cults, UFOs and Alien Contact is gripping,
humorous, and at times horrifying.
For years, the public has been led to believe that the US
government and the military have tried to cover up the recovery of
a crashed saucer and its alien occupants from near Roswell, New
Mexico. This belief has been fostered by numerous books, newspaper
articles, TV shows, and movies released since the incident of 1947.
After many years of investigation, Philip J. Klass (the Sherlock
Holmes of UFOlogy), has uncovered hard evidence that there is
indeed a cover-up, 'but not by the US government'. This is based on
solid evidence contained in once 'secret' and 'top secret' Air
Force and CIA documents whose contents were intentionally withheld
by authors of books and articles on Roswell, as well as by those
who produced TV shows on the subject. Here, Klass discloses what
really crashed on the Brazel ranch. He also reveals serious flaws
in the tales told by alleged witnesses, some of whom have
drastically changed their accounts.
This irreverent, satirical look at the never-ending flying saucer
controversy lampoons the full spectrum of the UFO "invasion," from
the ancient astronaut theories to the evolution of today's alien
abduction "epidemic."
From the first chapter, "Wheelbarrows of the Gods," readers see how
a close look at prehistoric myths from around the world reveal
common threads in each account. McHugh relates how Noah and his
sons inadvertently caused aliens to flood the Earth for forty days
and nights; how extraterrestrials gave Nostradamus his power, and
how they influenced the success of the 1969 New York Mets. He
traces the evolution of the alien abduction epidemic and offers a
tongue-in-cheek quiz to determine if you have been abducted without
realizing it.
For centuries, from the earliest legends of the man on the moon,
mankind has fantasized and speculated about other life in the
universe. With the discovery of biochemical evolution - which
showed how life could evolve out of simple compounds - those
speculations took on a new dimension. Most scientists now believe
that it is possible that there is other intelligent life in the
universe.
What are the possibilities of our making contact with ETIs in the
profound vastness of space (a problem, as Isaac Asimov notes, too
easily dismissed by cultists)? What will be the consequences to our
images of ourselves and our world of the first proven contact with
beings from another planet, since they are likely to be of superior
intelligence? Could we still believe in the value of life as we
live it? How would it affect mankind's religions, both Western and
Eastern? Would it in fact mean, as Arthur C. Clarke has said, an
end to mankind's childhood?
These and other questions are explored in Extraterrestrial
Intelligence - from the most practical issues, such as how the news
of contact should be handled, to the most exciting and troubling
questions of philosophy, religion, and science.
Extraterrestrial Intelligence begins the search for a cosmic
context for mankind. It leads the way in reflecting on the next
stage in our gradual self-discovery.
Is life on earth a "cosmic joke"-- a unique, one-time occurrence?
Or is life a "cosmic imperative"? Scientists and governments are
vigorously searching for signs of life in the universe, but what
would (and should) we do if they meet with success? Celebrate?
Panic?
Paul Davies ponders the many ramifications of contact with
extraterrestrial life, giving the general reader the latest and
most scientifically sound thinking on this hot topic in the field
of astronomy. As fascinating and readable as any science fiction
novel, "Are We Alone?" delves deep into profound ideas in
mathematics and philosophy, taking the layperson on an interstellar
journey through issues in quantum theory, mind and matter,
consciousness and time. Readers will be glued to the page as they
learn why Davies believes that "they're out there" -- and what that
implies.
Twenty-eight years ago, Erich von Daniken first presented his
theory of alien contact with the ancient world - a theory so
incredible, yet so logical and convincing, that it has become part
of a wide-ranging debate that continues to this day. His claims
that an alien race helped create the pyramids of Egypt were based
upon the ruins themselves. And it is these ruins that now provide
researchers with a never-ending source of clues - new discoveries,
new revelations, new evidence that Earth was indeed colonized by an
alien race... New research showing that the location and design of
the pyramids were uniquely fit for preservation - something the
Egyptians couldn't possibly have known; remains of the ships built
by the Pharaohs and buried with them for travel in the afterlife -
imitations of the ships they saw used by men from the sky; the most
recent discoveries - hidden chambers and passageways, one of which
ends at an ancient door. And behind the door is... the unknown;
prehistoric bones that prove the existence of a worldwide cult that
deformed children's skulls in imitations of the "gods" they had
seen; and new interpretations of ancient writings - and new
speculations on ancient mysteries.
What remains of past inhabitants of the jungles, lost cities,
underground and underwater structures and their civilizations? The
reminders of the Ancients are everywhere. They are preserved in
remnants in archaeology. They are found in stories from mythology.
Who were these people? Aliens, humans, or myths? How did they rise,
fall, and will they rise again? From pyramids and underground
bunkers to watery graves and ancient astronauts, Lost Civilizations
explores the archaeological evidence left behind by more than 70 of
these ancient civilizations.
In Ancient Aliens on Mars II, New York Times bestselling author
Mike Bara returns the reader to Mars to examine the enduring
mysteries of the Red Planet. Building on the case made in Ancient
Aliens on Mars and using data acquired from sophisticated new
scientific instruments like the Mars Odyssey THEMIS infrared
imager, Bara shows that the region of Cydonia overlays a vast
underground city full of enormous structures and devices that may
still be operating. He peels back the layers of mystery to show
images of tunnel systems, temples and ruins, and exposes the
sophisticated NASA conspiracy designed to hide them and discredit
the researchers that discovered these exotic ruins. Bara also
tackles the enigma of Mars' hollowed out moon Phobos, and exposes
evidence from over 30 years of observations that it is artificial.
Long-held myths about Mars, including claims that it is protected
by a sophisticated UFO defense system, are examined and
illuminated. Data from the Mars rovers Spirit, Opportunity and
Curiosity is examined; everything from fossilized plants to
mechanical debris is exposed in images taken directly from NASA's
own archives. Finally, the author offers his take on the secret
history of the Red Planet and what happened to the highly advanced
civilization that once flourished there.

INSIDE EARTH Proof Positive: 1. Aliens Have Established Underground
Bases Around The Planet. 2. Ancient Tunnel System Has Existed On
Earth Since Time Of Atlantis. 3. Entrance Ways Can Be Found In Many
Major Cities. 4. Some Government and Military Officials Have Taken
The Side Of The Aliens. The UFO enigma is more complex than
generally believed. Though it is commonly thought that space ships
are arriving here from other solar systems, there is now evidence
that several groups of ETs have established bases beneath our very
feet. Here are bizarre stories about underground bases at Mt.
Shasta, California; Brown Mountain, North Carolina; Dulce, New
Mexico; Groom Lake, Nevada; Superstition Mountain Rain, Phoenix,
Arizona; South and North Poles; as well as in the mountains of the
Andes, and the jungles of Brazil. Here also, are the first hand
reports of those individuals who have been abducted by aliens, who
have survived genetic experiments at these locations. These are the
facts that everyone should be informed of -- regardless of how
disturbing the truth may turn out to be
Authors Lawrence Fawcett and Barry J. Greenwood reveal in this fascinating, thought-provoking book, based on the government's own research and internal files, what they have learned about: UFO's as a threat to national security. UFO sightings at military bases in the United States, North Africa, and the Middle East. The cover-up role of the FBI and the CIA. The presidents, legislators, astronauts, military leaders, and international scientific authorities who are on record as in favor of renewed investigation of UFO's.
Alien Abduction. Imagine getting into your car and driving to a
place you know. But for some reason, you end up at an unintended
location. You see something unusual. Then you forget all about it.
An hour or so passes. And now you don't remember any of it.There's
a control factor in abduction cases that allows aliens to abduct
any human or control any nonhuman object from any location in the
world without human permission or knowledge-for purposes unknown.
Then victims are returned to Earth without memory of the
experience. Discover what science is learning about the alien
presence and the way they manipulate space and time. Learn the
facts about implants, mind control, memory, and why aliens are
here. Find out why some can see UFOs and some can't, what a typical
abduction scenario is like, and what you can do to prevent being
taken. Foreword by Kathleen Marden, UFO investigator and niece of
Betty and Barney Hill, the first recorded abductees.

In June 2021, U.S. National Intelligence publicly admitted that
UFOs are real physical objects and that they have been penetrating
restricted military airspace since at least 2004. Despite this
bombshell and further recent admissions by the Pentagon, the
identity of these mysterious craft remains unknown. This book
brings the full scientific method to bear on this enigmatic issue.
Written by Daniel Coumbe, a former research scientist at the Niels
Bohr Institute in Copenhagen with a PhD in theoretical particle
physics, this book defines one of the first scientifically credible
studies of UFOs in the modern era. Anomaly reveals new results
derived from radar, optical sensors, and scientific instruments,
rather than speculating on unreliable eyewitness testimony. This
scientific approach provides the reader with clear and reliable
answers, something that is desperately needed in the murky field of
UFOs.
