This no-nonsense guide to one of our most enduring mysteries
presents a short history of the strangest encounters, looks
carefully at explanations from the blunt to the truly bizarre,
offers insights into the strongest evidence that we are being
visited by beings from another world and sources the best sceptical
arguments that it can all be explained rationally. Concise,
balanced and - occasionally - hilarious this is a story that has as
much to tell you about the human race as it does about aliens.
Written in the late 1950s at the height of popular fascination with
UFO's, Flying Saucers is the great psychologist's brilliantly
prescient meditation on the phenomenon that gripped the world. A
self-confessed sceptic in such matters, Jung was nevertheless
intrigued, not so much by their reality or unreality, but by their
psychic aspect. He saw flying saucers as a modern myth in the
making, to be passed down the generations just as we have received
such myths from our ancestors. In this wonderful and enlightening
book Jung sees UFO's as 'visionary rumours', the centre of a
quasi-religious cult and carriers of our technological and
salvationist fantasies. 40 years later, with entire religions based
on the writings of science fiction authors, it is remarkable to see
just how right he has proved to be.
The debate about UFO's has raged for as long as people have stared
into the heavens. Yet to this day the scientific establishment has
steadfastly refused to engage in systematic study of what they are.
This book examines why.
Randles and Warrington establish by detailed case histories of many
UFO sightings that unexplained phenomena certainly exist. Picking
their way expertly through the maze of misinformation and fantasy,
they examine the possible explanations, rejecting the 'standard'
view- that UFO's are alien spaceships- in favour of more
scientifically based and testable ideas. They suggest ways in which
scientific standard should be applied and consider the fruits that
such enquiries might yield- and the potential consequences for
mankind of explaining the hitherto inexplicable.
Discover an in-depth, case-by-case analysis that proves the
existence of extraterrestrials. Beginning with the Aurora Crash in
1897 and the famous battle of Los Angeles in 1942, this book tells
the definitive stories and provides impeccable documentation for
these extraordinary encounters. Learn whether the bodies recovered
at Roswell were test dummies or extraterrestrials. Explore the
truth behind the military s peculiar response to the Phoenix
lights. Read about the Petit-Rechain photograph of the Belgian UFO
wave, the Lubbock Lights photograph, and the Mariana film footage.
You will explore lesser known incidents such as the shutdown of
China s Xiaoshan Airport as well as the famous Tic Tac encounter.
Additionally, Evidence of Extraterrestrials details the influence
of six government UFO programs on the quest for disclosure.
This book introduces the reader to the wonders of Mars, covering
all aspects from our past perceptions of the planet through to the
latest knowledge on its history, its surface processes such as
impact cratering, volcano formation, and glaciation, and its
atmosphere and climate. In addition, a series of ten intriguing
open issues are considered in a more advanced way. These include
such thought-provoking questions as What turned off the planet's
magnetic field?, Why are the northern and southern hemispheres so
different?, What was the fate of the once abundant water?, and Is
there, or was there, life on Mars? Numerous original figures,
unavailable elsewhere, reproduce details of images from Viking,
CTX, MOC, HiRISE, THEMIS, and HRSC. The book will appeal especially
to general readers interested in planetary sciences, astronomy,
astrogeology, and space exploration and to students of Earth
Sciences and Natural and Environmental Sciences. The higher-level
material on the remaining mysteries of Mars will also be of
interest to astrogeologists and other researchers.
Get the straight, scientific story on things like astrology,
ghosts, spontaneous human combustion, psychic surgery, and ESP. You
hear about these fantastic happenings every day on television and
in the supermarket tabloids. Is any of this true or are they making
it all up? While many people tune in just for laughs, plenty of
readers believe their outrageous claims - often because they simply
don't have a clear notion of what science really is. So how do you
figure out what constitutes real science and what is nonsense?
"Quantum Leaps in the Wrong Direction" carefully deconstructs five
examples of pseudoscience - UFOs, out-of-body experiences,
astrology, creationism, and ESP - and gives easy recipes to test
other dubious notions so that you can tell what lies in the realm
of real science and what more properly deserves the tag of
pseudoscience. This second edition of "Quantum Leaps in the Wrong
Direction" will include a brand new chapter on alternative
medicine, up-to-date links for reliable skeptical websites,
organizations and meetings, and a fully updated additional reading
section.
Featuring more than 160 colour photos and illustrations, Erich
reveals the secrets of 'impossible buildings' in Europe and the
Mediterranean region, describes 'crazy facts' and relentlessly
exposes false doctrines."
Reveals the ongoing alien manipulation of humanity and how we can
break free Cuneiform texts found on clay plates in Mesopotamia tell
us about an extraterrestrial race, called the Anunnaki, who came
from space to exploit our planet. Through genetic manipulation,
they created modern humans from existing earthly life forms to
serve them as slaves. They physically left our planet millennia
ago, but as Jan Erik Sigdell reveals, their influence and control
over humanity is still pervasive and significant. Sigdell explains
how the Anunnaki have maintained invisible surveillance over us as
well as control over how humanity develops, setting limits on our
evolution and holding back our development by means of manipulation
and catastrophes, including the deluge immortalized in the Bible
and many other ancient myths. He shows how they still manipulate
our politics and affairs via secret societies, such as the
Illuminati, and the political elite, such as the Bilderberg Group.
Examining ancient descriptions of the Anunnaki as entities that
resemble winged reptiles or amphibians, the author also explores
their diet and how they feed off blood and the energies given off
by lower life forms, such as humans, when they are expressing
extreme negative emotions, having sex, or dying. * Explores how the
Anunnaki have maintained invisible surveillance over us and how
they control our development through religion, secret societies,
and catastrophes * Reveals how they feed off our energies and how
this ability has allowed them to remain here on Earth as
multidimensional entities, enforcing their control invisibly *
Explains how they established religion to control us and how
Gnostic Christianity--which came from Christ and not the
Anunnaki--offers a way out of their matrix of control
On 28 May 1955, an announcement was made by The Cosmic Masters,
through the unique Yogic abilities of the author, that a Spacecraft
would come into orbit of the Planet Earth for a number of days each
year to send great spiritual Healing powers to ALL people on Earth.
More than half a century since Roswell, UFOs have been making
headlines once again. On December 17, 2017, the New York
Times ran a front-page story about an approximately five-year
Pentagon program called the Advanced Aerospace Threat
Identification Program. The article hinted, and its sources clearly
said in subsequent television interviews, that some of the ships in
question couldn’t be linked to any country. The implication, of
course, was that they might be linked to other solar systems. The
UFO community—those who had been thinking about, seeing, and
analyzing supposed flying saucers (or triangles or chevrons) for
years—was surprisingly skeptical of the revelation. Their
incredulity and doubt rippled across the internet. Many of the
people most invested in UFO reality weren’t really buying it. And
as Scoles did her own digging, she ventured to dark,
conspiracy-filled corners of the internet, to a former paranormal
research center in Utah, and to the hallways of the Pentagon. In
They Are Already Here we meet the bigwigs, the scrappy upstarts,
the field investigators, the rational people, and the unhinged
kooks of this sprawling community. How do they interact with each
other? How do they interact with “anomalous phenomena”? And how
do they (as any group must) reflect the politics and culture of the
larger world around them? We will travel along the Extraterrestrial
Highway (next to Area 51) and visit the UFO Watchtower, where
seeking lights in the sky is more of a spiritual quest than a
“gotcha” one. We meet someone who, for a while believes
they may have communicated with aliens. Where do these alleged
encounters stem from? What are the emotional effects on the
experiencers? Funny and colorful, and told in a way that doesn’t
require one to believe, Scoles brings humanity to an often derided
and misunderstood community. After all, the truth is out there . .

This true account of the aliens who invaded the town of Point
Pleasant, West Virginia - first published in 1975 - has been made
into a major motion picture starring Richard Gere, Laura Linney and
Alan Bates. For thirteen months Point Pleasant was plagued by a
dark terror that culminated in a major disaster. Unearthly noises
and ghostly lights in the sky gave way to mutilated animals, winged
monsters, weird flying machines and worst of all, the fearsomely
demonic "Bird" - the Mothman. The story reads like a novel - but
every single word of it is true and fully documented by john A.
Keel, who spent a year in Point Pleasant where he saw and
experienced many of the stranger manifestations personally.
In whose genetic image were we made? From his first book The 12th
Planeton, Zecharia Sitchin has asserted that the Bible's Elohim,
who said "Let us fashion The Adam in our image and after our
likeness," were the gods of Sumer and Babylon - the Anunnaki who
had come to Earth from their planet Nibiru. The Adam, he wrote, was
genetically engineered by adding Anunnaki genes to those of an
existing hominid, some 300,000 years ago. Then, according to the
Bible, intermarriage took place: "There were giants upon the Earth"
who took Adam's female offspring as wives, giving birth to "heroes
of renown." With meticulous detail, Sitchin shows that these were
the demigods of Sumerian and Babylonian lore. Are we then,
all of us, descendants of demigods? In this crowning oeuvre,
Zecharia Sitchin proceeds step-by-step through a mass of ancient
writings and artifacts, leading the reader to the stunning Royal
Tombs of Ur.
