Truth has little to do with what people believe, but that profound statement did not enter Jessica Flannery's sixteen-year-old mind when she saw something outside her window one evening that she would never forget. She had no idea, until nearly twenty years later, that the event was only a prelude of the future. In her memoir There is No Edge, Jessica chronicles an abusive childhood where she attempts to make the best out of her life, knowing that nothing out of the ordinary ever happens in Garrison, Michigan-until the evening of December 6, 1968. Suddenly without warning as the interior of the house explodes into a brilliant white light, Jessica realizes she and her family have just witnessed a UFO sighting. As a series of belief-shattering events ensue that involve aliens, vision quests, shamanism, and spirit guides, Jessica learns that life is not what our government, church, schools, friends, family, or prevailing culture has taught and must reconcile the paradox in order to find happiness. With the help of hypnosis, Jessica explores an advanced civilization that provides clues to humanity's existence and eventually comes to the optimistic conclusion that her survival may not rest entirely in the hands of humankind.
In his first published book, independent UFO researcher Kenny Young details his early investigations into the phenomenon in Ohio and beyond. From his first experience during the great UFO wave of 1973 to mysterious claims of flying saucer reverse-engineering by the Monsanto Research Corporation, Young shares his personal thoughts on the strange state of affairs in one of our country's most visited UFO hot spots. Edited by S. Patrick Feeney.
Since the late 1870's Texans have been reporting UFO sightings in the sky...and as recently as 2008, a wave of UFO reports around Stephenville stirred up international attention in the Lone Star State. In Texas UFO Tales, noted Texas writer-historian Mike Cox and journalist Renee Roderick have selected seventeen stories from among the many hundreds of reports. Ranging from the mysterious to the mirthful, they make these stories come alive for readers. These two talented writers recount more than a hundred years of unexplainable sightings and events. Provable or not, no one can dispute that Texas has had its share of intriguing UFO sightings.
ALL THE INGREDIENTS FOR A HIGH STRANGENESS STEW Mix two parts science fiction with one part high-level government secrecy. Add a liberal helping of the paranormal. Then let Nick Redfern heat and serve. The result is far, far stranger than anything that you could ever begin to imagine. SCIENCE FICTION SECRETS presents some mind-bending answers to a number of highly intriguing and thought-provoking questions, including: -- Did the U.S. Government secretly assist Steven Spielberg in the production of his groundbreaking science fiction movies "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and "E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial"? -- Why were special agents of the FBI so deeply interested in the life, career, and activities of science fiction author Philip K. Dick (of "Blade Runner" fame)? -- How did "The X-Files" spin-off series "The Lone Gunmen" anticipate months in advance the terrible tragedy of 9-11? -- Why was the top brass of the U.S. Air Force so secretly interested in, and concerned by, the UFO-related tales of a relatively anonymous 1950s science fiction movie-maker who died in poverty in the early 1980s? -- Did a nightmarish scenario presented in one of H.G. Wells' novels prompt Soviet Premier Josef Stalin to clandestinely embark upon a secret and diabolical experiment designed to create a super race of monstrous, half-human half-ape soldiers? -- Has the military managed to successfully perfect human teleportation of the type that was most graphically and famously shown in "Star Trek" and "The Fly"?
Fiction is the safest place to hide a terrible truth, so that all may find it."-Marshall Masters" The core truth of UFOs and the existence of extraterrestrials is buried under a fog of highly-organized disinformation and propaganda. Its mantra is played time-and-again by mainstream media in the voice of an FAA flight controller complaining, "it's that Roswell crap again " Each time we laugh at that sound bite, we take one more step backwards from the real truth of Roswell. &Not what happened in 1947, but the fatal decisions made in the months following the crash. &This anthology for human freedom uses fiction-based-on-fact. It lasers through this engineered fog and lays bare the big picture truth. &That we're on the verge of becoming a slave species. Is there anything we can do about it? You bet there is &Freedom is not a right. It is a struggle, and winning this one is less about technology and more about self-determination. Is there something you can do about it today? &Yes, but first, know this. &Not all aliens are our friends. &Conversely, not all aliens are our enemies, and our friends have told how to preserve our freedom -- while there is still time. Today, the determined few will fight for our species. &Tomorrow, it will be an army inspired by their courage. Whether you stand up for freedom today or tomorrow, the battle book section of this anthology offers you a simple plan for making a real difference, real fast. www.AlienSecurity.info
In UFO Frontier, Cincinnati-based Ufologist Kenny Young's body of work is revealed including his investigations into Jackie Gleason and "The Pickled Men," pre-Roswell UFO crashes, the 1997 "Phoenix Lights," phantom blasts, mystery planes, weird creatures, stealth aerospace technology, crop circles, police and government UFO incidents, and private industry involvement. No crackpot flying saucer personality or organization is safe from his level-headed criticism. Editor and fellow paranormal researcher S. Patrick Feeney merges several of Young's unpublished works into this single anthology.
2009 reprint of 1956 First edition. When Prophecy Fails [1956] is a classic text in social psychology authored by Leon Festinger, Henry Riecken, and Stanley Schachter. It chronicles the experience of a UFO cult that believed the end of the world was at hand. In effect, it is a social and psychological study of a modern group that predicted the destruction of the world, and the adjustments made when the prediction failed to materialize. "The authors have done something as laudable as it is unusual for social psychologists. They espied a fleeting social movement important to a line of research they were interested in and took after it. They recruited a team of observers, joined the movement, and watched it from within under great difficulties until its crisis came and went. Their report is of interest as much for the method as for the substance."-Everett C. Hughes, The American Journal of Sociology.
In his first book of original research for four years, Jon Downes visits the Antillean island of Puerto Rico, to which he has led two expeditions - in 1998 and 2004. Together with noted researcher Nick Redfern he goes in search of the grotesque vampiric chupacabra, believing that it can - finally - be categorised within a zoological frame of reference rather than a purely paranormal one. Along the way he uncovers mystery after mystery, has a run in with terrorists, art historians, and even has his garden buzzed by a UFO. By turns both terrifying and funny, this remarkable book is a real tour de force by one of the world's foremost cryptozoological researchers.
The author's personal life story of true encounters with conventions' impossibilities. "Armed with photographs, diary entries and accounts from friends and family, Dogged Days is a fabulous book, written in Ellis' usual, witty, self-deprecating style and should take pride of place on anybody's bookshelf." ~ Steve Johnson reviewer for UFO Data magazine.
Charles A. A. Dellschau was born on June 4, 1830, in Brandenburg, Prussia, and immigrated to the United States in 1853, first settling in Texas. The historical record falls silent until 1860, when he is again shown living in Texas, where he marries Antonia Hilt the following year. The so-called "lost years" of the secretive Dellschau's life became a matter of controversy when his voluminous, illustrated notebooks surfaced nearly a half-century after his death in 1923 at age 93. Dellschau literally spent the last 20 years of his life closeted away in an attic apartment, creating a fantastical body of art that continues to fascinate. Indeed, today Dellschau is recognized as one of America's leading visionary artists, ranked alongside such world luminaries as Henry Darger and Adolf W l i. A single page of one of his notebooks now fetches thousands of dollars - and there are thousands of such pages, frenetic productivity being a hallmark of visionary artists. But Dellschau's work - consisting of ink and watercolor illustrations of fanciful flying machines to which he frequently pasted newspaper clippings, or "press blooms" as he called them - appears to tell a coherent story of the Sonora (California) Aero Club. Using an anti-gravity gas purportedly invented by one of its members, The Club allegedly turned out a series of experimental aircraft some 50 years before the Wright Brothers first took wing. A mere flight of artistic fancy? Or did Dellschau actually spend his lost years documenting wildly improbable inventions? Were the Aero Club's airships also responsible for many UFO sightings in America? "The Secrets of Dellschau: The Sonora Aero Club & The Airships of The 1800s, a True Story" is the first book-length account of Dellschau's life and work.
2009 IPPY Bronze Award Winner (Science) Finalist 2009 Next Generation Indie Book Awards (Social Change) "The Thinking Person's UFO Book" seeks to understand the pervasive denial surrounding unidentified flying objects. The team of Gordon Chism and Richard M. Dolan melds philosophical theory and historical scholarship to present an easy-to-read, entertaining, and informative work. Chism shares his personal UFO sighting and his struggle with peer group dismissal. His experience caused him to wonder why people so often reject new ideas and new perspectives of reality. The book weaves his conclusions together with researched accounts of worldwide sightings and the government and military response. A key source for this history was Dolan's 2002 volume, "UFOs and the National Security State." The authors recognize that our human centric view of the cosmos is not serving our planet well. A society based on falsehoods is not the way to move ahead. Acknowledging the truth of UFOs would be a step in the right direction. As Gordon Chism suggests, doing so might just bring us to a new "Age of Reason."
In 1951, a young boy in rural Georgia was visited and abducted by group of alien visitors from an unknown dimension. That contact continued over several decades and resulted in the birth of more than sixty hybrid children... and one of the most remarkable stories in all of UFO lore. LOVE IN AN ALIEN PURGATORY is the startling pictorial account of David Huggins' hidden life, as revealed in his own vivd and sometimes disturbing paintings. With commentary and text by UFO investigator Farah Yurdozu, David's story takes the reader into a world between two dimensions: a purgatory of hope, sex, fear and, ultimately, love.
An intimate account, in three interlocked themes, of one man's remarkably complex life. ART: Budd Hopkins is a nationally known Abstract Expressonist painter, with works in the collections of the Guggenheim, Whitney, and Metropolitan Museums, as well as Boston's Museum of Fine Arts and New York's Museum of Modern Art. In this revealing memoir, Hopkins explains the development of his work and describes with keen insight his friendships with senior artists such as Franz Kline, Mark Rothko, and Robert Motherwell, and the importance he finds in their work. LIFE: Beginning with his childhood and youth in West Virginia, a period that remains a central theme in this memoir, Hopkins goes on to discuss his life as a victim of polio during the pandemic of the 1930s, his complex relationship with his father, his participation in the famous "Cedar Bar years" of Abstract Expressionism, his adventures evading the attentions of several prominent members in New York's once closeted gay scene, and his summer life in Cape Cod. UFOs: Hopkins has also spent more than 30 years investigating UFO reports and is considered the world expert on UFO abductions. He has authored four seminal books on the subject, including "Missing Time" and the New York Times bestseller "Intruders," which was the subject of a CBS miniseries. Among the personal or professional relationships he writes about during his research are those with the astronomers Carl Sagan and J. Allen Hynek, the philanthropist Laurence Rockefeller, and the Harvard psychiatrist John Mack.
Are UFO's of man or are they from alien worlds? This book presents strong arguments that will steer you towards the truths. It contains detailed testimony of numerous UFO eyewitnesses including two frightening close encounters with many sightings occurring near military installations. It covers the massive UFO flap occurring in 1988 in New York's Hudson Valley that extended into the early 1990's. Intimate details are given on personal experiences recent as 2004. From hardcore facts to far-fetched concepts, the author has consumed and digested a phenomenal amount of information related to UFO's as well as the known and speculated science behind them. The far-flung, multi-faceted research conducted by the author over many years is summarized and expressed for all those with a thirst to know. This book contains new revelations about the UFO landing in North Hudson Park, New Jersey in 1975. Fiery opinions are expressed based on thought provoking historical knowledge, both published and shared amongst those who are fascinated by this subject.
The Physics of Encounter suggests explanations for paranormal phenomena. It describes the hidden force that generates consciousness and enables our mind to influence physical events. The proposed conceptual model shows that mind and matter are two sides of the same coin and introduces new interpretations of pivotal concepts into the public debate about science and religion. Written for readers of all backgrounds, the book illuminates the controversial views regarding the nature of our universe. Could our minds be imbedded in a field of cosmic consciousness? Was our universe created "from nothing" or is it a pulsating reality, expanding and collapsing? The book examines the issue of consciousness in the light of recently developed theories of vacum fluctuations and oscillating strings. It describes how "entanglements" with a hidden force give rise to such baffling phenomena as Near-Death-Experiences, UFOs, and backward causation. Last not least the book examines fears that have recently resurfaced in the media: could our entire earth be pulled into a black hole? Could the simulation of a big bang in an immensely powerful particle accelerator, like the one at the atomic research lab CERN near Geneva, create such a fateful event? As you read this, the earth is still circling around the sun. The book provides a framework for a rational discussion of fascinating and by no means trivial phenomena.
This book fully describes the fifth dimension and instructs the reader as to how they can travel to the fifth dimension to experience the past or future, parallel universes and even teleporting their physical body safely. Many case histories and easy-to-use exercises are included.
Donald Kehoe investigated many of the earliest encounters between the U.S. Air Force and UFOs. Keyhoe believed the Air Force was actively investigating these close encounters, and also came to the conclusion that the Earth has been visited by Beings from outer space for at least two and a half centuries. He also noted, that the sightings increased sharply with the coming of the Atomic Age after WWII. Using anecdotal evidence, Kehoe intimates that the government may have attained and adapted alien technology. Written in an engaging, narrative style, this book is a must have for any UFO library.
Where do UFOs really come from? Layne holds an inter-dimensional, etheric-based theory. He terms those from the other realms as Etherians and the UFOs themselves sometimes appear as living creatures, referred to as aeroforms. Much of the information was corroborated by the scientific work of Trevor James Constable or came directly from intelligences channeled through Mark Probert, the greatest psychic medium of his time. Do not discount channeled material until you read this book. Layne was scientific in his approach until hearing Probert's amazing messages, which independently verifies his research. Covers propulsion systems, vibrational frequencies, and the sudden appearance of these craft more accurately than most scientific books on this subject have ever done.
This book explores the science of extraterrestrial life, with a particular emphasis on the existence of intelligent alien civilizations. It introduces the reader to the basic chemistry associated with life on Earth and describes the planetary and stellar environments that allow us to exist. It also discusses the likelihood of alien life developing at other locations in our galaxy, along with the possibility that we will meet or communicate with them. This book is suitable for use as a text in an introductory "Life in the Universe" course.
"When Saucers Came to Earth" is the very first book in the English language entirely devoted to the story of UFO sightings that have occurred in Italy. Sightings of a special kind. The landings of "flying saucers" in the 1940s and '50s. These were extraordinary encounters involving ordinary people, in a world that has ceased to exist. Begin a fascinating journey back to distant 1912, when an Italian farmer met up with a ghostly light on a foggy night in the northern Italian flatlands; and travel to the early morning of New Year's Eve 1954, when an odd-looking flying saucer with two "pilots" observed an old bell-ringer. Over 100 amazing saucer landings are described in detail, all featuring sources and critiquing comments aimed at a better understanding of the follow-ups to - and the possible explanations for - every incident. Hundreds of maps, sketches, pieces of artwork, and newsclippings make this book a visual tour of the early years of the "flying saucer" phenomenon and myth.
A scintillating commentary on stepping into the future for us all. From beyond our Galaxy, the Andromedans have extended the hand of friendship and knowledge to help shepherd us through Earth changes, into a golden age of peace and conscious awareness. They show us a way beyond the mire of war and conflict into a world where love and respect for each other is the driving force, and equality is our birthright. Some of the topics they cover in telepathic discussion: Climate change, anti-gravity, a miracle polymer that will change our society; Neutralizing nuclear waste, the effect of our Sun on Earth, how to use sensory telepathic communication, advanced energy points and human sensing devices in the body. The ultimate power of the heart, having personal control over health and emotions; the birth of our universe, light and dark matter, and how to deal with fear in our everyday lives. What more could we ask for than to be given the knowledge that we need to transform our society? Can we remove our judgments and with open hearts find the courage to learn from them? Can we also find the best in ourselves to offer them? As Earth is the only home for all of us, let us begin human co-operation by recognizing our similarities and honoring our unique differences. |
