I love to read Timothy Green Beckley's books late at night, and that goes especially for this one. Each story gets better than the last one! He is one of the most underrated authors of our time. Mr. Beckley ranks right up there with John Keel, and Brad Steiger. His stories about UFO's and their occupants always run chills up my spine! He is one of the few investigators that visits the scene(s) and knows how to report it in a way that that is truly classic. I would love to see him write movie scripts for Science Fiction!

ARE FLYING SAUCERS ON THE ATTACK? I have been interested in the UFO mystery for about twenty years after I had a sighting of my own of three disc shaped objects manovering in the sky above me. Outside of Brad Steiger -- who hasnt written a lot on the subject lately -- my favorite UFO authority has to be Tim Beckley (who edited the popular publication UFO UNIVERSE for l2 years and now edits the Conspiracy Journal on the www). Beckley's works are often thought of being sensationalistic by some of the more conservative members of the UFO community who think its scientific to try and track down lights in the sky...while Beckley is more interested in the weird things UFOs do and who might be on board. Here are some of the strangest stories ever written on UFOs; but TGB does offer some fairly good documentation that these are not hot air balloons. In particular, I liked the story of the giant UFOnauts seen in Brazil; and for those who are familiar with the fact that UFOs have a strange effect on our sources of power, there is able evidence that they might have even caused the massive power blackout along in the East Coast back in the 60s. He even prints several photos taken at the time the lights went out. This is a good read for anyone into the subject.

IF YOUR INTERESTED IN TALES OF ALIEN BEINGS SEEN ON EARTH then this is definitely the book for you!I have been collecing and reading up on UFOs since the days of Keyhoe and Adamski. I've even had a few off beat experiences of my own, but nothing can compare to the accounts Beckley has collected over this more than three decades of interview UFO witnesses.Here are stories the average reader will find hard to believeif you have a bit of skepticism about yourself. The first account in the book -- dubbed the Stranges UFO Case of All Time -- is really fascinating. Its like the two girls who experiences these weird phenomena were traveling THROUGH TIME. UFOs and strange beings seemingly followed them as they drove down a darkened highway through several states...thinking they were loosing their minds.Then there is the vegitable man who attacked a good old boy from West Virginia and left him utterly senseless...and the three women from Kentucky who found the automobile they were driving in actually levitating into the air into a giant circular mothership.This is a book you wont put down until you have read every last account..Oh yeah, there are the shadow beings to contend with and the crawling lights in Oregon that chased an entire family out of their home into the dead of night.Nothing like most other UFO books -- there isnt a boring encounter in here...that I can guarantee!

"Flying Saucers In The Holy Bible" offers a fascinating look at the religious and spiritual implications of the UFO phenomenon, both in ancient Biblical times and the present day.

It begins with a short book written by the late Virginia Brasington, an ordained minister whose excellent study of UFOs and the Bible was originally published in 1963. Brasington does a wonderful job of making the connections clearly and credibly between UFOs and scriptural phenomena like the "pillar of cloud" that led Moses and the Israelites through the desert. Was that perhaps a sighting of the oft-reported cigar-shaped UFO? And the terrifying appearance of God on the mountaintop where he spoke to Moses face to face, while the Israelites were warned not to approach the ship on pain of death, possibly because it was radioactive.

The recurrent use of the word "clouds" in both the Old and New Testaments is perhaps one of the easier relationships to grasp. Brasington argues that simple wisps of vapor in the skies would not perform like the clouds reported in the Bible. Often times, as with the Exodus in the desert, the cloud would give off bright light at nighttime, certainly something no ordinary cloud could accomplish. There are also repeated references to God "making the clouds his chariot," implying that the clouds described are a form of transportation for God and his compatriots.

The editor of "Flying Saucers In The Holy Bible," Timothy Green Beckley, has done us all a favor by reprinting Brasington's modest and sincere text on the Biblical interpretation of UFOs, but the anthology includes even more. Professor G. Cope Schellhorn contributes a chapter called "The Return of the Son of Man in the Clouds" in which he argues that Jesus' resurrection and ascension and even his Second Coming are all UFO-related inasmuch as they all involve the aforementioned "clouds" in one form or another.

Tim Swartz, an Emmy Award-winning journalist and the author of several books on the paranormal, speculates about the coming of a space age religion in which the belief in aliens is central. Swartz reminds us that every mainstream religion practiced today began as an "outsider" from of heresy, and the need to make religious sense of both the modern, technological world we find ourselves in as well as the never-ending stream of UFO sightings will inevitably lead to various alien "churches."

My own contribution to the book is a chapter in which alien abductees and researchers discuss their feelings about the moral implications of the abduction experience. Their opinions range from abductee Betty Luca's heartfelt belief that she has encountered angels onboard UFOs to top researcher Budd Hopkins' refusal to moralize about the subject at all, saying we lack the information to fully understand the aliens' true motives.

I also wrote the chapter on UFO sightings in modern Israel. It begins with some of the case histories collected by Israeli UFO researcher Barry Chamish of sightings and abductions there since the early 1980s. There is also an interview with Biblical scholar and television personality Gary Stearman, who talks about UFO sightings in Israel as being part of the spiritual warfare over the Holy Land that becomes more visible when Israel is threatened by enemies in the material world. In case after case, Stearman explains, warfare in Israel is accompanied by increased UFO sightings, which Stearman feels are intended to show the world that the aliens will defend Israel at all costs.

I have covered the subject of UFOs for more than ten years, and my primary interest has always been the religious aspects of the phenomenon, hoping that the aliens will prove themselves righteous friends of mankind in spite of all the bad press they currently receive. If you want to learn more about this interpretation of the UFO phenomenon, then "Flying Saucers In The Holy Bible" is a great place to start or continue your education.

CAN THE MIRACLES OF THE BIBLE BE EXPLAINED IN TERMS OF FLYING SAUCERS AND ALIEN VISITATIONS? If you happen to turn on the TV and catch a Christian fundamentalist talking about UFOs, almost certainly they will say that the mysterious discs can be explained in terms of their association with Satan; that UFOS are the lights of Lucifer, since he is identified in the Bible as being the God of the Light and the North Star. Unfortunately, none of these men o the cloth have ever really bothered to investigate the thousands of reports o unidentified flying objects first and therefor should not really be discussing such things - especially if they have not read this book first! I have read several of the UFO-Bible books that have previously been published (those by Jessup and Rev Stranges), but none of them get to the heart of the subject like this collection put together by UFO research veteran Tim Beckley. Beckley has assembled a research team consisting of a minister, a Biblical scholar, an archaeologist and an Emmy Award Winning Journalist to search the Holy book for signs of ET visitation, and have seemingly made some startling discoveries. One of the most unusual features of this book are the photographic reproduction of various religious paintings circa l3th and l4th centuries which seem to show UFOs hovering over Jesus, a painting of Mary with an obviously unexplained object over her shoulder hovering in the sky above a shephard. The researchers ask if the Red Sea was perhaps parted by aliens attempting to save their Isrealite friends, and if the angel who appeared to Mary was not perhaps an ET sent from God to tell of the arrival of the Christ child. Perhaps the most interesting section is on the appearance of UFOs above the Holy land and a chapter on the many sightings and actual contacts taking place in the region. Sean Casteel interviews such UFO personalities as Whitley Strieber, Budd Hopkins,and Betty Andreasson concerning their abduction experiences and believes as balanced out by what Christianity may feel about this strange subject matter. I would not only recommend this book to those of deep faith, but to UFO researches who want to round out their UFO collection with something perhaps abit more sensible than the usual channelings of Jesus which cannot be verified.

THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST FANTASTIC ADVENTURES INTO THE UNKNOWN. . .Until recently, I didnt realize that there was a copy of OTHER VOICES still in print. A collector of Ufo and New Age books -- a good friend of mine -- had told me about reading some of the works of the late researcher George Hunt Williamson. I was familiar with the fact that Williamson was one of the purported witnesses to the famous contact between contactee George Adamski and the space being identified as Orthon in Adamski's FLYING SAUCERS HAVE LANDED book.I was immediately turned on to this volume because I remember over a decade ago I was in North Carolina visiting relatives in the small town of Lumberton when a strange things began to happen. Mysterious voices were being picked up on the radio, tv sets and even over the telephone. The voices was very mechanical soundling -- like a computer (if anyone knew what a computer was back then). The voice always said the same thing -- something about how it was circling over head in a space craft -- and it would be about the same time at night that the voice would start talking, repeating the same thing over and over again.I read an article by editor Timothy Green Beckley that he wrote for the now defunct SAGA magazine, about how even astronauts were hearing such voices on their closely monitored wave bands only open to NASA communications. Who is behind these OTHER VOICES? And what are they really trying to say? Williamson tells his own story matter of factly, and Beckley tries to make the most of what is seemingly happening.Voices talking to us from out of thin air are nothing new. Read LOST JOURNALS OF NIKOLA TESLA and other such volumes if you want background into this type of material. Mediums have been going into trances for decades and speaking in other tongues.Its a fascinating topic and this book hopes to shead some light on this mystery out of time and space.

Since the UFO phenomenon first entered the public imagination in 1947 with pilot Kenneth Arnold's original sighting near Mount Rainier in Washington state, many different forms of contact with the UFOs and their occupants have been claimed by numerous witnesses. However, one frequently overlooked form of communication with the aliens consists primarily of that most simple of methods: voice contact, or "conversation" by means of opening one's mouth and speaking. In "Other Voices," the story of a small group of people and their brave attempt to establish a link with aliens they assumed to be benevolent Space Brothers, the idea of communication by means of the spoken word is explored and produces some surprising results.

"Other Voices" is essentially a reprint of a book entitled "The Saucers Speak," by George Hunt Williamson and Alfred Bailey. Originally published in the 1950s, it still has a great deal of relevance to today's UFO scene. Much of what the authors prophesy has indeed come to pass, and the warning the aliens send about nuclear war and environmental doom is still as urgent as it ever was in spite of the thawing process that the Cold War has undergone in recent years.

Williamson and Bailey, according to Timothy Green Beckley's new and updated introduction, "were ham radio operators who claimed contact with extraterrestrial beings who were continually broadcasting messages to them from spaceships circling in the Earth's uppermost atmosphere. At the time, these authors came under fairly heavy verbal attack as the mere idea that aliens were setting foot on our world seemed a much more remote concept than it might now be considered in this day and age."

Times may not have changed as much as Beckley would hope. Ridicule continues to be the norm for witnesses who come forward with tales of contact with aliens. Even further, Williamson and Bailey are clearly examples of what was called in the 1950s "contactees," a term that today is shunned by even the mainstream UFO community and is understood to mean people on the outer edges of the lunatic fringe.

But "Other Voices" still manages to reach impressive levels of credulity. The authors at one point say that the aliens instruct them to project their own thoughts onto the message to a lesser degree, implying that the human mind tends to cloud the transmission. That looks very much like a telltale realistic detail that separates alien intent from the "psycho-babble" of mere mortals.

At another juncture, the authors say that the young people of their time are beginning to be schooled in the true doctrines of the aliens, receiving a message about peace, love and brotherhood. That statement, first made in the early 1950s, seems uncanny when one recalls the blossoming of the Flower Children in the next decade, armed with their message of pacifism that could conceivably really have come from outer space because it was so alien to the mindset of America's youth prior to those times.

Beckley's introduction also recounts numerous other instances of radios and televisions being jammed with strange voices speaking messages about impending doom, so it is apparent that the phenomenon continues unabated to the present day. While "Other Voices" serves on one level as a refreshing bit of 1950s contactee nostalgia, it also stands the test of time and continues to breathe life into the idea that radio and television voice contact with the Space Brothers may one day be the method by which their existence is finally proven and the deliverance they promise is actually realized.

The Duck Hunter is both interesting and well written. The characters were quite varied, interesting and convincing. I've just ordered a copy as a gift for one of my more avid reading friends!

A great book, full of Ruskin's own special insights on art. Esp art in relation to the world, how it impacts our lives, re life, religion, morals, functionality, even. There are sections on aspects of rendering too... line, color, light. All in all, useful to artists and artwriters alike. It is no less applicable now than when these lectures were delivered, I think, only the phrasing, not the content, is nineteenth century. These were very important thoughts, that set the tenor of art criticism for the entire 20th century. A few really clear b/w illustrations attend the text beautifully.

MJ-12 and the Riddle of Hangar 18: The New Evidence is the book to read if you really want to know what is going on behind the scenes concerning the UFO cover-up. This well-written book by "Mr UFO," Timothy Green Beckley, and "UFO Journalist" Sean Casteel, blows the cover completely off the hidden agenda of the U.S. government and military when it comes to UFOs and their extraterrestrial pilots. This fascinating book also comes with Top Secret MJ-12 papers that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that a secret group within the government knew the truth about UFOs and aliens and kept it secret from the rest of the world. There is even an interesting document that reveals the possible involvement with the secret group MJ-12 and the JFK murder in Dallas.

Don't miss out on this incredible book.

The prophecies of Fatima are almost as well known -- and respected -- as those of the famous French seer Nostradamus.In l9l7 three children had repeated visions of the Virgin Mary in Portugal. They were given prophecies concerning World Wars I and II as well as the world wide spread of communnism. But their third prophecy was not officially released until recently...and there are those who maintain that the real revelations were not disclosed by the church.This book not only reveals what the Third Secret Prophecy of Fatima may consist of; but also gives photographic proof that the Virgin Mary has appeared in over two hundred incidents in the last several decades.Arab terrorists? UFOs? End of the World?The book is very readable and presented in an easy to understand format. It has a good number of pictures and follows a logical order as oppossed to some other books I have TRIED to read on the subject. This is NOT an overly religious approach -- the authors do not seem to have any axe to grind. I recommend this book highly.

Excellent, fun to read, informative, up-to-date.

This book is an excellent resource that could only be brought to you in the alternative press. The case studies are well written, and the photographs are very helpful. A great book for anyone who needs a good overview of the MIB phenomena.

Being a fan of Wm Shatner and the original Star Trek. I was amazed to find that Shatner not only believed in UFOs -- most SF types arewalking skeptics -- but that he had undergone his own close encounter in which his life had been saved by a strange shape in the sky which lead him out of the desert after his motorcycle had konked out. Being a rock musician myself I was particularly interested in finding out which musicians have had their lives affected by UFOs.Turns out David Bowie used to edit a UFO newsletter when he was a teen (isn't he still one), and that Deep Purple had an alien of some kind actually push its "hands" up against a window. One favorite account was that told by the queen of punk, the late Helen Wheels who along with her brother, Peter, saw a space ship in the sky and Helen says she was even taken onboard. Weird, wild, well written.
