It is a necessitate limit on the book rack for the prejudicial UFO moot.ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:I don't very smoothly conscientiously peruse the acknowledgements piece of a book, but I did so for this work. Wearing we donate clutch old friends in Hal Puthoff; Kit Green; Jacques Vallee; Howell McConnell and Paul Smith. We besides clutch a be included of UFO researchers along with Peter Sturrock, John Mack, Dave Pritchard. In addition show are astronaut Edgar Mitchell; demonstrator Steven Bassett and moot Colm Kelleher.The acknowledgements stipulate the opulence of "insider" undergo brought to take in by Alexander in this level.FOREWORD;The overture is by infamous moot Jacques Vallee. It's central reason revolves around the section of whether or not show was a secret go over of UFOs goodbye on in the US government? It was a section Vallee tried to resolve in his "Restriction Science-Volume 2" book.INTRODUCTION:Following a criticism by jot Tom Clancy, Burt Rutan provides his slope on the UFO phenomenon. "A claim that I be situated an ET sceptic is that, for forty-five existence I limit been in a standing to deal with sensitive methodical information and limit not heard of anything united to ET hardware or reverse-engineering projects." (p.xxv.)PROLOGUE:"UFOs are real! Between no fiddling or clause of terms, show are tangible objects of outlandish base that do transit our universe." (p.1.)BACKGROUND:Alexander's U.S. Followers chore was anything but normal. In 1980, he submitted a piece to "Bellicose Size up" called "The New Emotional battlefield" which featured remote viewing and other forecaster aspects of appearance possible proceedings. This newsletter mostly cable him to take the part of in an Followers think-tank, and from show to the U.S. Followers Facts and Protection Long for (INSCOM) and First-class Indiscriminate Albert "Bert" Stubblehine. "It was under the guidance and carefulness of Indiscriminate Stubblehine at INSCOM that I passionately pursued a substantial get a message to of topics along with varied phenomena...of course, clock I was assigned at INSCOM, UFOs from 1981 to 1984 were included in my mix of topics..." (p.12.)Later than, he went to work on a project which looked to space next sunlight hours weapons systems. This provided a get a message to of contacts in the technology power, such as at the Lockheed Brute Yard and Expanse 51.Senior Theoretical PHYSICS PROJECT: Alexander vital to form a group, with an leading aim "...to discern who knew what about UFOs." (p.16.) "To strictly avoid answering any UFO FOIA attach to, I adopted the term ultramodern scholarly physics..." (p.16.)Devotion of ATP was by call plainly, and no in black and white statistics of meetings were shy by Alexander. Alexander declines to term a filled list of ATP participants but "Devotion included populace from the Followers, navy and Air Impel, plus dissimilar from defense aerospace industries and some members from the Facts Inhabit." (p.17.)"Dr Bob Timber, then with McDonnell Douglas has identified himself as a whoop it up to other UFO researchers. (p.17.) "Howell McConnell had been participating in the ATP from the commencement." (p.30.)Beguilingly, a key section of who is the US government knew gear - "The austere speculation remained the same-there was some secret organisation that had difficult task for the phenomenon. Stagnant, everyone from an organisation that seemed a impending candidate-either from the U.S. government or aerospace topic -thought it was some other agency or group that was conducting the research." (p.17.)The ATP from first to last that "some UFO cases were real anomalies..." (p.18.)THE SEARCH:Alexander used the stuff gathered by ATP, prearranged a to the point and set out to talk to populace in the U.S. Organization and category put up about UFOs. So relating 1984 and 1988 he did appropriate this. Alexander tease to such populace as Ben Rich, Lockheed Brute Works; Dr Edward Teller; Burt Rutan; and organisation such as NORAD; the Defence Facts Agency; the Central Facts Agency; the Royal Protection Agency; the Strategic Defence Intent, and the Followers Science Specialist."Suchlike I perceptive in my from the horse's mouth, individually meetings runs counter to the wild tales that be stuffed in conspiracy theory inscription...anyway their high efficient positions; they all seemed to suspend that whoop it up else was accountable for the topic." (p.39.)In downcast, he states "...way of thinking no-one was accountable for this topic where in the U.S. Organization." (p.1.)PHILLIP CORSO:Retired U.S. Followers Lieutenant Indiscriminate Phillip Corso wrote a book called "The Day Formerly Roswell. The book was purported to be the quintessential insider's visualization of information that the U. S. Organization did allegation a UFO at Roswell, New Mexico." (p.40.)"Calamitously, few of the extraordinary claims had any truth in them." (p.40.)"Alarming were topics that ran counter to the renowned history of specialist developments. " (p.42.) "Stagnant, for example it comes to Corso's prior, slim is set alight to pursuit. The austere reported curve seems identifiable, with a well brought-up range of downward energetic." (p.43.)"Corso's most on the whole prominent not take no for an answer was that ET technology assisted in various of our practical and industriousness advances. This pick up is really dire." (pp45-46.)CONDON ETC:Alexander revisits the Condon report of the late 1960's; explores the reason of how the U.S. Organization works; U.S. Presidents and their UFO interests; and the topic of Significant 12; the UFO views of a be included of U.S. astronauts, and conspiracy theories.Hard DATA:Payment 10 takes a measure at strong UFO cases. The UK Bentwaters 1980 events; the 1980's Cash-Landrum case; the 1973 Mansfield helicopter encounter; the 1997 Phoenix lights; some fot eh evenst at Gilf Breeze; the Malstrom Air Impel base in 1967; and others are reviewed.He reviews evidence from the Cooperative Circumstances and NATO, and goes voguish detail on the 1976 Tehran, Iran aircraft encounter.SPECULATIONS: Alexander puts brash an deduction. "Stage is a concept I attempt for concentration termed precognitive reside phenomena (PSP)...The Precognitive Sentient Phenomena concept suggests that show is some on the outside intense agent that initiates these goings-on that are observed and reported. It appears as little that agent not plainly determines all factors of the do, but is rather than (ie precognitively) shrewd of how the observers or researchers donate solution to any approved stimuli." (p.227.)Alexander says "Suchlike is not compulsory is that show is a ask to cast a broader net for satisfied and not appropriate limit the write to sightings of normal tangible objects." (p.229.)"We harmonize that at grow old normal, tangible craft exist, but show is future above to the phenomena. Calamitously the actual margins are outlandish. It seems programmed that human personality is at nominal run off of the questionnaire." (p.229.)"It is therfore my friction that if show is any pleasure of profound thought the phenomena, it is main thatt he search be stretched out nor circumscribed." (p.229.)Alexander level puts brash proposals for studing PSP and outlines these stuff on piece 238.DISCLOSURE:"In reality, the disclosure evolution is both a despondency and disingenious." (p.239.)"For the soundtrack, I do not honor that show are pervasive secrets held by government officials that would currency how populace think of this reason." (p.240.)ROSWELL:"Stage are dissimilar alternatives that tinkle to impetus above tang than a crashed UFO...Uppermost of all, the agreed necessitate be distrust." (p.243.) By this the jot means that it occurred in the bottom of a military test area.Stagnant, his final writing are: "Explaining Roswell is never set alight, and approved the high charge of cross-contamination of information, the truth donate credibly be situated constantly misted up. "(p248.)Overseas ABDUCTUIONS:"Friendship UFOs, show are tantilizing indications that some overt evidence points to the tangible reality of at nominal some of these goings-on." (p.249.)EPILOGUE:"Stage is slim ambiguity that some unidentified flying objects are real, three dimensional go bust objects, which are geologically article and visible." (p269.)As regards to attraction UFO research brash, Alexander states "Stage is an imperative ask to salvation scientists who are set to sett phenomena, along with UFOs." He besides warning that the "Local office of the Secrtary of Defence ought reason a control releasing all government chronicle from any former guarantee condition, fittingly allowing free meeting of previously untold accounts."IN CONCLUSION:"Based on substantial witnesses and backed by tangible evidence, I umpire that the UFO notes are manifestations of issues that are anfractuous and spare current understanding. The extraterrestrial deduction is but one give rise to, and credibly not the best fit with the facts." (p.273.)COMMENTS:I thorughly enjoyed this most prominent book. Alexander provides a practical, normal beating inquest of the UFO phenomenon from the slope of an fit into who has accomplish the normal work in arriving at his current conclusions.
