(From Page 341 – 347 of Abducted by Aliens, By Chuck Weiss)
I offer as worthy of your time the following list of books written about UFOs and related topics, with a couple of titles on mind control and government harassment thrown in for the rightfully paranoid. I’ve also included a short description of what it is that I think recommends each volume. Books by Abductee/Experiencers are listed separately at the end, without comment. For some of those volumes, the publishing information is incomplete because I don’t have a copy to refer to and haven’t been able to find further information online. Many of these titles are out of print and can only be found in used bookstores, or through the used book services of Amazon.com and the like. And of course there’s always eBay and other online auction houses.
When reading any of the volumes listed below, either by researchers or self-admitted Abductee/Experiencers, I would urge that you do so with a grain of salt and not believe something just because it was in a book. There are many hidden agendas in UFOlogy and not everyone is who they represent themselves to be. Even among these volumes of my choosing, there are chapters that I stow away in Stanton’s Friedman’s “Gray Box” until that time when some new piece of the puzzle should prove, or disprove, their validity. That being said, here are my recommendations.
David Hatcher Childress
Extra-Terrestrial Archaeology. Stelle, IL: Adventures Unlimited Press, 1994.
This book is packed with photos showing curiosities and anomalies on many of the heavenly bodies in our solar system. There’s more than just the face on Mars!
Col. Philip J. Corso (Ret.) with William J. Birnes
The Day After Roswell. New York, NY: Simon & Schuster, 1997.
While I’m always a little leery of people who come forward with government credentials, the Colonel wove a pretty good story about helping American industry absorb and develop Alien technology recovered from the crash of a UFO at Roswell, New Mexico in 1947.
Frank Edwards
Flying Saucers – Serious Business. New York, NY: Lyle Stuart Inc., 1966.
Flying Saucers – Here and Now! New York, NY: Lyle Stuart Inc., 1967.
Frank Edwards was a famous radio broadcaster whose reputation and name recognition sent his two books on the subject of UFOs to the top of the best-seller lists, bringing reasoned discussion of the topic to a large national audience for the first time. His call for congressional hearings was cut short by a fatal heart attack.
Raymond E. Fowler
The Andreasson Affair: The Documented Investigation of a Woman’s Abduction Aboard a UFO. Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice-Hall, 1979.
The Andreasson Affair, Phase Two: The Continuing Investigation of a Woman’s Abduction by Alien Beings. Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice-Hall, 1982.
The Watchers, The Secret Design Behind UFO Abduction. New York, NY: Bantam Books, 1990.
The Watchers II: Exploring UFOs and the Near-Death Experience. Newberg, OR: Wild Flower Press, 1995.
The experiences of Betty Andreasson-Luca are perhaps the best documented ever in UFO research. Her detailed descriptions and drawings while under hypnosis are also some of the most detailed and strange on record. I believe Raymond Fowler’s conclusions as regards the origin of the Gray Aliens, as described in The Watchers and The Watchers II, to be very close to the truth.
Stanton T. Friedman
Top Secret/Majic. New York. NY: Marlowe & Company, 1996, rpt. 1997.
Whether or not you agree with his conclusions, no one denies that Stanton Friedman is one of the few nuts-and-bolts researchers who spend time in the stacks of libraries, both public and private, looking for primary source material. Start with this book on the Majestic-12 documents, and then digest Crash at Corona (written with Don Berliner) about the crash of two disks near Roswell, New Mexico. After that, read his detractors if you wish.
Stanton T. Friedman and Don Berliner
Crash at Corona. New York, NY: Paragon House, 1992.
John G. Fuller
The Interrupted Journey: Two Lost Hours “Aboard a Flying Saucer”. New York, NY: The Dial Press, 1966.
This book detailed the first case of Alien Abduction to reach the public consciousness.
Allen H. Greenfield
Secret Cipher of the UFOnautes. Lilburn, GA: IllumiNet Press, 1994.
While I have no comment about the author’s discovery of a secret cipher used by ETs, his comments on the ongoing war between the Light and the Dark are worth reading.
Ion Hobana and Julien Weverbergh
UFOs From Behind the Iron Curtain. New York, NY: Bantam Books, 1974.
The first and still one of the few books on the subject of UFOs in the old Soviet Union that’s available in English.
Budd Hopkins
Missing Time: A Documented Study of UFO Abductions. New York, NY: Richard Marek Publishers, 1981.
Intruders: The Incredible Visitations at Copley Woods. New York, NY: Random House, 1987.
Witnessed: The True Story of the Brooklyn Bridge UFO Abductions. New York, NY: Simon & Schuster, 1996.
Budd Hopkins is one of the first people to enter the field of Abduction research. He is credited with “discovering” two major elements of the phenomenon: “missing fetuses,” resulting in the creation of human-Alien hybrids, and “missing time,” an indication that a real physical Alien encounter has taken place. Intruders and Missing Time are “textbooks” on these two subjects.
Budd Hopkins and Carol Rainey
Sight Unseen: Science, UFO Invisibility and Transgenic Beings. New York, NY: Atria Books, 2003.
This is an interesting volume by Budd Hopkins and his wife, Carol Rainey. The science part of the book is written by Ms. Rainey and describes the latest discoveries in various scientific disciplines that might help explain some of the Alien technology that seems to us today to be like magick. The section on Transgenic Beings (differing from Hybrids in that the person is physically changed after birth in specific ways through “gene therapy”) is very interesting; the authors may have discovered another way the ETs are furthering their genetic agenda.
Jim Keith
Casebook on the Men in Black. Lilburn, GA: IllumiNet Press, 1997.
Mind Control, World Control. Kempton, IL: Adventures Unlimited Press, 1997.
Saucers of the Illuminati, Lilburn. GA: IllumiNet Press, 1999.
Mind Control and UFOs: Casebook on Alternative 3. Kempton, IL: Adventures Unlimited Press, 1999, rpt. 2005.
Jim Keith was a well respected researcher in the world of conspiracies, until his own suspicious death while undergoing a simple knee operation. In a field filled with paranoia, his voice was reasoned and his research well founded. I recommend his books, even if I do disagree with his conclusions regarding ETs and flying vans.
Major Donald E. Keyhoe USMC (ret.)
The Flying Saucers are Real. New York, NY: Fawcett Publications, Inc., 1950.
Flying Saucers from Outer Space. New York, NY: Henry Holt & Co., 1953.
The Flying Saucer Conspiracy. New York, NY: Henry Holt & Co., 1955.
Alien from Space: The Real Story of Unidentified Flying Objects. New York, NY: Doubleday & Co., 1973.
Donald Keyhoe was a retired Marine Corps Major with contacts in the Air Force that initially cooperated with him and provided much of the case material he quoted. He was extremely credible and was one of the first to write reasonably on the subject. His books are still good reads these many years later.
John E. Mack, M.D.
Abduction: Human Encounters with Aliens. New York, NY: Macmillan Publishing Company, 1994.
Passport to the Cosmos: Human Transformation and Alien Encounters. New York, NY: Crown Publishers, 1999.
Dr. Mack was a Harvard professor whose tenured position was challenged when he wrote that the UFO Abduction phenomenon should be considered at face value, instead of treating it as a mental health issue. His conclusion, that the ET agenda is largely spiritual in nature, is detailed in Passport to the Cosmos and well worth reading.
Jim Marrs
Alien Agenda: Investigating the Extraterrestrial Presence Among Us. New York, NY: Harper Collins, 1997.
If there was only one book to read on the subject of UFOs, this would be the one. The best summary of the subject currently available. Jim Marrs is a superb researcher. His inquiries into the JFK assassination (Crossfire), 9/11 (Inside Job and The Terror Conspiracy), and the Illuminati (Rule by Secrecy) are all definitive works on their subjects.
Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier
The Morning of the Magicians. Paris: Editions Gallimard; New York, NY: Avon Books, 1963.
The authors cover a wide variety of unusual subjects to support their contention that our world has entered a new era of the fantastic, where occult forces that had operated from behind the scenes for thousands of years are now in the open for all to see. One third of the book focuses on Nazi Germany and their crusade to forcibly substitute anti-intellectual chaos for reasoned discourse throughout all aspects of German society.
Trevor Ravenscroft
The Spear of Destiny: The Occult Power Behind the Spear Which Pierced the Side of Christ. York Beach, MN: Samuel Weiser, Inc., 1982.
This is an occult classic about the spear that supposedly pierced the side of Jesus while he was on the cross, and its supernatural power to make armies that “carry it before them” invincible. The author convincingly documents Hitler’s obsession with this religious artifact.
Bruce Rux
Hollywood Vs. the Aliens: The Motion Picture Industry’s Participation in UFO Disinformation. Berkeley, CA: Frog Ltd., 1997.
An extensive work on Hollywood’s portrayal, in TV and the movies, of UFOs and their occupants. The introduction alone, a 71-page history of the UFO phenomenon, is worth the price of the book. (And the man knows the movies!)
Zecharia Sitchin
Divine Encounters: A Guide to Visions, Angels, and Other Emissaries. New York, NY: Avon Books, 1995.
Mr. Sitchin is an expert in ancient languages, being able to read in the original the earliest writings of Man known to exist. He is best known for his Earth Chronicles, a series of books that carefully outline his theory that Earth was colonized in prehistory by Aliens who made mankind “in their image” through genetic manipulation. In Divine Encounters, however, Mr. Sitchin describes how the ancients said they communicated with their gods and goddesses. The prophetic dreams and visions of ancient kings closely parallel the “dreams” and altered states of consciousness described by UFO Experiencers.
Dusty Sklar
The Nazis and the Occult. New York, NY: Dorset Press, 1989.
It’s a short volume, only 180 pages, but comprehensive. A good introduction to the subject. Originally published as Gods and Beasts: The Nazis and the Occult.
H. Michael Sweeney
The Professional Paranoid. Venice, CA: Feral House, 1998.
If you’re being harassed and want to fight back in the limited ways that are possible, this can an empowering book to read.
Richard L. Thompson
Alien Identities: Ancient Insights into Modern UFO Phenomena. San Diego, CA: Govardhan Hill, Inc., 1993.
This is a thick volume and a brilliant treatise on Aliens in human history, with an emphasis on descriptions of UFO Encounters from the ancient texts of India.
Ryan Wood
MAJIC Eyes Only: Earth’s Encounters with Extraterrestrial Technology. Broomfield, CO: Wood Enterprises, 2005.
Over 70 different documented UFO crash and retrievals compiled in one volume.
