Amazon.com Review
I can't say that I agree with everything Good proposes in this book, but he does raise some interesting possibilities about UFOs. Good is not claiming that UFOs are extraterrestrial, but simply that they do exist and that the governments of the world have been hiding evidence of this fact. His study is exhaustive but would still be worth reading just to examine the facsimile copies of confidential and secret documents from the U.S., Canada, and Europe, as well as the controversial MJ-12 documents.

The modern era of UFO's began in the skies over Europe, and the mysterious 'FOO' fighters reported by allied bomber crews in the closing days of WWII. The intelligence agencies of the allied powers were concerned about these mysterious glowing balls of light that would follow bombers on their runs. After the war, they could find no surviving Nazi scientist who would admit to knowledge of these craft.
Timothy Good takes you on a whirlwind tour of the modern UFO history. He details the extensive campaign of dis-information put into place following the Roswell incident, and shows the attempts by various other world governments to cover up any information dealing with the phenominon.
The primary motive for this cover-up appears to be one of fear, both of a collapse in law and order when the truth - that our governments cannot stop or protect us from invasion or abduction, and a fear also in the aliens themselves, and perhaps the beginnings of a subserviant alliance with them...
I strongly reccommend Mr. Good's book to any serious researcher on the UFO dilemma. The book is very convincing, and will keep you awake at night, pondering the implications for us all.

Format:Paperback
All of those who entertain the concept of a world wide UFO cover-up really owe something to Timothy Good. In this one of a kind book Good goes through files from the United States, Canada, all over Europe and the very contreversial MJ-12 documents to show that governments all around the world are secretly investigating unidentified flying objects and hiding the truth. Good's conclusions are based more on research as opposed to speculation unlike many other UFO books. Great for an introduction to UFOlogy as well as for the experienced UFO buff looking for something grounded in fact.

Format:Paperback
Timothy Good's 1988 ABOVE TOP SECRET is not a quick easy read, but it offers an unmatched pile of information for the skeptic. Nearly every researcher who has studied the UFO phenomenon has concluded that they are space craft operated by extraterrestrial biological entities, and Good is no exception.
Good takes a special interest in what governments other than the USA are doing about the problem. He catalogues several instances where a government's rheteric is in conflict with its actions. There is an especially good and lengthy appendix with document after document from the world's governments, proving that despite their denials, they do take UFO sightings seriously.
As a British investigator, Good details the intelligence services of the UK, and how they liason with those of America and also the KGB. Some of the best information lies in the exposure of secret government organizations and how they liason with ech other. You can almost create an org chart to follow the flow of information from the moment a witness makes his frantic phone call to the local authorities.
Some of the individual sighting reports can safely be skipped, but as you get deeper into the report, you begin getting to the real meat of what makes this book valuable. Knock off a star for overlong and somewhat dry, and you are left with a four-star must read for the UFO buff.

too descriptive
This book has lots and lots of sightings, descriptions, etc. I am intrigued with this subject, however, I don't feel that it tells me any further other than those many encounters. Read more

Encyclopedic, centered in pro-UFO belief
No one would ever characterize Timothy Good as being overly skeptical. In terms of research and analysis this is a liability. Read more
