3.0 out of 5 stars Alien Base is realistic, and non-sensationalistic August 26, 2002

By Jamie Innes

Format:Paperback

A friend of mine who has been a UFO enthusiast for years reccomended this book to me stating it was definitely one of Timothy Good's best. And just so you know, Timothy Good is a very well known and respected UFO researcher, and in this book, he presents a realistic and un-hyped series of reports of UFO sightings and alien contacts from the 1930's through to the 1970's.

And that's where you'll get caught out if you're not knowing what to expect from the book. I was expecting a broad range of topics that covers everything, and I was hoping to learn more about the "little grey men". This book doesn't deal with that species of alien at all.

The thing is, the reports of the little grey men have only come into abundance since the 70's. Before that, which is mainly what this book covers... people who had been into contact with aliens, all reported similar stories...

Anatomically perfect humanoid aliens (who could pass for humans) landing in flying saucers in remote areas for a variety of reasons. A most of the encounters reported in this book cite these aliens as advanced, and friendly.

That's what this book covers in a nutshell. (However there are some exceptions) It's a great read, some amazing stories, and a few photographs that they've been unable to prove as being faked or superimposed.

Most importantly, Timothy Good reports to you the facts (as reported by the alien contactees (many of who he personally interviews)) and does not speculate. And after each story, gives his thoughts and impression of the validity of the contactee in question.

Perhaps the most important aspect of this book, is that it will open your eyes to some very important things......

1- Not all aliens that are here now, or have visited here are "little grey men"
2- Not all species of alien are here for the same reason. There are many different reasons for people to travel, as with any alien species.
3- Not all species of alien interact with humankind in the same way. Not all abduct people (See "The Nordics"), then again, not all are friendly (See "The Dwarves") Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 stars Does It Matter Whether or Not Its True? January 29, 2006

By TheRaccoonMan

Format:Paperback

I've read all of Timothy Good's books;for that matter I've met the guy-he's one of the nicest people on the planet.I have enjoyed all of his books because he's a good writer and because his stories are interesting.Whether or not they're true is something I'm not able to address.Where do you draw the line on stories like these? Other reviewers have shaken their heads over Good's championing of Adamski and other "contactees", but their stories, as related by Good,make for pleasurable reading. I personally don't believe that Adamski was being contacted by anyone,but his story was interesting.That's the bottom line.I recommend this book as the best of Good's work and I urge the reader to suspend disbelief and to simply enjoy the book.Pretend that you're reading science fiction if you can't swallow the stories. Most of the subject matter will be new to even a fairly well read student of UFOs and Good's writing style is a pleasure to read. What else matters?

3.0 out of 5 stars Not up to Good's standards December 16, 1999

By James Nipe

Format:Paperback

This book was quite disappointing to me. If you're a fan of Good's, you should probably go ahead and get this book, but I was distressed by the number of stories he included that were nothing more than individuals of dubious credibility reporting highly "suspicious" encounters with aliens. This read just a little too much to me as simply a money making venture.

5.0 out of 5 stars New UFO info July 28, 2000

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

I'm always looking for new UFO information not already published that alludes to contact, motives, etc. This book provides a lot of new and interesting stories about UFO contactees. If you're looking for stories that are not in other UFO books this is it. Highly recommended. Includes a lot of photos. It's not hard science but very few UFO books qualify in that regard. Timothy Good has written other well regarded UFO books so he has a lot of credibility with me.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing August 11, 1999

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

I was looking forward to reading "Alien Base", expecting Timothy Good's usual level of excellence and good sense. Instead, "Alien Base" devotes a deplorable amount of time rehashing the old contactee cases, George Adamski, among others. That Good has choosen to consider those patently ludicrous "space brother" fabrications as credible, at least in part, has definitely made me question his judgment.

The photgraphic plates were disappointing too, except two shots of aliens, one of which appears to be a dessicated grey.

I take the subject matter seriously, but Good's latest book is too uneven, too lacking in analysis, and, at times, presents too much evidence of the author's gulliblity to make for a satisfying addition to the UFO shelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite.... Good! June 19, 2006

By Brian Hurtt

Format:Paperback

Timothy Good has done a great service to Ufo buffs.

What he has done is to cull through and distill down only the most probable stories from witnesses with high credulity. E.G. doctors, lawyers (ahem...), military officers, scientists, etc. Other witnesses not in this category are well corroborated through thier police reports. These are little known, but highly corroborated accounts from the 40's thru today.

If you're looking for clear, concise accounts, without all the political frippery and extraneous comment from the " experts ", then this is the book for you. 403 pages of well documented (with footnotes and references)accounts found nowhere else. Photos disapoint though.

Good gives us the benefit of his vast knowledge and sometimes personal involvement with some of the best known investigators. Cases span the globe from South America, to Europe to The U.S.

A page turner! Hard to put down. Highly recommended.
