5.0 out of 5 stars To believe in UFO's or Not to Believe, August 1, 2001

To believe in UFO's or not to Believe?

And, if you believe, what can you believe?

There are many good UFO books that are very well researched, and full of facts and information and photos. So much so that it is difficult to dismiss UFO's regardless of our underlying beliefs. But, most of the reports and concepts of UFO's cannot fit with the basic principles of physics -which are the same throughout the universe. Most other books fail to research and offer support in this area rendering their claims less than believable.

What is different and exceptionally interesting and valuable about this book is that it takes a 180 degree turn to review this information from a completely different paradigm - UFO's could be from an alternative dimension. From this multi-dimensional vantage point, many of the odd facts, and abduction and other reports on UFO's fit together better and are more easily accepted. It also touches upon some of the laws of physics to show why these laws are at issue and therefore must be dealt with.

Going a step further, Missler and Eastman then review ancient passages in an attempt to determine if this multi-dimensional paradigm can fit with Jewish, or Christian scriptural beliefs. It appears that their research really pays off well with a different paradigm that supports all of the disparate and anomalous UFO reports.

Of course there have been many speculations regarding various UFO reports, and in turn, Missler/Eastman do make certain leaps in possible interpretations of come biblical passages (which they readily identify as such). But, overall, the paradigm seems to have greater footing than any other UFO model I have read about.

From this book emerges the following: we cannot explain away UFO's - there is just too many reports that cannot be explained; and, most UFO reports do not fit with the principles of physics as we know them.; therefore an alternative paradigm is required in order to better understand UFO phenomena. The Missler / Eastman paradigm seems to best pull the facts together as we believe we know them.

Note for New Agers: Don't avoid this book, or be afraid of it because it concludes with a Christian perspective on UFO. The book is not steeped in "hell fire and brimstone" or sermons. Rather, it is a serious book that takes a deep look at anomalous and challenging UFO phenomena. I would be interested in hearing from others where they objectively see the flaws of this model, as well as what model fits better.

This review is from: Alien Encounters: The Secret Behind the UFO Phenomenon (Paperback)

This book postulates that UFO's are an alien phenomenon, but are piloted by "spiritual" aliens, descendants of the fallen angels mentioned in the Nephilim account of Genesis. I have read this theory before in shorter articles, but this book takes the reader step-by-step through the logic and thought process behind the evidences. It is very interesting reading, and presents a completely different theory on UFO's, who is operating them, and what their purpose is in coming to earth. Rather than spoil the book for any potential readers, I will say that the authors present an astounding yet viable explanation for the existance of UFO's, their special physical properties, and the beings that are within the walls of the craft.

Interestingly, the authors provide solid evidence for the existance of UFO's from various sources, including eye-witness accounts from astronauts and jet pilots who have chased UFO's. Once they establish the basis for the existance of UFO's, they begin to reveal their theory. I believe readers will find the evidence presented for the existance of UFO sightings rational and logical. Since the authors then present an alien theory that is unlike any other, the reader may have doubts about their premise, however, it is certainly a feasible explanation for the UFO phenomenon, an explanation that accounts for all the quirks and strangeness associated with UFO's.

I do recommend this book to anyone with an open mind on UFO's. Many of us have preconceived notions on UFO's, and the explanation presented here is so astounding and different that many readers will initially balk at the authors conclusions. As a student of the Bible for many years, I found their conclusions enlightening and certainly feasible, and best of all thoroughly intriging.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do you know the truth from a lie?, April 5, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Alien Encounters (Paperback)

A very intelligent man once said, "Read the Old Testament like those for whom it was written - The Jews." Missler does a very good job of just that. Having at one time been a "New Age" devotee, I am thrilled to find this literature. For my fellow reviewers who find this book to be "stretching the truth" or part of a "propaganistic" agenda, I encourage you to study the old testament like a person of Jewish faith, and then judge the truth for yourself. Genesis and Revelation are more closely tied than an uneducated gentile can comprehend, and Missler's illustrations are indeed very valid. As a science fiction fanatic, and a "technology junkee," I must profess profound thankfulness to authors such as Missler (under the guidance of Jesus), who have once again pulled me "closer into the fold." Jesus said that there will be many "false prophets who will appear and decieve many people," and that "false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and miracles to decieve the elect." In our technology addicted society, anyone who provides us answers or tempts us with the offer of "knowledge," (much like the serpent in the Garden of Eden) will receive our admiration and trust. Have you ever asked yourself, "How can we possibly unite under one person? We are just too different to agree." But what if that "person" came from the stars, "explained" our Bible, solved our problems, and claimed to either "know" or in fact "be" Jesus Christ - would we follow? Would you? (If you think I am reaching for this, read any New Age text on aliens.) This book leads to much thought and should be read by all. I can only suggest that you know Satan and his disguises, but first you must know yourself - for he knows you very well.
