Lots of factual information that you may have never heard of: the Laguna aliens, frequent sightings in Montreal, etc. It has a plethora of information that can make you an alien expert overnight! I feel like I could go into an X-Files episode and hold a conversation. But it goes beyond just facts on aliens - it describes their effect on the economy, political happenings resulting from hysteria they caused, etc. My only qualm is that some of the different essayists had somewhat bland writing styles. Overall, a decent read.

A thought-provoking collection of articles and essays on recent (early 1990s) developments in the UFO field. Highlights include Jorge Martin's case for an extraterrestrial base in Puerto Rico and George Wingfield's discussion of the 1992 crop circle season. Those of you who do not need any more evidence to be convinced of the physical reality of the UFO phenomenon will enjoy several "big picture" essays. Hal McKenzie gives an astute, witty analysis of what he calls the UFO "denial syndrome" and makes some useful suggestions for political activism, John Spencer grapples with the conundrum of what kind of evidence is undeniable even to the hardened sceptic, and Dr. James Deardorff puts forth some intriguing speculation on possible extraterrestrial strategy.

Good roundup of various authors views/experiences with UFOs from the era of 1990/2 - put in good (non Americanised) English. Although not Tim's best work it gives such a diverse set of viewpoints it is thought provoking and with Tim's excellent final chapter, cannot be overlooked by any keen ufologist.

This book was average at best. If your new to the subject matter you'll probobly enjoy it but I didnt find too many things in the book that I hadnt read somewhere else first. I would also like to make a disclaimer, this book is advertised on Amazon as being written by Timothy Good, THAT IS NOT THE CASE. Mr. Good edited this book, and did not write it. If you are a fan of Mr. Good's books you will know shortly after opening it that the writing style and quality is no where near what he would produce. If your looking for books written by Mr. Good to add to your collection, pass this one by, its not worthy of sitting on the shelf next to his classics on the subject of UFO's.
