I write to endorse a book I have just finished reading:
"Connecting The Dots: Making Sense of the UFO Phenomenon",
written by Paola Leopizzi Harris, crusading Italo-American
photojournalist and indefatigable UFO investigator.
"Connecting The Dots" is clearly one of the best UFO
books ever, period!
Imagine, if you will, a book with fresh, informative,
personal verbatim interviews with the following notable UFO
figures:
- Colonel Philip Corso, U.S. Army [Intelligence] (ret.)
- Command Sergeant-Major Robert Dean, U.S. Army/NATO
[Intelligence] (ret.)
- Dr. R. Leo Sprinkle, emeritus professor, University of
Wyoming
- J. Allen Hynek, scientist-skeptic turned UFO
researcher and documenter
- Linda Moulton Howe, television documentarist and
author
- Italian Monsignor Corrado Balducci, Roman investigator
into experiencers
- Dr. Steven Greer, Director, the Disclosure Project
- Dr. Michael Wolf (Kruvant), member [MJ-7] of the

National Security Council's Special Studies
Group ["MJ-12"]
- Master Sergeant Clifford Stone, U.S. Army/Project
Twinkle (ret.)
- Dr. Richard Boylan, Star Visitor researcher, Director,
Star Kids Project, Ltd
- Zecharia Sitchin, noted Orientalist and decipherer of
Sumerian Star Visitor history
- Richard Hoagland, investigator of archeological
evidence for past Martian civilization
- Dr. Richard Sauder, expert on U.S. military
underground bases
- Ed Rothschild Fouche, defense contractor to
black-project aerospace vehicles
- Etjof Hasselhoff, Dutch expert on Star Visitor
cereography (crop circles)
- Ingo Swann, seminal instructor in Remote Viewing
- Uri Geller, world-famous psychic and ESP practitioner
- and eleven more notables in the field.

I am considered well-versed in this field and even I
heard some new information from the lips of these
luminaries. Paola has a knack for getting the
hard-to-interview person to open up and spill the goods.

If you buy one UFO book in the next couple years, make
it:
"Connecting the Dots: Making Sense of the UFO
Phenomenon" (c) 2003

Wild Flower Press, P.O. Box 1429, Mill Spring, North
Carolina, USA
ISBN # 0-926524-57-7

Note: There are several other books with "Connecting
the Dots" in their title, one by a different Harris.
Make sure you are getting "Connecting the Dots: Making Sense

of the UFO Phenomenon"! ......

Having read the TOP books in the UFO/Alien/ Government Cover-up Genre; "Unconventional Flying Objects" (NASA UFO Investigator for 30 years) by the scientist Dr. Paul Hill; my FAVORITE is "Alien Rapture" by Edgar Fouche (Top Secret Black Programs Insider) and Brad Steiger (Great fiction-soon to be a movie); "Alien Agenda" by the best selling author of 'Crossfire' Jim Marrs (Best reference on UFOlogy); and "The Day After Roswell," by Colonel Corso - I'd say this book is a MUST READ also!

Why would a respected, decorated, connected Military Officer (Corso) swear in a Court of Law that the UFO Conspiracy is real and that the facts and agenda in these books ARE TRUE? Why did NASA try to ban Dr. Paul Hill's book? Why were Fouche's home, car, and hotel rooms broken into? Why did he go underground after delivering his `insider presentation to the International UFO Congress? Why has the great researcher and bestseller, Jim Marrs, been slandered? Why are there still questions about the deaths of Corso and Hill? Were their sudden demise a product of this conspiracy?

Why? If you read this excellent book and the others, you will know that they are indeed true. Two well-respected American Astronauts have come forward to proclaim they had seen evidence of the Roswell UFO crash and stated they know the cover-up is real. You be the judge. Read this book and check out the reviews of the other TOP books I have mentioned.

I recieved my issue the month it was published and read the reports and interviews carefully. She pretty much reserves judgement and searches for answers in the 'old school' style of inquiry. She does not make pretentious claims at all and many of her subjects are not the ones everyone hears about. Mrs. Haris knows many UFO/Alien researchers and claimants and presents interesting materiel to the reader.

While I personally am not convinced about every story I hear and believe many stories are distorted with sociological or political 'filters' the human mind often experiences, I do think the book is a great addition to a genuine "What are UFO/Aliens" book collection. I have to rate this book towards the top of the list.

Mrs. Harris clearly asks important questions and has a wide range of knowledge to accurately report on what she is hearing. Reporting without undue 'interpetation' and bias is a crucial process in critical analysis of the UFO phenomena.

Connecting the Dots...Making Sense of the UFO Phenomenon by Paola Leopizzi Harris is a very welcome addition to my personal and extensive library on Ufological reading material. Paola's sensitivity and sincerity are evident in her interviews and writings of some of Ufology's most well known people. For those readers such as myself that are especially interested in the life of Dr. Michael Wolf Kruvant, Paola's exceptional interviewing skills helped us to better understand this enigmatic and important person in Ufology. I highly recommend reading this very interesting book.

Paola Harris has written a very readable book that documents her interviews with some of the leading lights in the UFO field. These are the people seen at UFO conferences around the world. Some of them are no longer with us and this is the place to read their words as spoken in their final days.

I have known most of these people at one time or another, the researchers, the informers, and the contactees. While I do not find all the informers or contactees as credible, there is a sufficient cross section of these in the book that there is something for everyone.

The answers given may not answer all of your questions, and some of the answers are at odds with other answers, but there
are many thought-provoking remarks by those who have been involved with this extraordinary phenomena.

Paola Harris asks the hard questions and has a deep feeling for her subject and a clear concise manner with those great minds she has gathered to shed some light on an often murky and somtimes diliberately misinformed body of evidence. You will come away feeling refreshed and hopeful haveing cut through alot of the BS regarding the ET phenomena. I'm currently reading her latest, Exopolitics, How does one speak to a ball of light? and find it moving in the same strong and compelling manner.

This is a terrible book with much false information. In particular the section on Michael Kruvant is pure mythology. Kruvant perpetrated an enormous hoax and suckered Harris right in. Kruvant was a schizophrenic man who made up a totally false life, claiming to have multiple university degrees while in reality he was a college drop out, and was treated in several mental hospitals. He lived in a fantasy world but was very charming and quite intelligent and could be quite persuasive. I knew him personally and have followed the fantastic controversies he stirred up with much amusement. I'm sure in his saner moments, he also must have been quite amused at the fuss he had stirred up. If the other sections of the book are as badly researched as the Kruvant story, then this book should be move into the fiction category.

Paola Harris writes a wonderful book and well worth reading and owning. The broad scope covered is excellent. Her devotion to Michael Wolf Kruvant is unfortunate. Michael was sincere and intellegent and it appears because of his mental off-balance was used by the secret government to feed us mis-information.
Michael Wolf exposed
This is a one hour interview with Michael Wolf Kruvant's brother, Ron Kruvant on January 19, 2008.

This book is a compliation of fascinating interviews, undertaken at enormous expense and effort by the sincere interviewer. But how can one help but dismiss as psychopathic interviewee comments about being in a room negotiating peace treaties with space aliens? This book is a great study in psychophantism but only an odd artifact in serious UFO research.

Despite the credentials of the author and the individuals interviewed, and the apparent sincerity of all those involved, the whole thing smacks of conversion fever; intelligent, educated and experienced people somehow warped by their brush with the beyond, or their taste for it. We don't get any semblance of facts, data or science to make this book worth buying except to encourage and embolden the flock. A mish-mash of truncated interviews stirred into a stew pot boiling with biblical mysticism, new age pop, psychological paranoia, mass conspiracy theory, mentalism....am I leaving anything out folks? When we finally get to the ignobly defrocked Uri Geller it was time to ring the bell, close the book, and quench the candle.

At $24 for a mere 224 paperback pages it may not play in Peoria, but I'm sure they'll move a few copies in Roswell. Cool looking cover though!
