Extraterrestrial Visitations: True Accounts of Contact [Paperback]

Preston Dennett (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 8, 2001

This book represents the cutting edge of UFO abduction research, with ten new and original accounts of very close contact with UFOs and aliens, as told in the witnesses' own words. What's more, most of cases come from fully conscious experiences, as opposed to cases retrieved through hypnosis. Several of the stories present new information that is highly controversial and not commonly reported in UFO literature.

4.0 out of 5 stars See If Any of This Stuff Sounds Familiar, January 31, 2002

This review is from: Extraterrestrial Visitations: True Accounts of Contact (Paperback)

This book is not a "blockbuster". It is humble and honest rather than sensationalistic. It is short and can easily be read in an afternoon. The author thankfully doesn't spend a lot of time defending his belief in the existence of UFOs. This book is a collection of several reports in the first person of the people who experienced the events. It covers many different types of missing time, sightings, abduction/visitor contacts, alien "exams"...in short, the usual. What I liked about it was that it didn't have a lot of editorializing. It just let the peoples' experiences speak for themselves. I like to read reports such as this because I have experienced several incidences of "high strangeness" in my life and I enjoy comparing notes with others to learn if others have experienced what I have. This book relates the words of average people living normal lives who have been in touch with something they cannot fully explain. It is not going to be found on any best seller list but it is just plain interesting, well paced, well written and fair-minded. It doesn't come across with dire predictions, conspiracy theories or any sweeping statements about the close encounter experience. The author has done the investigating, talked with the people and now shares with the reader so that we can piece this information together with our own understanding and insight. I appreciate it for what it is and recommend it if you are in the process of learning and investigating this phenomenon.

4.0 out of 5 stars ET Visitations, June 26, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Extraterrestrial Visitations: True Accounts of Contact (Paperback)

This is a good book for people interested in ufos and abductions. The author has a good style of writing and lets the people who have lived through these experiences, speak for themselves in the book. Preston lets you make up your own mind about the cases, instead of TELLING you what they mean and forcing a particular point of view on you like a lot of books and authors out there (David Jacobs, Stephen Greer, and others).

I for one recommend it.

1.0 out of 5 stars It Needs a Rewrite, July 7, 2007

By

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Extraterrestrial Visitations: True Accounts of Contact (Paperback)

Near the beginning of the book there is a whole page describing how an object moved - up; down; to the right; then to the left; then up; then down etc. This was done again later on taking up a good portion of the page, and repeating this scenario lesser in other pages.

I do not understand how a person can have an alien implant on the roof of his mouth without him feeling it with his tongue, as a dentist removed it.

I found 5 typos, and a couple of words that did not pertain to anything.

And the reader does not know when the author is talking being that there is not a new paragraph when he does.

In general the book was not well written.

As an overall I think the book needs a rewrite.
