There are chapters, essays, and appendices by a number of talented writers. Perhaps the most fascinating contributions are by Jonathan Vos Post and David Brin, former classmates at Caltech, who are now both well-known scientists and authors. Is it just a coincidence that Brin wrote "The Postman?" These two scientist/science fiction authors draw on a range of literature in SETI (the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence), linguistics, anthropology, and the many works of fiction on the subject. A handsome acid-free paper book that just might change history if the person who first meets an extraterrestrial has read the contents and taken them seriously.

For any UFO enthusiast, this is the best 5 bucks you will ever spend. I bought this book because of a gift certificate, and accidentally discovered perhaps the best kept secret on Amazon. It is full of intriguing history and speculation from extremely intelligent scientists and researchers.

The title is misleading. This book is a composite of essays about UFO contact. Some are deliberately written for the purpose of aiding a contactee. The rest are speculative essays on everything from possible extraterrestrial anatomy to potential historical impact. All of them are well supported, logical, and fascinating.

I honestly don't give five stars often, but this book deserves it. If nothing else, five dollars for a hardcover book is a great deal!

ive seen a much more accurate book in my public library. this book did detail some things i was wondering about and the writiing was clear and concice so 3 stars.
