5.0 out of 5 stars More Than You Think You Know, December 11, 2007

This review is from: Need to Know: UFOs, the Military, and Intelligence (Paperback)

Probably more books have been written in the past 60 years on the captivating and mysterious phenomena of flying saucers, now referred to as UFOs, than on any other single topic. Their continuing and increasing presence in the skies over planet Earth have led many researchers to undertake closer examinations of the documented reports much of which were closely held by official government agencies and later leaked or declassified..
The current release of NEED TO KNOW: UFOs, The Military, and Intelligence, by Timothy Good, is his seventh book on the subject. NEED TO KNOW is particularly noteworthy in that it builds on his previous works while disclosing new information gleaned from government documents, Air Force personnel and credible witnesses. Its 430 pages lead the reader through known sightings and incidents adequately verified, that spans the recorded 60 plus year history of the UFO presence. Compelling scenarios are presented from official files. Some have appeared on the History Channel, the Larry King program and even Nightline.
As a long-time researcher into the UFO puzzle and a former State Director in the Mutual UFO Network, an international organization, I have read many very good works on the subject and have also written extensively on various UFO aspects. But in reading NEED TO KNOW, I was immensely impressed with the quality and integrity of the work. Mr. Good does not offer his theories, conclusions or opinions. He lets his documented and recorded findings speak for themselves. And indeed, they do speak loudly and emphatically. The sequential presentation of the many different episodes and sightings form a picture that is difficult to ignore or to challenge. Even the incidents on which very little data exists are presented in a time-line that meshes with known and adequately documented events
Mussolini's interest in those early reports of 1941 of strange aerial craft, intercepts of Werner von Braun's V2 rocket tests by UFOs and later, of other missile test launches, the in depth reports on the Washington D.C UFO overflights in 1952, the Northeastern blackout of November 9, 1965 and a month later, the crash of the Kecksberg object in Pennsylvania, disappearances of Air Force planes and pilots, and the incapacitation of an entire missile complex in Montana. These and other incidents are just some of the examples of the detailed coverage of significant unearthly incidents.
But it is in the last one hundred pages of the book that many of the diverse events coalesce and begin to form a picture that cannot be dismissed. This is a book that is well worth the time to read. The UFO has changed more than most of us could imagine. Timothy Good presented thought provoking disclosures. The rest is up to you, the reader. It's your world too. You decide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scared the heck out of me, July 1, 2008

By 

David Kearns "Dave" (Palm Bay, Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Need to Know: UFOs, the Military, and Intelligence (Paperback)

I am just about finished. An incessant read. Earlier reviewers slam him for using old information etc. don't listen to them. This book will absolutely blow your mind.

It is interesting that the slammers don't challenge any of the data in the volume, nor the seemingly incredible stories which are well documented with official paperwork.

The fact our government continues to remain mum is disheartening evidence that democracy as set down by the founding fathers has been suspended since 1947.

When the powers that are created to protect us see fit to continuously lie, covering up a secret that enriches the few, those powers ceased to be esteemed as for the better. The later is my thought on the matter. Mr Good renders no such judgment in his work. He merely lays out all the information. Truly an important work.
