5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting and controversal but... is it fact or fiction?
I bought this book because I've always found the subject interesting and kinda' scary. So when I read the reviews of this book and saw its cheap price, I had to own it. It starts with a lot of small stories about abductions and sightings and gets pretty deep into the conspiracy theory issue. When you've been reading in the book, you're left sitting with your mouth open...

2.0 out of 5 stars More Nonsense About UFOs
This book could serve as a snapshot of the UFO world as it stood in the 1980s and 1990s.

I bought this book because I've always found the subject interesting and kinda' scary. So when I read the reviews of this book and saw its cheap price, I had to own it. It starts with a lot of small stories about abductions and sightings and gets pretty deep into the conspiracy theory issue. When you've been reading in the book, you're left sitting with your mouth open and thinking "Gee... If that's true then..." It's a good (entertaining and exciting) book which I highly recommend BUT... is all this really true? How will we know? Let's storm "Area 51"! (If they haven't removed anything of interest now)

5.0 out of 5 stars You couldn't pry this book from my cold dead hands!, March 14, 1999
By A Customer
This book only made me more angry with the government than I have been all of my adult life. I bought this book after watching "Alien Invasion Week" on the TLC network. It has me wondering when this will all come to a head. The sources that are in this book are very real. The government's answers are so ridiculous that it makes you laugh out loud as you read the book. Why can't we get the people we are paying to run our government to answer the questions and produce what they have been hiding? Why isn't the media pressing on all these issues? This book is a treasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, Not Suprised it's being re-released., August 25, 1998
By A Customer
One of the top three UFO/Conspiracy books written. Again, the master of the written word has astounded me. This book was suppressed and only 200 copies are in circulation from first printing. The government did not want this out to the general public then. Now, updated and still on the mark with details, facts, and true insight into the secret cover-up, I intend to buy it for my friends. Steiger knows what is going on, on the inside of the government's agenda, as evidenced by his new book Alien Rapture. Alien Rapture for the first time, surpasses Sphere (M Chricton), Doomsday (S Sheldon) and anything Strieber's written, and rumors of a movie deal are circulating. Buy this book for a friend. It will be appreciated.

2.0 out of 5 stars More Nonsense About UFOs, December 12, 2009
A Kid's Review
This book could serve as a snapshot of the UFO world as it stood in the 1980s and 1990s. This book is full of nonsense about "shadow governments" and secret deals with aliens which were popularized by oddballs like John Lear and dangerous nuts like the late Bill Cooper. Cooper was an especially important figure on the UFO scene back in those days and his popularity goes a long way in explaining why UFOs have been marginalized and why so many people smirk and shake their heads when you mention the subject. Cooper and Lear, offering no evidence beyond their own words, somehow convinced thousands of otherwise sane people that the "gray" aliens had established an underground base in New Mexico filled with horrible mutations where innocent people were held in cages and experimented on by teams of human and alien scientists. For some reason people swallowed this nonsense and in the process helped make the subject of UFOs even more ridiculous than it had been in previous years. Cooper later incorporated the loathsome Protocols of the Elders of Zion into his mythos and finally claimed that he'd just been kidding about UFOs all along...or something. He declared that UFOs were a smokescreen and that he'd been tricked and concentrated on fighting the evil federal government. He wound up being killed by law officers in a shootout at his compound.

Other than demonstrating that you CAN fool some of the people all of the time, there's not much value to this book. Most of the people who propagated this mishmash of stories have disappeared or become irrelevant. And fewer people than ever take UFOs seriously. Coincidence?

4.0 out of 5 stars Did you know aliens are real?, February 4, 1999
By A Customer
Here's why this could be the only UFO book you'll ever need to read. See, as Steiger cheerfully acknowledges at the end of the book, after 50 years of UFO research all they have to show for it is a bunch of unverifiable reports, a pile of photos of white dots on black background, dozens of theories, each equally fantastic yet possible because each is equally unverifiable, and even more questions. That's it. In other words, they've got nothing. They can blame it on aliens' sneakiness, on the Men in Black, on the (secret) government covering it up; but in the end, they've failed. The book makes it so obvious, you'll feel cheated. So, read it with great interest and then direct your interest somewhere else.

You know, at the end of the 'X-Files' movie we see a spaceship breaking free from below the Earth and flying away. If only there existed UFO pictures half as clear as that shot, we'd all be believers. Don't insult my intelligence by showing me dots and telling me those are alien craft.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but not well researched, April 25, 2005
By 
This book is about the UFO cover-up, detailing Roswell, Hitler's super race, the MJ-12 papers, abductions and general alien encounters. What is really interesting is that in the middle of the book there is a picture of some kind of big huge machine that was supposedly dug up by the military on US government property. It apparently has strange hieroglyphic like writing on it that is not known. Unfortunately the authors didn't do any other research into what this thing is or what happened to it. After some research on my part I wasn't able to find out anything more about it.
