4.0 out of 5 stars Worth your time, January 21, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Time Storms (Paperback)

Randles cranks out so many books that it's difficult to take any of them seriously. This one, like most of the others, treads a fair amount of ground that others have previously trod. The notion that UFOs may be time travelers from our own "future" (whatever that may mean) has long been a staple of ufology (although not one of the "favored" theories) and certainly has an intrinsic appeal -- for example, it would account for the fact that an awful lot of the "aliens" seem distinctly humanoid. Here, Randles isn't suggesting that all UFOs are time travelers. She is suggesting that there may be a rare atmospheric phenomenon with "time-warping" properties that may account for a number of anomalistic experiences in which space and time seem to be affected, from "time slips" to some Near Death Experiences to certain types of UFO experiences -- in other words, that people who have these experiences literally DO time-travel thanks to this "time storm" phenomenon. By the same token, some UFOs may be indeed be popping into our reality from the future via time storms. Randles' body of work strikes me as almost schizophrenic -- one moment she's practically a debunker of some case or phenomenon that seems reasonably well-established by reasonably credible evidence (crop circles, for example), and the next she's ready to formulate theories on the basis of evidence that seems shaky at best. This book strikes me as another example of how a familiarity with the "new physics" can serve as a launching pad for just about any sort of speculation in which you might care to engage, even though the "new physics" is too speculative in its own right to serve as a very stable launching pad. I guess we should appreciate an author like Randles who is willing to do her thinking in public, even if it makes her appear as though she's all over the map. In any event, this book is highly readable food for thought, and I certainly wouldn't discourage anyone from buying it. There is no question that time is one of the ultimate mysteries.

This review is from: Time Storms (Paperback)

This book makes a convincing case that Time Travel is not only possible, But that it may be Taking Place Frequently around the world. These fascinating ancedotes are the Meat of the book, And they all have a common element : "A Peculiar Energy Cloud" that can Transport People and very often Their Vehicles across some Unknown Dimension. Time Storms are a Scientific Reality that we do not understand yet. Presented without nonsense and In A Scientific Frame Of Mind.

3.0 out of 5 stars Thought-provoking and very entertaining, January 1, 2003

This review is from: Time Storms (Paperback)

"Time Storms" is a brisk, thought-provoking, and thoroughly arresting re-examination of the UFO enigma. Randles argues that some atmospheric anomalies, thought by many to represent alien visitors, are in truth natural phenomena that displace space and time. Randles rounds out her thesis with chapters on synchronicity, theoretical physics, and abundant casefiles. Randles' book is a model assessment of contemporary forteana that raises fascinating questions. Also recommended: "Visitors from Time" by Marc Davenport, "The Holographic Universe" by Michael Talbot, and "Electric UFOs" by Albert Budden.
