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 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.

"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.

OK book, good concept, but somewhat lacking. Lots of short stories and retelling of events, but no research, or concrete conclusions. It reminded me of books Brad Steiger wrote several years ago. Same old material, different spin.

If you are into UFO books, you will likely enjoy this read. I think that I was expecting something a little more akin to synchronicity or reality-changers.

I have read many of Jenny's books and found all very interesting. In fact, when I wrote "Secrets in the Fog: the Invisibility Project" now in p/b on Amazon.com, my characters discussed "The Time Storm" in detail in Chapter 19 when they were researching the black fog, comparing it to Jenny's glowing mist. My novel's characters were also impressed with Jenny's detailed research.

This is a compilation of different stories that can be linked to time travel. The stories them selves are interesting but in between there is a lot of comments by the author that is frankly very boring to read. Mostly just her opinion about stuff, no real research was done. The author seems to hate UFO believers and ridicules them every chance she gets. This was an interesting book but because of the author inappropriate comments on ufoligists and the ufo field in general I will not buy another of her books. This book was called "Time Storms", not "I Don't Believe in UFO so nobody else should either"

Well, what a change from Jenny. The arguments and proposals for Time travel are understandable, but the dichotomy of views in the UFO area is frankly disappointing. Jenny, once a champion UFOlogist has either been `got at' or has had a change of direction after more than 25 years preaching her beliefs. The impact of her new book has been diluted by her change of belief. This is still an interesting book, but all credibility has now been lost
