5.0 out of 5 stars Hard work and it shows!, October 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: UFO Cover-up: What the Government Won't Say (Paperback)

Greenwood and Fawcett really put their time into this book. Greenwood began investigating UFOs as a 12 year old boy and has spent thousands of hours and a good deal of money hunting for UFO and allied stories all over the country and the world. In addition, he has been a consultant to numerous journalists and Tv and Film producers. Self-taught, Greenwood is comparable to any scholar in the field. This book should be a part of any serious researcher's library.It is not sensational, but it IS solidly researched!

5.0 out of 5 stars UFO Freedom of Information Secrets, September 17, 2010

This review is from: UFO Cover-up: What the Government Won't Say (Paperback)

With UFO books it is difficult to know sometimes whether what is written is objective or not. This book, originally released as Clear Intent: The Government Coverup of the Ufo Experience in 1984 draws on information obtained under the freedom of information act. In the introduction, Prof J.A. Hynek, for decades a debunker/disinformation agent for the forces of UFO secrecy, declares: "For the government to continue to maintain that UFOs are nonexistent in the face of the documents already released and of other cogent evidence presented in this book is puerile and in a sense an insult to the American people." That's a bit much to take from Prof Hynek who himself declared in Major Tacker's wretched Flying Saucers And The U. S. Air Force that "almost all of the reports ... can be most logically be identified with misidentification of some object - balloons, birds, aircraft, etc." and elsewhere declared that UFOs were misidentified stars and planets in the sky. Instead of attacking the government he should have taken a look at his own actions perhaps.

Some of the agencies featured in this book: CIA, OSI, NSA, CIC, FBI. Apparently in 1976 the NSA's Information Officer declared that the NSA "does not have Any interest in UFOs in Any manner". This book shows how the CIA leaked out that the NSA is in fact interested in UFOs. Some other topics include OSI interest in the Paul Bennewitz case, the Rendlesham forest incident and CIA infestation of NICAP.

Overall, a well written, ground-breaking classic!

3.0 out of 5 stars UFO Cover Up Avoids Human Nuclear Problem, February 2, 2007

By 

Space Intelligences "SI's" - See all my reviews

This review is from: UFO Cover-up: What the Government Won't Say (Paperback)

UFO CoverUp (UFOCU) explores US government/military documents under the Freedom of Information / Disinformation Act related to Unhuman Flying Objects (UFO's).

It is best suited for readers who rely on the "official" side of the UFO phenomenon.

In UFOCU there are hints that UFO's pose a very real threat to US national security.

Example (Chapter 14, page 220, item 9):

"UFO activity over some US military and government facilities has been of such a sensational dramatic NATURE that a definite threat to US national security is considered a fact within the highest levels of government. (This scenario also applies to foreign governments.)"

However, nowhere in UFOCU is the conclusion made that

Human Serpentine Deviationism

in the form of nuclear weapons and other super unnatural forces

is a definite threat to the Life of Mother Earth and Her many wonderful pagan Natural inhabitants...

I recommend this book to anyone interested in the censored "official" version of UFO's.

It goes slightly into some ghastly details of unfriendly UFO visits, such as cattle mutilations, but probably intentionally avoids embarassment of the government and ruling New World Order about possible correlations between government syndicated war criminal operations and appearance of UFO's, near Top Security military installations such as NORAD (North American Air Defense) or SAC (Strategic Air Command) bases in Colorado and Montana, or around mad scientist atomic nuclear occult laboratories at Oak Ridge, Nevada and New Mexico.

I can only give UFOCU a three star rating because it does not explore the Nature survival versus human military issue related to UFO visits.

It is full-of-facts but low on drawing and exposing important implications.
