The name of this book is very deceiving. In the first chapter the author recounts the stories of Ezekiel wheel and the Exodus from the bible and how they could have been UFO's. Then for the next several chapters the author tells his own stories of his paranormal experiences. Mostly ghosts, OBE's & NDE's. Although these stories were very interesting and I enjoyed them, that is not why I bought the book. The author however makes up for things near the end of the book, that is when things start to get interesting, very interesting. He talks about little known facts regarding the shroud of Turin and isolated people who will believe that anyone is god. He mentions the missing books of the bible and from the quotes he has listed it is easy to see why. This book was very easy to read and very hard to put down. I really enjoyed it, however I must warn you not to read this book if you don't have an open mind.

David E. Twichell makes the connection between what you think you know about the Bible, UFO's, and Jesus' life and times and what you were always told was so, much more interesting and a lot more exciting! He also adds his own poignant encounter(s) with the unexplained for more than good reason. Twichell's explorations and investigations into the UFO enigma and biblical scholarship will undoubtedly urge any thinking reader to re-examine their own beliefs - and with good reason! Any writer, who can do this, is simply brilliant and Twichell is no exception.

David E. Twichell is surely to be added to the growing list of luminaries who has bloomed out the once "old staunch mid-west" view of the world. This surprising new view which Twichell embodies is breathing fresh air onto the ever-explanding landscape of inner / outer exploration, enlightenment and personal core knowledge.

The UFO - Jesus Connection is a most splendid adventure and well worth the readers' time and investment. I highly recommend this book to you. The UFO-Jesus Connection will challenge what you think know and you will come away knowing what you never thought was so!

I bought this book to add to my research of ETs in the Bible, but this book is not what the Title promises. It's just a rather short compilation of essays from the author about the possible connection, with just a few scriptures. I have seen way better through other authors who make the argument better through highlighting more scriptures. The concept is real though, but this author falls short on proving it.

Fascinated by the topic, I devoured this book in less than two hours, but it was quite unsatisfying. Mr. Twichell deserves credit for floating his ideas out there, but the book reads like a high schooler's essay drawn from only a handful of Internet sources. There's no magic behind the curtain, only a feeling of emptiness. The book suffers from too much unsubstantiated speculation, too many irrelevent personal asides about family, and not enough first-hand research and investigation. The author begins by asking the right questions, but unfortunately never successfully or substantively draws us closer to a single answer. If you're looking for substance and a scholarly approach, seek out the masters, Erich Von Daniken and Zecharia Sitchin.
