5.0 out of 5 stars To believe in UFO's or Not to Believe, August 1, 2001

To believe in UFO's or not to Believe?

And, if you believe, what can you believe?

There are many good UFO books that are very well researched, and full of facts and information and photos. So much so that it is difficult to dismiss UFO's regardless of our underlying beliefs. But, most of the reports and concepts of UFO's cannot fit with the basic principles of physics -which are the same throughout the universe. Most other books fail to research and offer support in this area rendering their claims less than believable.

What is different and exceptionally interesting and valuable about this book is that it takes a 180 degree turn to review this information from a completely different paradigm - UFO's could be from an alternative dimension. From this multi-dimensional vantage point, many of the odd facts, and abduction and other reports on UFO's fit together better and are more easily accepted. It also touches upon some of the laws of physics to show why these laws are at issue and therefore must be dealt with.

Going a step further, Missler and Eastman then review ancient passages in an attempt to determine if this multi-dimensional paradigm can fit with Jewish, or Christian scriptural beliefs. It appears that their research really pays off well with a different paradigm that supports all of the disparate and anomalous UFO reports.

Of course there have been many speculations regarding various UFO reports, and in turn, Missler/Eastman do make certain leaps in possible interpretations of come biblical passages (which they readily identify as such). But, overall, the paradigm seems to have greater footing than any other UFO model I have read about.

From this book emerges the following: we cannot explain away UFO's - there is just too many reports that cannot be explained; and, most UFO reports do not fit with the principles of physics as we know them.; therefore an alternative paradigm is required in order to better understand UFO phenomena. The Missler / Eastman paradigm seems to best pull the facts together as we believe we know them.

Note for New Agers: Don't avoid this book, or be afraid of it because it concludes with a Christian perspective on UFO. The book is not steeped in "hell fire and brimstone" or sermons. Rather, it is a serious book that takes a deep look at anomalous and challenging UFO phenomena. I would be interested in hearing from others where they objectively see the flaws of this model, as well as what model fits better.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Different Look at UFO's, December 16, 2005

By	James Koenig "konedog" (Minnesota) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

This book postulates that UFO's are an alien phenomenon, but are piloted by "spiritual" aliens, descendants of the fallen angels mentioned in the Nephilim account of Genesis. I have read this theory before in shorter articles, but this book takes the reader step-by-step through the logic and thought process behind the evidences. It is very interesting reading, and presents a completely different theory on UFO's, who is operating them, and what their purpose is in coming to earth. Rather than spoil the book for any potential readers, I will say that the authors present an astounding yet viable explanation for the existance of UFO's, their special physical properties, and the beings that are within the walls of the craft.

Interestingly, the authors provide solid evidence for the existance of UFO's from various sources, including eye-witness accounts from astronauts and jet pilots who have chased UFO's. Once they establish the basis for the existance of UFO's, they begin to reveal their theory. I believe readers will find the evidence presented for the existance of UFO sightings rational and logical. Since the authors then present an alien theory that is unlike any other, the reader may have doubts about their premise, however, it is certainly a feasible explanation for the UFO phenomenon, an explanation that accounts for all the quirks and strangeness associated with UFO's.

I do recommend this book to anyone with an open mind on UFO's. Many of us have preconceived notions on UFO's, and the explanation presented here is so astounding and different that many readers will initially balk at the authors conclusions. As a student of the Bible for many years, I found their conclusions enlightening and certainly feasible, and best of all thoroughly intriging.

5.0 out of 5 stars Luciferian Initiation And The Return Of The Nephilim , February 10, 2006

By	Brian E. Erland "Rainbow Sphinx" (CA - USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Who built the Pyramid of Giza, Stonehenge and the myriad of other amazing structures from the distant past scattered around the globe? Were they built by the same beings that constructed the "face" on the planet Mars? And if they were, does that indicate that they are somehow related to the ongoing UFO sightings and the beings flying them?

Internationally known evangelical Christian and teacher Chuck Missler examines these questions and many more in this in-depth study of one of the most provocative and intriquing subjects found within the pages of the Bible.

Chuck approaches the subject in a multi-disciplinary manner as any good teacher would, incorporating the Protestant understanding of the Biblical text with ancient mythological beliefs and many of the new, far-reaching discoveries and theories of modern science. Hyperspace, multi-dimensionality, myth and legend, along with important archeological findings all merge with the Biblical text revealing a new, expanded understanding of prophecy, fallen angels, celestial and terrestial genetics and the realm of demons.

Yes, this is a Christian book containing the usual evangelical message at the end. Be that as it may, there is alot of valuable information within for the Christian and non-Christian alike.

Note: A condensed version of Chuck Missler's book is also available on VHS video tape and a two audio cassette pack, both listed under the title, 'Return of the Nephilim.'
