Unidentified Flying Objects: Starcraft (Paperback)

~ Der Voron (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This book is dedicated to the problem of Unidentified Flying Objects, or Starcraft, to the existence of Extraterrestrials, and to the problem of creation of starcraft here on the Earth. Unidentified Flying Objects, or Starcraft, are referred to as flying devices made by other worlds' civilizations. When we say "flying devices," we certainly don't mean observations of meteorites, planets, asteroids, etc., as well as false reports. We mean, namely, flying devices that don't fall down like meteorites and that don't need to fly all along not to fall down like aircraft. Devices that can fly at speeds much greater than those of aircraft, and that are not the play of imagination like taking a planet for a flying object. Alas, cases when a person wants to "get personal advertising" by telling that he or she saw a UFO then and there. In this book we assume that Extraterrestrials and starcraft exist, and the entire book is based upon this assertion

1.0 out of 5 stars Save Your Money, December 7, 2002

By	Roger E. Herman (Greensboro, NC USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

As a book reviewer, I enjoy contact with a wide variety of authors who would like me to review their books. If I have an interest in the subject, I'll accept a review copy, but without any guarantee that I'll review it. No guarantees: it's an ethical thing.

The author contacted me about this book, several times. Having a long-term passing interest in UFOs and extra-terrestrials, I agreed to take a look at the book. My first temptation, as I began my review process, was to discard Voron's book and move on to the other books that await me. However, in the interest of fairness and as an alert to readers in this genre, I'll give you my perspective.

The book was produced by PublishAmerica. There is no publisher's address or phone number in the book, merely a statement that they're in Baltimore. [Checking their website, which also has no address, I discovered that they're really closer to Frederick, Maryland.] This book is barely a step above self-publishing, and I've seen self-published books put together considerably better than this one is. The table of contents doesn't even have page numbers to find the chapters.

To take any book on this topic seriously, we need to know something about the author, the author's perspective, and the methodology involved in putting the manuscript together. None of that information is provided. No, not even a page telling us who Der Veron is. We have a validity problem going in.

The book describes various UFO stories, relates media accounts, and cites reports by pilots and officials. The only position I was able to discern in the book is that the author believes that UFOs and extraterrestrials exist. The writing lacks consistency, clarity, and even accurate grammar. PublishAmerica's editorial work was insufficient.

The book is filled with assumptions that seem to go far beyond the scholarly work done in this field. Conjecture is mixed with creative science fiction, delivering a garbled message that is inconsistent and poorly organized. If you're looking for a solid manuscript on this topic, look somewhere else.

[Sorry, Mr. or Ms. Veron. You're probably not excited about this review, but this is the risk you take when you publish a book and ask for a reviewer's opinion.]

3.0 out of 5 stars Well-researched but not well-argued, February 18, 2003

By	Simon Jones (Northampton United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

As writer for futurefacing.com I too was invited by Der Voron to review his book.

`Based on the premise that starcraft exist', Der presumably hasn't concentrated on trying to convert sceptics, but use the evidence to speak for itself. The global and historical nature of its accounts from Egyptian hieroglyphics (allegedly portraying starcraft) to the present day, makes the book extensive and enlightening. Handy for anyone wishing to study Ufology from a wide perspective without having to leaf through countless books.

However, from a sceptical viewpoint, the accounts are not assessed fully enough to provide reasoned argument on the existence of starcraft. Despite this, when combined there is enough evidence within the book to warrant further investigation.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect read, December 8, 2002

By	Anthony Martin (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews

Nice book on UFOs, in every aspect. I would recommend it to everyone. Some of most captivating things in this book:

Chapter VI describing biological/genetic engineering of humans by the aliens;
Chapter VIII showing apparent ancient nuclear blast damage, in a number of archaeological sites from Scotland to the Sahara; and
Chapter IX dedicated to secret US government research on alien starcraft.
