I wanted to give this book 4 stars, but it's just too factual. Don't get me wrong, I love the cold, hard facts, but I need some anecdotes from time to time. Either way, it's a solid book and a worthwhile read. Highly recommended.

Above Good: the very best work in the field, ever

Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2010

Timothy Good's iconic 1987 book "Above Top Secret: the worldwide UFO Cover-up" is a classic of the genre and one of a very small number of books on the subject to break through into the mainstream. It became a global best-seller in the late 1980s and gained widespread coverage in the international mass media. After more than 20 years this book remains substantial and relevant, an object lesson in how to investigate the subject thoroughly and report facts clearly and concisely whilst avoiding undue speculation or extravagant claims.

The book's title comes from the results of the author's research into the black world of intelligence agencies in the USA, the UK and other nations, including the Soviet Union (still very much intact in the 1980s). In the rising hierarchy of secrecy, "Confidential" is succeeded by "Secret" and then "Top Secret". Then there are the "Above Top Secret" files, whose existence is not admitted, where access is on a strictly need-to-know basis and which are always exempt from FOIA disclosure on grounds of "National Security" because they're not even supposed to exist. It is at this level, Good discovered, that the UFO/ET issue is managed by governments and their security services: in the USA the subject has always, since the 1950s, been classified higher than the hydrogen bomb. From his original 1987 book title, "Above Top Secret" entered the language and has been co-opted by conspiracists of every hue and persuasion - but you heard it here first.

The author focuses on hundreds of encounter reports from witnesses of the highest credibility: military and civilian pilots, radar operators and other senior military and intelligence-world personnel, and on FOIA-released documents (most reproduced in full) attesting to the reality of the phenomenon and to frequent military encounters with UFOs. The focus is truly global with whole chapters on credible UFO reports from Canada, Chile, Australia, Brazil, The USSR, China, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain. There are whole chapters on how the DIA, the CIA and NASA manage the UFO "problem" and a final chapter on alleged ET-technology crash-retrievals.

If the book can be faulted at all, it is only in that large numbers of incidents forensically reported and catalogued page after page makes for a sometimes dry narrative and requires effort and persistence from the reader. The author sticks to the facts and avoids undue speculation or florid language. It's useful to regard this book as an essential work of reference rather than lightweight, page-turning recreational reading.

The case builds from compelling to conclusive: on finishing the book the reader will understand why, subsequent to its publication, Tim Good was invited to The Pentagon to discuss the UFO issue, asked to work as a paid consultant for several US Congressional investigations and became the first western Ufologist to be interviewed on Russian TV following the collapse of the soviet regime in 1989. He also enjoyed the confidence of many highly placed individuals in the world's defence establishments and cultivated many contacts inside the intelligence services.

"Above Top Secret" was such a big seller that it saw several editions in both hardcover and paperback, in many languages. Get hold of one of the hardcover printings if you can: they all contain the original photographs and in addition to the 440-pages of text, 100+ pages of appendices of mainly FOIA-released documents are included in full.

ATS was updated, expanded and re-published as "Beyond Top Secret" in 1996 and, after complete revision with a lot of new material, as "Need to Know" in 2006. These books are essential reading for anyone interested in the UFO issue and in particular the world-wide governmental cover-up of the subject.

Such an influential and important book, which has stood the test of time so well and introduced so many to the seriousness of the subject matter, must be awarded five stars.

A Mixed Bag- No Smoking Guns Here

Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2000

Good delivers up some tempting morsels in a book that attempts to cover the government angle of the UFO controversy. The American Defense Intelligence Agency chapter is excellent, and so is the CIA and Iron Curtain countries coverage.
Unfortunately, some of the other stuff seems composed of hearsay and wishful thinking: the NASA/Apollo sections in particular seem to be more suited to a made for TV movie than a serious discussion of government secrecy or disinformation activities. The Majestic 12 papers (the Rosewell "crash")in the appendix were pretty much proven to be fraudulent (traced to an Air Force intelligence operatrive's typewriter) even at the time this book was published.
While I would recommend this book to the reader, I also recommend taking the contents with a grain of salt.

If you have any interest in UFOs, get this book and you won't be disappointed. Its jam packed with the history of government involvement with the topic. No UFO library is complete without it.

A must read in the subject of ufo's and extraterrestrials

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2000

Timothy Good is a known reasearcher in the field of UFO's. This book describes many cases and evidence that we have been being visited for a long time. The book is easy to read and the great majority of the cases presented are very detailed, including locations, names etc. Anybody reading this book would be at least puzzled and probably would be pressed to know even more about the subject.

Good research but a little naive

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 2, 2019

Timothy Good writes clearly and his research cannot be faulted. he presents lots of documentation to support his ideas and makes a strong case for the theory that the earth is being visited by ETs.
However, many anecdotes come from security services which may have an alternative agenda and I found myself wondering how far Mr good was being strung along by those in the know. Like so many of the early periodicals dedicated to flying saucers, one gets the impression this book is feeding us a narrative which may be convenient for those in power. This is just a gut reaction of course, but I felt there were more more questions to be asked than Mr good was delivering, So my main criticism is that he accepts information rather too naively and should be more critical of his sources - especially when they've worked in such sensitive areas of government.
I enjoyed this book, it covers the main events from the last seventy years, and has the tone of a gentleman rather than a sensationalist. While the likes of Steven Greer disappear into fantasy and the occult, Timothy Good keeps his feet on the ground and hits the right note.

I wasn't sceptical about UFOs, I KNEW they didn't exist. Well, until I read this book, at least.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 28, 2013

The book makes very interesting reading and fairly early on there is a submission from Air Chief Marshal, Lord Hugh Dowding, the man mainly responsible for ensuring the Battle of Britain was not won by the Luftwaffe, that starts: -
"More than 10,000 sightings have been reported, the majority of which cannot be accounted for by any "scientific" explanation, e.g. that they are hallucinations, the effects of light refraction, meteors, wheels falling from airplanes, and the like.... They have been tracked on radar screens... and the observed speeds have been as great as 9,000 miles an hour...I am convinced that these objects do exist and that they are not manufactured by any nation on earth."
If this isn't going to make you sit up and take notice...
Most of the developed world's governments certainly take the subject extremely seriously. Case after case is recorded chronologically, starting with Great Britain. Pilots of military aircraft are highly trained in observation and are not noted for their flights of fancy. During the Battle of Britain the lives of these young men depended on their powers of observation. Based on their ability to overcome the overpowering numbers stacked against them several times a day, I think it safe to say that these men were as aware of what was going on around them as it is possible to be. Yes, luck, both good and bad, played a part for many, but their heightened level of awareness (plus some bloody good aeroplanes) had them win the day for their country. These are not the kind of people who are going to make up fairy tales about what they saw in the air!
If you have a closed mind, please don't read this book, you will be much better continuing to complacently allow the BBC/ Daily Mail or other mainstream media form your opinion of world events as 'Free Thinking' is not part of the syllabus in today's society' agenda. On the other hand...

Above Top Secret is amazing UFO book by Timothy Good. This was his first book in 1987, Became great best UFO seller. Timothy interviews Witnesses, Astronauts, Military & Intelligence Specialists, Pilots, Politicians and even Scientists into UFO's. Timothy Good also became interested in the subject in 1955, After reading a book by Major Donald Keyhoe describing UFO sightings. This is by far his most popular book. Worth a read.
