The most comprehensive book on several subjects, not only ET's

Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2011

Verified Purchase

I have read dozens of book about the subject and definitively this is the best. What is rare about this book is the many subjects it covers from ET's,astronomy,history, to the involvement and efforts of men to try to understand this complicated issue.

My sincere thanks to Mr. Waeber for his efforts to give us such a valuable information in such a fascinating, easy to read book.

An Important Reference Book with a Metaphysical Perspective

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2007

There is a lot that can be said about this book, both good and bad.

The english translation is not great, with numerous instances of odd grammar and usage and occasional spelling errors. The information in the book is stuff I came across during the nineties when I was more actively involved with interviewing abductees/experiencers/contactees, reading the UFO literature (including some channeled information), and researching the UFO contact phenomenon from a variety of perspectives, all in an effort to determine the number of different alien races interacting with out planet, what they look like, and how they relate to each other. Having a book like this fifteen years ago might have saved me some leg work. However, it is important that the information in Waeber's book not be taken too literally, as it contains some internal contradictions, as well as apparent contradictions with established science in subjects such as biology, physics and planetary history.

The source material for the book is varied and that may be part of the reason for the seeming inconsistencies, as many different systems of nomenclature have emerged for trying to classify the intelligences behind UFOs. The book contains references to contact cases described in the UFO literature, such as Riley Martin's "The Coming of Tan" and Phillip H. Krapf's "The Contact Has Begun," but especially noticeable is a heavy reliance on channeled information, which cannot be corroborated, except in the sense that many different channels seem to get similar information, pointing perhaps to a common source, possibly connected with the intelligence behind the physical phenomenon of UFOs, but without offering us a means of determining veracity.

The book contains several nice pieces of artwork by Yeva, but the printing quality is mediocre and only the cover image is in color. I would have liked to see illustrations for the numerous alien races that are briefly described in the text, as well as for the various stories about alien bases, alien homeworlds and galactic history. However, to do a thoroughly illustrated version of this book would have been a much greater undertaking. If you want a similar book (although without the metaphysical bent) with more illustrations, I would recommend Ronald D. Story's "The Encyclopedia of Extraterrestrial Encounters."

With its metaphysical perspective, this book is in a similar vein to Lyssa Royal's "The Prism of Lyra" and "Visitors From Within." As such, it stimulates thought and is really an essential overview of extraterrestrial races, or at least of the lore that has built up about them. I am grateful that someone has finally taken the time to assemble and publish a book like this. (I know of efforts to do a project like this in the nineties but those did not come to fruition.) I recommend Rolf Waeber's book to any serious student of the UFO phenomenon, but with the caveat that you also consider other approaches to the question of "Who is Who" among our visitors.

Incredible amount of information

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2006

I absolutely disagree with the hate review below by NJ Pinney. Without at least some knowledge concerning extraterrestrials ( modern / ancient ) this book might be perceived by a few readers as somewhat science fictional, but its not. It contains an incredible amount of information, some obviously from a metaphysical viewpoint. I don't think this book is meant to be an easy read, after all it is a catalog, all in alphabetical order, refreshingly accompanied by fascinating alien art and poems. If the reader is not familiar with Ezekiels encounter with "god", unfortunately that poem wouldn't make much sense. The whole biblical event from a ufological perspective. Outstanding! "An Overview of Extraterrestrial Races" is simply a must have for any ET enthusiasts, to have an open mind would be helpful.

Extraterrestrial Races, Who is Who

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2006

This compendium is an excellant resource. I found it quite extensive and informative. I actually found it quite amazing that all this information is known but is officially ignored. For anybody with an interest in the other inhabitants of our universe this book is a must have. I also found the art to be very compelling and wished there was more.

Caveat emptor

Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2006

Be warned about this book. It is a book of lists. It has lists of alien races, starships, mother ships by name, etc. It also includes some radical new ideas about the Bilderbergers and the United States. BUT it does not attach reference sources for any of this information. It leaves much doubt of the authenticity even of the whole book. The author invites feedback so here goes.

When I see something so extreme as this, and if it is scholarly and it covers its bases with reference sources, I am delighted. But with this my hunch says maybe disinformation. Say it's science fiction; then it's okay.

The translation is poor, frequently avoiding idiomatic English. The typesetting is poor with paragraphs neither indented nor line spaced making it a chore to read. The artwork and the poetry is poor. The author uses an arrow at the beginning of some lines with no explanation.

The author is Swiss and I had always thought the Swiss had systematic ways of doing things--but not here. If the author had taken a fraction of his list names and attached references and a bit more of explanatory text and footnotes it might have been a valuable reference--but alas not.

Under the Amazon star rating system, it allows one star as the lowest rating, which I gave it. I would have prefered to give it no star or a black hole instead. This is the first time I have ever thrown a book into the trash. I would not even want to give it away to anyone I respect.

Rolf Waeber bietet mit seinem recht umfangreichen, englischsprachigen Werk eine systematische Übersicht über die Spezies und Wesen, die bis zur Drucklegung (die Ausgabe ist von 2005) laut Angaben von Contactees aus aller Welt bislang - vorwiegend telepathisch - mit Menschen kommuniziert haben.

Ihre Botschaft: Die Menschen der Erde sind eingeladen, Mitglieder einer Galaktischen Gemeinschaft zu werden und am spirituell, sozial und technisch hohen Entwicklungsstand der anderen Völker teilzuhaben. Dem Planeten und der Menschheit steht ein wichtiger Entwicklungsschritt zu einer höheren Daseinsform bevor.
Damit verbunden ist häufig Kritik an der gegenwärtigen Lebensweise der Menschen, insbesondere an Ungerechtigkeit, Krieg, geistiger Bevormundung, Nukleartechnik, rücksichtslosem Umgang mit Mitgeschöpfen und Umweltverschmutzung. Hinzu kommt ein ganzes System esoterischer Denkgebäude.

Abbildungen der behandelten Spezies und Personen sucht man, das ist das größte Manko des Buches, allerdings vergebens; es ist im Grunde ein riesiges Register mit meist sehr knappen Informationen zu jedem Stichwort. Nur jeweils zu Anfang der einzelnen Kapitel findet sich die Schwarzweiß-Version einer künstlerischen Darstellung zum Thema.
Übrigens, das Buch zwar wegen seiner Pappbindung als "Taschenbuch" eingestuft, hat aber mittelgroßes Lexikon-Format (18 x 26,5 cm, 400 Seiten).

Wer sich viel mit Channeling und Alien-Kontakten befasst, findet hier ein sorgfältig erarbeitetes, wertvolles Nachschlagewerk.

Wer sich erst in die Materie einlesen möchte und auf eine bebilderte Einführung ins Thema hofft, wird dagegen enttäuscht und von einer Flut an (gelegentlich einander widersprechenden) Informationen über die exotischsten Wesen samt ihrer angeblich ihrem jeweiligen Medium übermittelten Botschaft (und manchmal auch Familiengeschichte) überschwemmt.

Und wer ein eher wissenschaftliches Interesse am Thema Außerirdische hat, wird die hier gegebenen Informationen als eine Ansammlung von blühenden Phantastereien empfinden, und das Buch befremdet beiseite legen.

Alles in allem: Sehr speziell. Nur wer bereits eine Bibliothek von telepathischen Übermittlungen zum Thema hat und als Ergänzung eine systematische Übersicht der diversen Botschaften und ihrer Urheber sucht, die es erlaubt, sich ein Gesamtbild zu erarbeiten, hat hiermit einen Volltreffer gelandet. Oder wer plötzlich selber (angeblich) von einem solchen Wesen kontaktiert wird und nachsehen möchte, ob und wie die eigene Erfahrung ins Gesamt aller bisherigen Kontakte einzuordnen ist.
