- Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2017UPDATE: I recently noticed Bill Tompkins' obituary, and that he died unexpectedly while he continued to
speak out in regard to the ET influence over our planet. Bill was an American patriot who was likely murdered for his
attempts to alert the American people to the fact that highly advanced races of beings are monitoring us.
So many UFOlogist government whistleblowers have met with the same fate. Bill was a fascinating man
with some amazing accomplishments, who spoke the truth and likely paid for it by losing his life.
May he rest in peace and may his family find comfort in knowing that Bill did his best to expose
the existence of various alien species.
Earlier...
Bill Tompkins has given us the smoking gun in the ET conspiracy to control humanity. And he is already being aggressively discredited by the powers that be, for having done so.
This reader has been interested in Ufology and the ET phenomenon for many years, however, it is only over the past decade that I have been actively investigating it for my own edification.
I have read many credible books on this subject, including the investigative works regarding UFOs written by the late Major Donald Keyhoe (the true Father of Ufology).
I have found Major Keyhoe's works in particular, to be of extreme importance in understanding
just how pervasive myriad species of alien races are within our own galaxy, as well as the planet Earth itself.
More specifically, for those within our own species who still believe the antiquated notion that the human race is the highest form of intelligence in the cosmos, they are in for a rude awakening; since the human race is more than likely a hybridized species, created by advanced races of beings who are technologically superior to us in every imaginable way.
William Tompkins' "SELECTED BY EXTRATERRESTRIALS" is an extremely provocative work which
melds science with what most people would describe as the paranormal. To say that Tompkins' experiences
have been extraordinary is indeed an understatement.
If his accounts are true, and this reader believes that they are, then Bill Tompkins is the real father of the
U.S. NASA space program (not Dr. Wernher Von Braun). Moreover, Tompkins has given us some invaluable insights into who we are as a species, while helping to confirm what millions of Americans have believed for more than a half century: That the U.S. Military Industrial Intelligence complex has not only known that myriad alien species exist, but that many of them come from other star systems.
And moreover, that this complex has been deceiving the American people since the late 1940s (even earlier than the Roswell NM UFO incident of 1947), and that many of the government agencies (CIA, NSA, DIA etc.) which found their genesis in the years directly following World War II, were specifically created to learn more about who these alien species are, where they come from, and what their interests in the human race and planet earth are.
Perhaps the most interesting points that Tompkins makes are that various forms of alien species are not only telepathic, but also able to alter matter as well as move through space and time. He also describes how certain of these species can assume human form and even remotely access the minds of unsuspecting humans (possibly even completely taking control of their bodies) for the purpose of manipulating their thoughts and actions.
The NSA's use of signals intelligence based remote neural monitoring technology - which allows for the interfacing of a person's brain with artificial intelligence computers via the electromagnetic spectrum (Google Akwei VS NSA) - is obviously based on the NSA's utilization of reverse engineered alien technology, which the agency has been illegally and secretly using on the American people since the 1960s.
Tompkins also describes the US Military's concerns about UFOs and alien beings and the Military's rush to
create advanced space based weapons, which could be used to defend the planet Earth against an ET threat to our civilization.
The reader should keep in mind that this secret program was taking place while the U.S. Military Intelligence complex was denying that UFOs existed, and using their furtive control over the US media to discredit any person who either claimed to have seen a UFO or been abducted by one.
This book is an excellent read and one which you will find difficult to put down. It is written by someone who has the gravitas - based on the body of evidence he presents regarding his time working for several
government think tanks - to confirm the allegations made by millions of people from around this planet ; those who have not only suffered both physical and psychological harm as the result of being abducted by UFO craft, but also public ridicule in an attempt to destroy their credibility.
SELECTED BY EXTRATERRESTRIALS is highly recommended!
Thanks to Bill Tompkins and Robert Wood for having the courage to have put this important written work
together, in an effort to alert the human race to the abject deceptions that we have and continue to be subjected to by those in power.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2016I highly recommend this book, mainly as it is a personal account of inside info related to our Moon and Apollo program, and how this guy influenced them so much. Also, his amazing secretaries who were so smart they gave him ideas to make the Moon program work. Occasionally, the frank sexual talk they seemed to do with him, (or maybe it was telepathic) seemed inappropriate in a workplace. These days, he could say they were sexually harassing him! He was apparently loyal to his wife , in spite of these seductive Nordic Fleet female aliens, who wanted us to catch up to their technology so we could ally with them in space wars against the bad aliens. Also, there were bad guys infiltrating our space program, trying to make things fail. He made a daring run to see von Braun, and gave him ideas needed to make things work, but later got fired for secretly doing it. Yet, it saved the Moon program. He worked for Naval Intelligence as well as many Think Tanks and had high supervisor jobs in many aspects of weapons systems, as well. At the end, he says he saw the first moon landing before it was edited for the public, LIVE, from a remote location with the company he worked for. contracted under NASA, and there were alien ships! They some told the astronauts they were trespassing, and after a few more moon trips, we had to cancel the rest. Key moon astronauts were all high Freemasons, but I think he said that in a You Tube video. The book is tedious to read in some ways, as it can be repetitive as well as very technical, but, if this is a true account at all (it does sound like science fiction at times), it is important for the historical record he is presenting, mixed in with his own experiences and interpretations. For that reason, I can only say, if true, it blew my mind. Yes, Star Trek is real, as I have been beginning to suspect. On the other hand, perhaps due to his intelligence work, it is disinformation, too? Greer thinks all aliens are good. Who knows what they heck is really going on? This book will get you thinking out of the normal box, that is for sure.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2020The biggest mystery in this book for me is why Tomkins didn't hire an editor, and why Robert Wood or Redfern didn't advise him to do so! There are so many cut and paste errors resulting in repetitive paragraphs, discursive writing, misuse of words, and general disorganization that results in a huge disservice to this man's testimony and has the effect of casting doubt on the credibility of his experiences. For $1500 (maybe a tad bit more) an editor could have gotten in here and helped him focus on the essentials of his testimony that readers would be most interested in hearing about,and scale it down toward clarity and interest.
But in the current state, you have to weed through paragraphs of jargon, rabbit trails, confusion of the general timeline, etc. to find the theme of his story. I can put up with some of the self-aggrandizing commentary and some of the hi-tech discussion about rocketry, engineering and the various technical configurations that he included in here, because it does lend credibility to his story and certainly shows that the man was deeply involved in the various Air Force, NASA, and assorted Navy space projects that are cited. But, at least go back into the manuscript and eliminate the double pasted sentences and paragraphs.
To release anyone's writing in the condition that this book is in, is the very thing that would cause a reader to disbelieve the authenticity of the author's statements. Is it possible that Robert Wood is actually working for the deep dark state, whose task as the "editor" was to purposely leave this writing in the condition that it's in as a means of creating doubt? I can't really think of any other reason that the person responsible for editing a book would release it in what seems to be an initial draft stage.

Stephan F.Reviewed in Germany on December 21, 20235.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!
This book is a must have for everyone being interested in the UFO Subject and gives a lot of information about the secret space programs.
The book goes absolutely conform with information given in other books and what's most important: everything David Grush told in the recent Congress hearing, years after the book was already written. The Author is absolutely credible and underlines his statements with a lot of pictures. The only thing to critisice is maybe a little too much information about how sexy the secretaries have been, which goes way to much into details. In this case a little less would have been better, given not the impression of softporn.
But well, sex sells and despite that it's worth reading and helps a lot giving confirmation to the recent UFO/ Black Project cover up!
Aparajit K RReviewed in India on November 28, 20215.0 out of 5 stars Must read for anyone who wants to know what's actually going on this planet!
One of the most important books in recent history about a person who has worked in top-secret thinktanks throughout his life. Though Mr. Tompkins hasn't offered photo evidence of his work with Nordic alien secretaries in the Douglas think-tank and in TRW, his resume provided is highly credible which makes you think all this could be true. Also Tompkins has no reason to lie at the age of over 90, and if he wanted to lie could have easily said he only through his own intelligence was responsible for the Apollo missions and not said about the help he received from the nordic aliens. The book is a bit of a slog though with a lot of anachronisms, repeated information and so on. Also the information regarding the sexy nature of the secretaries plus other sex related stuff that took place in the think-tanks serve as a distraction to the real point that aliens or gods are controlling our planet with their agendas. I will attach few of my favorite quotes from the first book which have a lot of ramifications.
1. " I'm not a little girl,Billy. If I wanted to, I could de-atomize us both walk right through that
f***ing tank wall and pull you through with me."
This quote is from Jessica, Tompkins secretary who says she can dematerialise and teleport. Basically saying she has godly powers.
2. These quotes suggest the meeting between nordic good aliens and president Eisenhower did really take place in 1954.
(i) "Pull the minutes of President Eisenhower's meeting with the nordics on February 20,1954 at
Edwards. They suggested what you need to do."
(ii)
Jessica said," Surprise,surprise; you guys are finally understanding there are thousands of
different others in this sector of the galaxy alone"
"Yes", Cliff said,"I got one of Bill's flashes that one of the four-star Admirals in full dress
uniform was educating Ike at Edwards's. You're in the Nordic Navy too?"
Jessica pulled her standard answer,"I won't tell."
3. These set of quote suggests the good aliens agenda of helping in our technologies to get us out of our planet.
Jessica's quote: (She teleported from another place not on Earth I guess to Earth during this sudden conversation)
"And William, that was where you could have really contributed to what you guys must do.
Get off your f***ing planet and help us straighten out the rest of your f***ed-up galaxy!"
Tompkins's quote:
"But you Jessica; how can you take this cold in that short,sleeveless mini?"
Jessica's quote:
" But don't change the subject; what are you thinking, playing architect in the woods when the whole
planet still is under the f***ing control of those grays and reptilians and they're pushing it
back into the dark ages?"
4. Tompkins being slipped into the mind of Jessica few months after an incident took place where Jessica
fell on the ground of a splintered floor in a wooden hangar. Tompkins basically had access to the conversation Jessica had with her boss and exposed her real name and purpose on earth.
" Samantha; you are Jessica now; on Earth, their third planet out; remember? Well, now I seem
too? It's clearing up a little now. Good. You are lieutenant Samantha Erickson of the Nordic Galactic
Navy,NAVSPACE 1239 Reagan. You have been assigned a mission to pull those Earth people up technically."
5. Revealing what many researchers have speculated about the piri reis map that it was created long time back.
"Well little boy Billy, those maps were made before the last ice age", Jessica said.
"Cliffy,you look again and study those coast lines as they are now and compare Dr.Klemperer's copy
of the Admiral's land mass charts and flop a copy down of pre-Ice Age contents. They are ancient
anyway;you can cover it up."
The fact that Bill Tompkins had photographic memory and managed to remember all these conversations he had when he was young make his account very authentic and thus I request everybody to have a look at what this highly credible man has to say on his life.

MarcelloReviewed in Italy on September 27, 20215.0 out of 5 stars Testo importante ma...
L'autore chiaramente è un testimone credibile di esperienze fondamentali se si vuole comprendere la storia di certe implicazioni governative ed industriali. In alcuni tratti sembra divagare e ripetersi.
