Book Review: UFOs: Myths, Conspiracies, and Realities by John B. Alexander Ph.D.

Blogmaster’s note: Special thanks to John Alexander’s publicist Stephen Lee of St. Martin’s Press, for rushing me a review copy of the book!

The Secretary of Innovation (SoI) is all about sharing information. This is why this election season we will seek out two new high-profile columnists — one for, and one against the incumbent President. Our readers can then decide what to think — you won’t find an unwise echo chamber of group-think here.

In the study of UFOs (UFOlogy) the same data many times yields different conclusions. Well meaning people can and do have disagreements.

The book I am about to recommend is sure to spark some heated debate amongst the three groups of folks I’ve encountered in my travels down the [figurative] extraterrestrial highway:

Those who claim there is no extraterrestrial (ET)* presence, in spite of mountains of credible evidence to the contrary.
People who acknowledge an ET presence that the US government has been actively covering up.
Those who believe in the ET presence, but deny any substantive official US government involvement in a cover-up and covert management thereof.

The above is an oversimplification of what is a complex web of truth, half-truth, disinformation and misinformation. It has taken me a lifetime to see through the smoke and mirrors — and I could still be wrong.

* Debate still rages on as to whom the UFO occupants are: space, time, or interdimensional travelers? Two-out-of-three? All of the above?
