A fascinating journey into the realms of UFOs and those who believe in them, and who make us believe. The author explores key elements of modern UFO lore and discusses the hand American intelligence agencies have had in perpetuating these myths. Often the story is complex, with many characters and an alphabet soup of agencies, but Pilkington is able to expertly weave all of this together in an informal writing style that takes you along with him on a journey into the heart of the mythic UFO heartland and its true believers. ( ) Finally, an objective, mature, and well-written attempt to get to the bottom of the UFO phenomenon. Pilkington provides a refreshing context to the lore which has enveloped the ET/UFO-believing community for decades: Roswell, Area 51, Dulce, and alien autopsies, among others. He doesn't dismiss these out of hand. What Pilkington does do is explain the way the government (Air Force, CIA, NSA, etc.) has used and still uses the phenomenon as a cover for its own Black Projects. This is a new take on a subject that's become, well, boring in some respects, and is well worth the read if only for its originality. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Seeking the truth about UFOs in America, Mark Pilkington and John Lundberg uncover a 60 year-old story stranger than any conspiracy thriller. Through the fascinating account of their quest Mark Pilkington reveals the long history of UFOria and its parallels in little known tales from the murky worlds of espionage, psychological warfare and advanced military technology. Along the way he discovers that the truth about flying saucers is stranger and more complex than either the ufologists or debunkers would have us believe. As he crossed the US meeting intelligence agents, disinformation specialists and UFO hunters Pilkington was confronted with a dizzying array of ever more outrageous claims and counter claims. As a result he began to suspect that, instead of covering up stories of crashed flying saucers, alien contacts and secret underground bases, the US intelligence agencies had actually been promoting them all along. Meanwhile he has to deal with his own uncertainties, the suspicions of the UFO community and a partner who is starting to believe that conspiracy theorists might be right after all. With a fresh, funny and objective approach, Pilkington is the ideal guide to steer us through these strange territories, where nothing is quite as it seems and reality is just a matter of managing perceptions.
