Excellent book

I think he makes an excellent case here.

Aliens & UFOs: Messengers or Deceivers

I was interested in reading this book mainly because I haven't seen anything out there that matched my belief in who and what the UFO's really are. I was completly take in and blown away by this book. The stories are very interesting and the people are not the so called nut cases that many think are the kinds that see these things, some are pillars in their community and clergy. I don't mind his relegious take on matters, I just think the most important thing is he is the most spot on person I have heard thus far on the subject of UFO's and he give good reason for us to believe in what he is trying to tell us. Anyone will and Should enjoy this book if they read it from cover to cover, not just skipped through it. Great Read could not put it down! Loved it!

Having surveyed the evidence, this book's conclusion is compelling

Although this book is written from a specific LDS Christian veiwpoint, it takes a very broad view of the subject matter. I am fairly well read on the subject of UFOs, and the author cites many of the books I have read along with unique accounts from original sources, some of which are fascinating and shed new light on the subject. The book begins by laying a groundwork of what revealed scripture has to say concerning life on other planets. With this framework in mind, the author begins the journey into the contemporary body of work regarding UFO sightings, as well as the very creepy 'night abductions' which have been so well documented in books by Whitley Strieber, Bud Hopkins, et al. After all of the evidence has been surveyed, the author attempts to make some sense of it. Anybody who has read the literature will know that the UFO phenomenon simply does not fit into the scenario of 'spacemen' exploring our planet - There is a very spooky aspect which begs for some kind of alternate explanation. The author manages to provide this explanation with a mind-blowing conclusion. What makes this book so different from the other ones I have read on the subject is that the author uses the anchor of revealed religious truth to inform his conclusion. Other authors without similar underpinings can only report on the phenomenon without being able to make sense of the big picture. I have read this book several times and recommend it to anyone who wants to know what is going on with UFOs. Finally, let met add that anybody who thinks that the subject of UFOs is based on a hoax has their head burried in the sand, and they are welcome to whatever comfort that may provide.

Must read!

The author does an excellent job at presenting ALL sides of each issue, and let's the reader decide for his/her self. Anyone who believes in Aliens needs to read this in order to discover what they really are!

Pretty Good

Very good theories, stories. I was quite disturbed about the one with the woman who has the continuous visitor -- I felt it could've been better explained why it keeps going on.
