An excellent 20th century history of UFO encounters

Ignore people that write "reviews" whining about not having enough pictures (I think they're the type that looks at pictures and big print and aren't capable of really reading a book or perhaps can't comprehend something like this). This is an excellent book and presents a lot of great information on military encounters with UFO's from the Second World War onward in one volume. Some of the information has been presented before? Big deal. This volume puts in one handy reference and shows the collusion of government, militaries (not just the corrupt U.S. government and military) to withhold and deny from the people the truth of extra-terrestrial life and visitions to our world. All in the name of they know better than the people do, the same reasoning that sticks us with the electoral college in presidential elections. Maybe they're afraid of this truth's effect on religions (most of which preach obedience to government to keep their tax exempt status and wealth) or the smug assumption that humans are the highest evolved life form in the universe and our technology is the best. We aren't and it isn't. Any lingering doubts I may have had regarding the extistence of extra-terrestrial life, visitions to this planet from other worlds, and the duplicity of the government in keeping those facts secret were blown away by this excellent book. The facts presented here cannot be disputed, despite the whining of a childish few want more pictures because they're too lazy to read. Mr. Good has done a tremdendous service to people with this book, and his other published works. I highly recommend it.

Comprehensive

If you ever had a doubt about flying saucers being real, and the government cover up, read this book. There will be no doubt. As well, this book clearly gives the Reasons why the government doesn't want the public to know the truth, and the Truth to boot. A great read, jampacked, and a reference book to keep!

Very informative

Very important information on how the military operates in the dark. The author was clear and precise. The evidence of America working with aliens is documented. It is a very essential publication. Read it and learn from it. S. Mahdi, Cairo, Egypt

Scared the heck out of me

I am just about finished. An incessant read. Earlier reviewers slam him for using old information etc. don't listen to them. This book will absolutely blow your mind. It is interesting that the slammers don't challenge any of the data in the volume, nor the seemingly incredible stories which are well documented with official paperwork. The fact our government continues to remain mum is disheartening evidence that democracy as set down by the founding fathers has been suspended since 1947. When the powers that are created to protect us see fit to continuously lie, covering up a secret that enriches the few, those powers ceased to be esteemed as for the better. The later is my thought on the matter. Mr Good renders no such judgment in his work. He merely lays out all the information. Truly an important work.

More Than You Think You Know

Probably more books have been written in the past 60 years on the captivating and mysterious phenomena of flying saucers, now referred to as UFOs, than on any other single topic. Their continuing and increasing presence in the skies over planet Earth have led many researchers to undertake closer examinations of the documented reports much of which were closely held by official government agencies and later leaked or declassified.. The current release of NEED TO KNOW: UFOs, The Military, and Intelligence, by Timothy Good, is his seventh book on the subject. NEED TO KNOW is particularly noteworthy in that it builds on his previous works while disclosing new information gleaned from government documents, Air Force personnel and credible witnesses. Its 430 pages lead the reader through known sightings and incidents adequately verified, that spans the recorded 60 plus year history of the UFO presence. Compelling scenarios are presented from official files. Some have appeared on the History Channel, the Larry King program and even Nightline. As a long-time researcher into the UFO puzzle and a former State Director in the Mutual UFO Network, an international organization, I have read many very good works on the subject and have also written extensively on various UFO aspects. But in reading NEED TO KNOW, I was immensely impressed with the quality and integrity of the work. Mr. Good does not offer his theories, conclusions or opinions. He lets his documented and recorded findings speak for themselves. And indeed, they do speak loudly and emphatically. The sequential presentation of the many different episodes and sightings form a picture that is difficult to ignore or to challenge. Even the incidents on which very little data exists are presented in a time-line that meshes with known and adequately documented events Mussolini's interest in those early reports of 1941 of strange aerial craft, intercepts of Werner von Braun's V2 rocket tests by UFOs and later, of other missile test launches, the in depth reports on the Washington D.C UFO overflights in 1952, the Northeastern blackout of November 9, 1965 and a month later, the crash of the Kecksberg object in Pennsylvania, disappearances of Air Force planes and pilots, and the incapacitation of an entire missile complex in Montana. These and other incidents are just some of the examples of the detailed coverage of significant unearthly incidents. But it is in the last one hundred pages of the book that many of the diverse events coalesce and begin to form a picture that cannot be dismissed. This is a book that is well worth the time to read. The UFO has changed more than most of us could imagine. Timothy Good presented thought provoking disclosures. The rest is up to you, the reader. It's your world too. You decide.
