The Shocking Truth Behind the Greatest Cover-Up in Human History

This book is very poor, There are no connection to be made, and the gapes in it are Large to say the least. If you look at the author Timothy Good he seems like a rather aggressive personality, someone who is not a dedicated researcher and will fill you with Bull. Do not be fooled like me and buy this crummy book. Seriously dont.

Very complete. As an avid reader of all things regarding UFO's, I found this with great hope for the continuity of terrestrial humans, if only we could gain access to the truth. We may still have time.

I have read seemingly countless books directed toward this topic over the last 30 years, a number of them written by Timothy Good. Once again he delivers a personally convincing case, this time, regarding persons with repeated contacts as well as the depth of the longstanding knowledge of this reality by the (our) governments of the world and the cover-up that has unfolded over the recent decades which happen to coincide with the period of my life. I guess it speaks for the power of the book that I became increasingly disturbed inwardly as I read it, as I felt he was disturbed during the process of bringing this information artfully forward to those of us who are listening. The only disappointment was that the book ended.

This is better than most. We can compare information and do interviews or quote folks. This all helps a reader believe and even understand. You can't catch a readers imagination with phantom ideas or optics. I really enjoyed reading this book.

Recently (2 weeks) I've read about one new UFO/Alien book every day. This one I could not stop reading, even when sleep beckoned me with both hands. I think this is the one book that would open the eyes of skeptics and cause them to dig deeper into this subject which is hidden in plain sight.

I've been reading UFO books and studying the subject since I was in my early teens. I'm 65 now. The first time I read books about or by some of the individuals quoted or written about in this book I was barely old enough to shave. Even back then I was smart enough to figure out that human visitors can't possibly be coming here from Venus. How can the author seriously still be presenting these stories in the first half of the twenty first century? Lots of the other stories jump from interesting to boring depending on how versed the reader is in the IF I alien subject matter.
OK, with wall that having been said I have to admit that the book is well enough written that it held my interest almost to the the store 69 percent Mark. I kept reading hoping in vein that some new revelations would be just around the corner on the next page. But alas those revelations were not to be found. A full 30+ percent of this book contains an appendix, a massive index, and a biography of the author.
I felt slightly ripped off at the end. I now wish that I had read the other low star reviews be for I spent good money on this book. I should give it only one star, but it's so well written and edited that it held my interest for almost a week. That has to be worth my extra star.

A tedious and hard to follow style. Far too long for no more
new, fresh content than there is. This could be a great book if reformatted and edited better. Hard to discern which info the author believes and which he's just passing along because someone said it. First of his works I've read and from what I've read in reviews he usually produces a much better book.

I love this book and couldn't put it down. I have read many of the authors he references. My gripe is with the fact that the pictures noted in the book are missing from the Kindle edition!!!!!! What's going on?????

Part 1 has a believability factor of say 2 out of 10 points, part 2 has a believability factor of ZERO. I'm actually less irked with the load of crap the author tried to push off as serious UFOlogy, and more irked with all these previous reviewers who gave this book so many good comments and 5 star ratings! Don't get me wrong, I totally believe in UFOs, but this book is a horribly disorganized compilation of any and every UFO report and gossip tidbit that came down the pipe - years ago and then rehashed, quite poorly I might add. I wish I had at least bought the printed version so I could wipe my ASTRO-behind with the paper pages and feel like I got something out of the $20 I paid. Face it, this book is a... Well let's just say it starts wit the letter "T" rhymes with Urd. It's pure crap.

As a researcher in the field for more than 10 years, Good presented information and documents that I have yet to encounter until now. Bravo. Even in cases that I am very familiar with, he presents new an insightful facts and/or evidence. This book delivered well above what I was expecting when I purchased it.

A rather sanitised and co-opted work. Very mainstream and somewhat sanctioned study. Whilst it gives some morsel of truth, does very little to advance our knowledge. I would liken this study as a starter menu from a author who adds legitimacy to a very controlled and licenced area of research. A better bet would be to read the works of Nigel Kerner with help from Professor John Bickerstaff Biogeneticist in the book `Grey aliens and the harvesting of souls` This and Richard Vizzutti`s book `The return of the star gods has a much truer compass to follow. I would also recommend reading the montauk series of books with those of Professor Joseph Pharrell who l believe studied to become a priest before studying physics at Oxford. The occult and science are seldom parted and given the Nazi and allied preoccupation via project paperclip creating NASA you need to remain focussed, especially In these Times of tribulation it behoves one to be discerning as you are what you read as much as you eat. In this regard, l prefer a three course meal than reading a tourist hamburger.

Timothy Good has created, in my opinion, the most thorough and comprehensive report on this very real phenomenon. As a mental health professional, I can say I was initially in obvious dis-belief that these occurrences were real and not some form of delusion. However, after researching original texts, exactly the ones that Good cites, there can be no doubt that these experiences are real, and are documented by the governments all over the world. Good goes beyond the question of: are they real" and focuses on documented experiences with witnesses, far and wide, without adding leaps of logic or speculation which many books in this arena use, to their ultimate loss of credibility. If any book can tilt the scales as far as public perception, I believe this is the book to do that. Or at least, I hope.

Given Mr. Good's long standing reputation as a serious researcher who maintains his integrity and does not embellish his sources' allegations, this book is all the more important. This field needs more like him. It's also a great read!

The theme of this book appears to be there are aliens among us and a cross between humans and aliens is an ongoing practice-hybridization, I believe is what he called it. If true, there is not enough recorded scientific or political evidence to verify the stories. They all seem to be Roswellian in theme and nature.

Anecdotal stories about UFOs and their occupants who interact with humans are certainly intriguing. What's shocking is there's absolutely no hard evidence to support the tales in this book! This information has negative credibility and brings to mind George Adamski and his ilk. This kind of material gives ufology a bad reputation! Read Richard Dolan, Leslie Kean, Georgina Bruni, Nic Pope, Stanton Freedman if you want evidence that UFOs exist and are most definitely real!

I haven't done any previous focused research on UFOs. I've watch several seasons of the History Channel's Ancient Aliens, read Jim Marrs' books Ruled by Secrecy and Alien Agenda and Zecharia Sitchin's 12th planet book, and my sister gave me the Phoenix Lights video, but that's about it.

Despite those introductions to UFOs and aliens on earth mentioned above I was still emotionally shocked and delighted to start reading Timothy Good's book. This is a mother load or smorgasbord of examples and testimonies from what seem to be many of the most reliable witnesses one could expect in any such report or book.

It supports many suspicions I've had about aliens on earth and their involvement with the government and also flashbacks of my own memories in this life and recent past lives, for several years now.

I (I am about 2/3rds through the book) have found reading this book to be a huge relief emotionally to finally hear the truth of what's really going on here on earth. Without this type of information, what the governments and their leaders do simply seems absurdly irrational, well beyond normal cynical expectations.

The toughest part was accepting the fact that the information about aliens and their spacecraft and the fact that they are already very active here on earth, makes much of my suppositions in my recent Sc-Fi novel The Ecstasy seem at least somewhat foolish.

his book is the best I have come across re. U.F.O.. I had no idea that this much exists above and beyond some of the horror stories of abductions and examinations.

I recommend this to all who want to KNOW what is really going on.

Amazing compilation of the truth that has been hidden for the common man for centuries.. Open your mind and become aware of the real reason you are on this planet. You may not like the truth, yet it is truth that you must come to terms with in order to grow emotionally and spiritually to shift the paradigm for the true NEW WORLD ORDER that will bless us instead of continuous enslavement of humans on this planet.

Aliens are a pain in my ass so I need to get some stuff off my chest.

I just had a long conversation with several people who are “true believers” in current alien visitations to our planet. To them UFOs are alien spacecraft. Now, that might be possible but I must say I am not the least bit happy if superior, space-traveling aliens have these idiotic craft.

Come on, if you look at our technology of just two hundred years ago and compare it to this morning’s – we are now living in a comparatively magical age. Picture 500 years from now. Wouldn’t today’s technology seem completely primitive?

“Oh, Puddin Head, look at those cave drawings and those iPads. So quaint.”

“You mean they used to get into contraptions called planes and fly? How awful. Why couldn’t they just fly the way we do?”

“They burned what to go around in that ugly car thing?”

So my problem is that here are these superior aliens flying around in craft that might be 20 years ahead of what we fly around in now. How could they make it through the galaxy in those crummy vehicles? Maybe if they could just teleport themselves as beings of light and zip through our world that would be impressive.

Or if they could simply transfer their minds into our minds without our minds knowing they were there – then they could see everything we see, feel what we feel, be what we are. That would be advanced since we wouldn’t really know they were here and yet their minds had been shooting through the void to get to us. Impressive.

The other thing about these aliens is that they are creepy. “Greetings, I am Agog from a distant planet and I have traveled many light years in my superior spacecraft to come to your planet. Now turn over so I can shove this metal device up your ass.”

Would superior aliens be that interested in our anal openings that they would travel so far to do this to us? Yet, the “contactee” cases almost always seem to have aliens shoving things into our butts.

One of the people I spoke to said in a hushed whisper, “The government knows all about this but they are suppressing it. They don’t want anyone to know we are being visited.”

Excuse me? Then how the hell did she know? Go look it up; there are hundreds if not thousands of books on UFOs and aliens with their anal probes. This could be the worst cover-up in history since everyone seems to know about it.

I really do hope there are aliens out there and I do hope we get to meet them – sans a scoping. But the whole field of UFOs right now just seems as annoying as a prostate exam.

Anyone that reads a lot of this flying saucer nonsense, as I do, has developed a litmus test for when an account or story is bogus gibberish, or at least adhering to some criteria that is constrained by the parameters of believable nonsense, and regretfully much of this book falls below that threshold.
You have to expect a lot of zany kookiness when you're considering something like a topic of flying saucers, but when too much of it is self contradictory, or defies the uncommon UFOologiclcal logic that we've gotten used to calling 'What is Reasonable' for this, you just have to step back and gafaw like any other hillbilly skeptic.
The truth may be out there, but not in this volume.
Also; there was a reference to a photo section of the book, that seems to be missing from the kindle ( fire ) edition. ( ? )

Most times it easy to tell the difference between the serious UFO book and unorganized junk. Its very easy in this case. Take a bunch of third person he said, she said accounts. Throw them in a box and shake well. I'm disappointed. From the reviews I expected better. In my opinion this was a waste of my money.

Good is really bad this time around.

I've stopped reading it half way through. He has basically lifted full content from other authors chapter by chapter. I can't understand why Good should think that readers have not read the books he is quoting from. I see nothing original in this work. Very disappointing.

It's time for something major to happen globally on the ET front so that we can get some new material.

FOR ANYONE WHO IS WELL READ REGARDING THE UFO STORIES OF THE PAST, THIS BOOK IS A WASTE OF TIME. IN MY OPINION, MR. GOOD TOOK EVERY UFO INCIDENT IN THE ENCYCLOPEDIA AND COMMENTED ON IT'S PLACE IN THE HISTORY OF UFOs ON EARTH. THERE IS NO SHOCKING TRUTH BEHIND THE COVER-UP THAT IS REVEALED! IN OTHER WORDS, DON'T READ THIS BOOK IF YOU EXPECT ANY EARTH SHATTERING INFORMATION. MR. GOOD JUST REHASHES OLD INFORMATION BORINGLY AND WROTE THIS BOOK JUST TO SELL A BOOK. SO IF YOU ARE JUST LEARNING ABOUT THE UFO PHENOMENON AND WANT A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE THEN I WOULD SAY THAT THE BOOK IS MORE APPROPRIATE FOR BEGINNING UFO 101. UNFORTUNATELY, I EXPECTED MORE OUT OF MR. GOOD. I FOUND MYSELF FLIPPING THROUGH BORING PARTS HOPING TO GET SOMETHING UNIQUE AND WORTHWHILE, BUT WAS DISAPPOINTED TREMENDOUSLY.

Few published writers over the past 25 years can claim to be in the same league as UK researcher Timothy Good when it comes to the credible academic study of the UFO subject. From his 1987 best-seller `Above Top Secret' through half a dozen subsequent mainstream/hardcover publications, he has impressed both the idle curious and the committed sceptic to take this subject seriously by his meticulous research methodology, interview transcripts with high-level military/political contacts, and reliance on official published documents attesting to the reality of these phenomena.

Good's 2013 publication `Earth: an Alien Enterprise', claimed by the author to be the result of several years' work, is now available in kindle. It contains an abundance of new material but "goes further than ever before" (the author's words) towards embracing a grand-conspiratorial narrative of international government cover-up of this issue, hinted at and hedged around in this author's previous work but never before laid out so boldly as here.

There is much here to like. Good is no re-cycler of old cases from the archives but a genuine researcher of the new & original, travelling to interview his informants/percipients often on repeated occasions, taking photographs, analyzing evidence, seeking out official documents and presenting the subsequent material `warts and all' for the reader in intelligent, fluid and literate prose. This high standard of writing alone makes his books stand apart from perhaps 95% of publications on this subject. The editing from Pegasus Books is exemplary; an object lesson in how to present such information to a thinking and critical readership.

Some of this case material is compelling, though the committed debunker is unlikely to be convinced by the extraordinary `Amicizia' case (written up in greater detail in Professor Stefano Breccia's book `Mass Contacts') and the many `contactee' cases personally investigated and reported here. The extraordinary case of persistent phenomena in the Solomon Islands is genuinely spooky with some details revealed here for the first time resembling those from the Belem area of Brazil in the 1980s.

Criticisms already levelled at this book are that the author is sometimes too gullible and readily accepting of what he is told, and does not always adhere to the rigorous standards of evidence demanded when dealing with extraordinary claims. Many quoted sources are anonymous or `flaky', and those of a more cynical disposition steeped in UFO lore are unlikely to be impressed by anything associated with Steven Greer, or accept the now-generally discredited claims of the late Philip Corso. Equally John Lear - who maintains the US government perpetrated the 9/11 attacks using holograms of airplanes, has huge secret submarine bases under the Nevada Desert and is currently engaged in mining operations on the moons of Saturn - will hardly be seen as a credible source of information by most readers. Tim is also unusual in this field in his outspoken conviction of the veracity of the late George Adamski's contactee claims. Many will no doubt feel it unfortunate that such controversial material is allowed to contaminate the more obviously legitimate elements of the narrative; this sorting-signal-from-noise problem will not only dilute the impact of the overall message but hand a truckload of lethal ammunition to the professional debunkers, and the legitimacy of the UFO subject in the public mind is likely to suffer as a consequence.

However, those who believe in grand conspiracy theories will find their deepest convictions confirmed by the book's conclusions. Whether persuaded or not by the author's courageous stance on the subject he should be respected for his intelligence and decades-long persistence as a dedicated researcher of these phenomena.

In summary: not a flawless book, but a good one. Though unlikely to convince the sceptic, `Earth: An Alien Enterprise' is one of the more literate and professional published works on these phenomena, and a useful summary of this author's position on the subject after 40 years of diligent investigative work.

This book came today and it is nothing but a rehash of everything you've heard before with no thought, sense or reason involved in its format. It consists of never-ending snippets of info from books the author has read (and if you are interested in this subject, which you have also read) and repeats it all. And I do mean all. Nothing new here and no intelligence put into this book whatsoever. Seems if anyone saw a UFO (or anything like one), anywhere on the planet, they get included in this garbled waste of paper. The author must need money badly. He even quotes his own older books to plump out the meaningless complilation of what other people have already covered in the past.. Don't waste your money. I regret wasting mine and just now tossed this piece of garbage in the trash as such drivel doesn't deserve a place on my bookshelf. I will never buy anything by Timothy Good again. Aside from the fact that there is nothing new here, he must have contempt for his reader's intelligence. To top it all off, doesn't seem to be able to write coherently! This 'book' is not about Earth being an alien enterprise. It is just a listing of sightings you've read about before.

I trust Timothy's books. I actually heard the radio broadcast, the only one without a 'time delay' of the Apollo. I remember the astronauts saying they saw something shiny, moving, and were going over for a look. Right at that point there was a news blackout and there was not a single news source remaining with a transmission. My friend and I went crazy the following day, looking in all the newspapers for information on what they saw. Days later, only the much maligned Enquirer carried the story of what they saw. This information is confirmed by Neil Armstrong in Mr. Good's book.

There is also the telepathic issue that Mr. Good has experimented with. It works.

This book is a reliable source of information on this subject. I have learned so much from reading it and trust this author immensely.

It isn't often that I look at books on this topic, but when I saw that it was a Timothy Good book that I hadn't heard about, I had to check it out.
Some years back, I read lots of books on this subject but eventually gave up, as there was just so much tabloid stuff that was just too over-the-top
and I could no longer suspend disbelief. I could not pass up this book once I saw the author's name; curious as to whether Good had had been subsumed by the mountain of trash on the subject. I need not have worried; this book is much in the vein of Leslie Kean's latest book ,which truly redefined the evidence based approach to the UFO. This is a very good read, because Good structures the book by theme, with chapters on rather specific topics, each of which presents evidence which Good has found to be credible based on the sources. Having once served in Britain's government, tasked with gathering information on UFO events in GB, he has sources which have confided information which is not in the public domain, and enhances the cases covered. I enjoyed being able to select a subject by chapter and jump in without having to commit to the entire book. I have read most of the book and am pleased with Good's conservative approach. One of the few current books on the topic that I would recommend.

In 1966, when I was 12 years old, I and two other witnesses saw and photographed a UFO in upstate New York. The photo and account of the encounter - "It had a high-pitched sound and was in view two minutes" - were sent to the Air Force. The Air Force sent back a lengthy questionnaire and asked for the negative. The following year the photo with mention of my name appeared in a flying saucer magazine published by TRUE. I did not send the photo to the magazine, so assumed they got it from the Air Force. After the magazine hit the stands I received about five letters from others across the country who had seen the exact same sort of flying saucer. I was astounded! I was NOT alone in what I had witnessed - and neither were we earthlings alone in the Universe! There was one problem with all of this, however. What I had photographed in April of 1966 was nothing more than an airborne hubcap. My cousin was the discus thrower and I snapped the photograph. It came out remarkably well!

The point of the above is that hoaxing and attendant publicity are relatively easy to achieve. Yet at 12 years old unto today I still believe in the probability of flying saucers. My hoax wasn't executed with a desire to debunk. It was more a case of somewhat subconsciously wanting to be a part of a fascinating phenomena - like young boys playing pretend that they are big league baseball players. So hoaxing and pretending are easy and it is in the blood for people to lie and make-believe, either wittingly or not. Remember Hillary Clinton's tale of dodging bullets on some foreign tarmac? She told this tale well - and often during her campaigning for votes. It all sounded so darn true - until video surfaced that proved her either lying intentionally or remembering erroneously or perhaps a little of both. People often just get things wrong and then try to dodge reality. Look at Obama's current dancing around the truth of the affordable health care act. Is he lying? Is he trying to convince himself he is an honest man and thereby us that he isn't speaking with a forked tongue? In this quantum Universe, the foundations of Reality are ultimately malleable and mercurial and able to be questioned even when one hits a stone wall!

So I am very open-minded to the reality of flying saucers and alien entities, be they inter-galactic or inter-dimensional or both. I have seen things and have experienced incidents of high strangeness. Ultimate Truth is itself probably more anomalous than not. But one should set bulwarks against bilge as best as one may. In this book, Timothy Good too often displays an indiscriminate acceptance of way too much purported evidence without offering the readers a detailed view of the flip-side of the coin. Some examples: he trumpets the very contested claims of Col. Corso who wrote THE DAY AFTER ROSWELL without adequately addressing the many holes in the late Colonel's tales. Good seems to buy into the equally dubious claims of alleged alien contactee George Adamski. In this book's photo section one of Adamski's most famous pictures of a UFO is reproduced as if the real McCoy - yet nowhere do we learn that this photo is more likely to be part chicken brooder with GE light bulbs simulating the spaceship's landing struts! At least this hybrid saucer is better-looking than the hubcap! Also in the photo section is a picture of one "Mr Kenio, one of several giant aliens associated with the Amicizia group." Why is this normal, albeit very tall, man said to be an alien and why is the original photo and negative said to be held in a Swiss bank security vault? This is evidence?

Too many of the anecdotes related indiscriminately herein amount to being tales told by an anonymous someone to someone else to yet a third party and so forth. Way too much of the book is simply made up of extremely extended, quoted passages from various witnesses - with no real subsequent analysis provided by Mr. Good or others as follow-up. Too often, the stories become more heavily padded with outrageous details over time. One example of this is the story of pilot Robert Willingham: in 1955 he and some other pilots allegedly saw a UFO. It allegedly crashed somewhere on the Tex/Mex border. Willingham - the only one recounting the story - then flies off on his own to find the crashed UFO. He locates it and sees a team of Mexican soldiers cordoning the crashed disc off. Cutting to the chase, Willingham's story was turned into a book in 2008 by two authors: THE OTHER ROSWELL: UFO CRASH ON THE TEXAS-MEXICO BORDER published by...ready?... RoswellBooks.com. But perhaps the strangest part of this whopper of a saucer saga is that Willingham failed to mention his seeing the little alien pilots inside the crashed saucer. He only revealed this on a radio show, after the book's publication! Perhaps there will be a sequel??? Oh, and Willingham also carried away a small piece of the wreckage but failed to photograph it before sending it out for testing. But a drawing of the fragment was made and is included in this book's photo section! What all this amounts to is that it seems Mr. Good is just throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. And just about every incredible story has someone writing a book about the experience. The book opens with a very dubious, uncorroborated tale of two young brothers' ongoing encounters with a landed saucer in 1932. The recounting of this story goes on for several ultimately boring pages. And, yes, one of the boys has just come out with a book titled UFOS ARE WITH US - TAKE MY WORD! One question that comes immediately to mind is...what took so long?

Timothy Good has contributed hugely and admirably to the UFO discussion with many prior books. But in this one, he just seems, again, way too accepting of anything and everything - even of things that he himself has experienced! On page 102- 103 he tells of the time he was in a restaurant near the California/Arizona border when his "attention was drawn to an extraordinarily graceful, petite girl with blond bobbed hair and delicate pale features." He goes on to say "The thought struck me that she might be one of those aliens living among us, so I telepathically transmitted the somewhat trite question 'Are you from another planet?' There was no response. But as she left the line, she made a point of walking past our table, pausing to give me a lovely smile and a gracious bow of acknowledgment before proceeding to another part of the restaurant, a 'dead-pan' expression on her face." In another of Mr. Good's purported encounters with possible aliens we find him sitting in the lobby of the Park-Sheraton in NYC telepathically transmitting to the lobby crowd the proposal that 'If any of you people from elsewhere are in the New York vicinity, please come and sit down right next to me and prove it." Well, lo and behold, a man looking to be a Madison Avenue businessman does, indeed, sit beside our author - this happening a half hour after the initially transmitted invite by Mr. Good. Was the man just wanting to rest his dogs - or was he truly a visitor from another planet? Mr. Good then sends another telepathic message to the stranger: "I asked him telepathically if he really was from another planet, and if so, to please confirm this by placing his right index finger on the side of his nose and - I vaguely recall - asking him to keep it there for a short while. No sooner had I transmitted the thought than he did precisely that." The man eventually stands up and leeaves. Mr. Good wonders why he didn't try to engage the man in conversation. His reply to his own question is that "it seemed inappropriate." I can see where it might be inappropriate to ask a total stranger if he was from Mars. Also, had Mr. Good actually asked the question and if the man was truly an earthling and took offense, Mr. Good may have run the risk of being hauled to the booby-hatch! Mr. Good also says he could only "vaguely recall" the exact detail of his mental message. I would hope that if I thought I was sitting next to an alien I might recall the encounter much more vividly. Anyway, with such a deadly serious mindset it is no wonder Mr. Good sees none of the tongue-in-check humor of Will Smith when he said to Chris Moyles on a radio show that he had the goods on UFOs direct from President Obama - a truth teller par excellence if ever there was one! "I have the top-secret information, I just can't share it," said Smith. "You don't think I've made all those movies (MEN IN BLACK) and NOT been briefed by the White House?" I saw Will Smith say something similar to this elsewhere - and the comedic actor was definitely just kidding! But...Mr. Good is gullible. He is perhaps too "good" and accepting of everything and anything.

EARTH: AN ALIEN ENTERPRISE definitely has the baby in it, be it human or hybrid - but the poor infant risks being drowned by just way too much dirty, murky bath water.

Timothy Good believes a lot of UFO stories. He believes the discredited Col. Philip Corso, who claimed fiber optics and other modern advances came from aliens. He believes John Lear, whose tales of underground alien bases-cum-torture chambers were too much even for Art Bell. Good may be one of the last UFOlogists to believe George Adamski, the `50s hustler who claimed to zoom around the solar system with a Venusian named Orthon.

Good seems to believe everyone with a wild UFO/alien account; he stacks dozens of them end to end, uncritically, in "Earth: An Alien Enterprise."

Corso, Lear, et al are the least of them. There's an account of UFOnauts surveilling a North Dakota farm throughout the 1930s and befriending teenage boys. There's a story of live aliens in long-term residence at an RAF base in Somerset. There's an alien liason program, "Amicizia," involving dozens of people across Europe for forty years. (Good provides a snapshot of a genuine alien on the Amicizia team; he looks like Richard Kiel, the "Jaws" guy from the Bond films.) There's an offhand reference to the head of a `70s US/West German space research center being a Venusian.

No matter how outrageous the story (most are wholly unconfirmable: second-hand, hearsay, or single-sourced), no matter how glaring the absence of evidence (no photos of an alleged `50s mass sighting over Bexleyheath, UK because "cameras were not common in 1955"), Good stretches to believe. "Leo came across as genuine..." "I remain impressed by his total sincerity." "An unlikely tale? Perhaps not." Good believes everyone. If you call Good and tell him six-foot space squirrels played mariachi music in your back yard and fed you nachos from the Crab Nebula, he might believe you too.

There's a weird appeal to Good's increasingly berserk cavalcade of UFO / alien anecdotes. But they don't cohere. They add up to no unified view of the UFO phenomenon. Good presents no thesis. Contact began when Eisenhower met with aliens at Edwards AFB in 1954. No, 1948. Actually, George Washington met with aliens. Actually, it all began when a NASA emissary met the aliens in the Solomon Islands in 1961. Oh, wait, there was UFO wreckage hidden in a U.S. Capitol sub-basement in the 1930s. And secret alien bases? They're in the South Seas, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, Alaska, the American Southwest... there's also a secret alien city somewhere in Mexico with an alien population of 300,000...

At some point even the most credulous reader should say, hey, wait a minute.

If the phenomenon includes this many alien species, bases, types of craft, government secret-keepers, and dastardly cover-up activities (including numberless murders and thousands of child abductions), hiding it on Earth would be as hard as hiding double-decker buses in London.

But Good thinks the planet is being overrun. He literally sees aliens behind potted palms. How do you deal with a guy who sees a pretty young girl in a restaurant, sends her the telepathic message: "Are you from another planet?" and takes her much-subsequent random smile as a "yes"? Good files this innocuous exchange under "my contacts with presumed aliens."

There's a fine line between tantalizing and ridiculous.

Good's mid-1990s book "Above Top Secret" remains a key, well-researched UFO volume, but since then his critical faculties seem to have degenerated... well, rather a lot. It doesn't help that a great deal of "Earth: An Alien Enterprise" consists of reheated material from Good's prior books, large verbatim excerpts of other books, or old chestnuts from the UFO oeuvre polished up for resale. The Antonio Villas-Boas abduction story (Brazil, 1957) gets its umpteenth outing here. The so-called "headline revelation" about UFOs and Apollo 11 trumpeted by the publisher has actually been out there for decades; the sole update is that Good names the recently deceased MI6 source. (She claimed she heard Neil Armstrong confirm spotting alien spaceships on the lunar surface while she eavesdropped through a closed hotel room door at a conference in Italy. No matter that the conference's official record makes no mention of the source, Armstrong, or the professor he allegedly confessed to. Good believes her.)

There is a real shortage of new and balanced writing about the UFO question, which is indubitably worth studying. The problem doesn't seem to be a lack of new stories or witnesses. More likely it's a shortage of cogent, rational analysis that will coax open-minded people to take a closer look. In that regard, sadly, "Earth: An Alien Enterprise" does more harm than good.

Timothy Good is an articulate and well-known UFO researcher who contends that extraterrestrials have been visiting Earth for many years. He believes that they have bases here, and that there's been considerable, but mainly covert, liaison between them and humans. He cites claims that there have been face-to-face meetings between aliens and US presidents, such as Dwight D. Eisenhower. He thinks that there are different groups of aliens, with different agendas, some being positive towards the human race and others (e.g. those involved in abductions and the creation of human-alien hybrids) having sinister intentions. Along with other prominent researchers, such as Richard M. Dolan, he contends that there's been a long-running official cover up of the UFO subject, particularly in the USA.

The book cites a mass of case material and reports, although some of it is controversial. For example, Good (pp. 118-126) discusses the case of a UFO that supposedly crashed in Mexico (close to the US border) in 1955, the event allegedly having been witnessed by a military pilot called Robert B. Willingham. Good believes that the case has substance. But, as he notes, Kevin Randle, another UFO researcher, has criticized Willingham's assertions.

In the course of his extensive research, Good has corresponded with, and met, many people, some of whom have had military or intelligence backgrounds. For example, he refers (pp. 237-239) to the late Pamela Handford, who, he states, served with Britain's Secret Intelligence Service (popularly known as 'MI6'). She informed him about an occasion, in 1984, when she was attending a conference in Italy. It turned out that her hotel suite was adjacent to one occupied by Neil Armstrong, who'd been on the Apollo 11 mission in 1969 and was the first man to walk on the Moon. She reportedly overheard him telling a Professor Schwartz that large, technologically superior, alien craft were present on the Moon, and were menacing. (It's not clear whether he meant that the craft acted menacingly or whether he was simply referring to their appearance.) Later that day, at a cocktail party, Handford spoke to him, and he confirmed that the story was true. But he declined to go into further details, other than to say that the CIA was behind the cover-up. Good made some enquiries and eventually obtained a list of people who'd attended the second forum of the conference, but Armstrong, Handford and Schwartz's names weren't on it. This could be seen as detracting from the credibility of the story, although maybe the list was incomplete, or perhaps Armstrong, Handford and Schwartz had attended the first forum, not the second. At any rate, there have been other claims of alien craft being seen by astronauts.

At various points, Good mentions the late Lt Col. Philip J. Corso, author of a 1997 book entitled 'The Day After Roswell'. Good explains that it "caused a sensation with the revelation that [Corso] had been instructed [...] to steward alien artefacts from the Roswell incident in a reverse-engineering project that led to today's integrated circuit chips, fiber optics, lasers, and super-tenacity fibers" (p. 131). But Good fails to mention that Corso's claims have been challenged in a detailed critique by Dr John B. Alexander (himself a former colonel in the US Army) in a 2011 book entitled 'UFOs: Myths, Conspiracies, and Realities'. Chapter 2 of Alexander's book is headed 'The Corso Conundrum', and Appendix A reproduces a long letter that Alexander sent to Corso, after the publication of the 'The Day After Roswell', querying many of its assertions. Good's book refers to Alexander (pp. 377-378), although not in connection with Corso's claims, and he references Alexander's book in an associated endnote. It's therefore disappointing that he's failed to mention Alexander's critique of Corso's claims. Arguably, in the interests of objectivity and balance, he should have done so, even if he doesn't agree with Alexander's points.

Good appears to believe that some of the UFOs seen over recent decades have been secretly constructed man-made craft, based on alien science and technology. He quotes a story contained in Richard Dolan's 2009 book 'UFOs & the National Security State: The Cover-Up Exposed, 1973-1991'. It concerns an aviation designer, Brad Sorensen, who told Mark McCandlish, an aviation illustrator, about something that Sorensen had supposedly witnessed in November 1988 at the Lockheed Martin Skunk Works (a facility where advanced aircraft are produced) in Palmdale, California. According to Sorensen, he was with someone who'd formerly been senior in the USA's Department of Defense. They saw some advanced aircraft in a hangar, including three flying saucers. The latter were floating off the floor. A general, addressing some people nearby, reportedly described the saucers as "Alien Reproduction Vehicles" (ARVs). He claimed, among other things, that the ARV could operate at "light speed or better"! Dolan explains that when Sorensen first told McCandlish and others about this, he said that he'd seen the ARVs at Norton Air Force Base (California) rather than at the Lockheed facility. His changing his story could be seen as diminishing its credibility. But Dolan states that, in 1992, McCandlish met a man called Kent Sellen, who, in 1973, at Edwards Air Force Base (also in California), reportedly saw a craft exactly matching Sorensen's description of the ARV.

The late Ben Rich headed the Skunk Works for a time. Good notes (pp. 137-138) that during a lecture at the University of California in Los Angeles in March 1993, Rich reportedly said: "We already have the means to travel among the stars. But these technologies are locked up in black projects and it would take an Act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity." During discussion after the formal part of the programme, Rich was asked whether the Skunk Works employed theoretical physicists. He said they did, and that they'd proved that Einstein was wrong. (Good's source for this information was a report from an acquaintance of his, Tom Keller, who was present at Rich's lecture.)

On pp. 329-338, Good discusses alleged alien encounters experienced by a Maria M. Rivera and members of her family in north-west Puerto Rico between 2005 and 2010. I had some e-mail contact with Rivera myself after reading an article by her that appeared in 2009 in a now defunct UFO magazine. The article had also been posted on websites, along with video footage, obtained via a mobile phone, of a UFO she'd allegedly seen. Unfortunately, the recording was of rather poor quality. The events Rivera described included classic alien abduction-type experiences, and her seemingly being cured of cancer as a result of alien intervention. Drawing on the aforementioned article and additional information that she'd given me, I wrote an account of her family's experiences and sent it to her, interpolating some queries about specific aspects of what she'd reported. I also enquired whether she could give me an e-mail address for her daughter, so that I could ask her (the daughter) about her recollections of the events. But I received no reply, despite sending a reminder. I knew that Timothy Good had also been in touch with Rivera, and he kindly wrote to her on my behalf, in January 2010. Replying to him, she indicated that she'd been attending to a sick family member and that many e-mails had therefore gone unanswered. But she stated that she would send me an e-mail, although I've heard no more from her. I devoted several pages to the Rivera case in a book of my own ('Zones of Strangeness: An Examination of Paranormal and UFO Hot Spots', published in 2012), but Timothy Good's contact with her lasted until at least 2011, and his account of the case is therefore more up to date. However, I'm not sure whether he was ever in direct communication with anyone from the family other than Rivera herself. On p. 338, he quotes from her daughter-in-law, although it's not clear to me whether the daughter-in-law herself was personally in touch with him, or whether the quotation was included in a communication that Rivera sent to Good. Also on p. 338, he states that Rivera "has produced evidence to support her [Rivera's] abduction claims", but I don't know what he's referring to. Certainly, it would have been impressive if (with her consent) Good had adduced testimony from her doctors, confirming that she'd had cancer and that the disease had completely, and unexpectedly, remitted!

The book contains many lengthy sections of quoted material. They appear with quotation marks, without indentation, and with the same size of font as the rest of the text. I think it would have been neater, and clearer, if they'd been rendered with a smaller font and indented, thus obviating the need for quotation marks (except in the case of quotations appearing within the quoted material). However, Timothy Good informs me that his submitted manuscript did have indented quotations with a smaller font, but his publishers had their own 'house style'.

Although the general standard of writing is good, I found a few passages confusing. I noticed only a couple of grammatical errors, and no spelling errors. As for factual errors, there's one on p. 249, where the late Donald Keyhoe is described as having been an "Air Force Major". In fact, his military service was with the US Marine Corps. On p. 101, there's mention of the late Dr Berthold Schwarz, who's described as a psychologist. However, he was a psychiatrist.

Throughout the book, endnotes are linked to items in the main text with superscript numbers. The superscript numbers should, of course, correspond to the numbers of the relevant endnotes. Unfortunately, in respect of Chapter 15, this concordance has very largely broken down. But to be fair to Good, he's written a very substantial and detailed book, with myriad references, so it's not hard to imagine that errors of this type could accidentally occur.

CONCLUDING COMMENTS

Despite the minor problems mentioned above, I regard this as a very interesting book, and an important contribution to the literature on UFO-related matters.

Few published writers over the past 25 years can claim to be in the same league as UK researcher Timothy Good when it comes to the credible academic study of the UFO subject. From his 1987 best-seller `Above Top Secret' through half a dozen subsequent mainstream/hardcover publications, he has impressed both the idle curious and the committed sceptic to take this subject seriously by his meticulous research methodology, interview transcripts with high-level military/political contacts, and reliance on official published documents attesting to the reality of these phenomena.

Good's 2013 publication `Earth: an Alien Enterprise', claimed by the author to be the result of several years' work, is now available in kindle. It contains an abundance of new material but "goes further than ever before" (the author's words) towards embracing a grand-conspiratorial narrative of international government cover-up of this issue, hinted at and hedged around in this author's previous work but never before laid out so boldly as here.

There is much here to like. Good is no re-cycler of old cases from the archives but a genuine researcher of the new & original, travelling to interview his informants/percipients often on repeated occasions, taking photographs, analyzing evidence, seeking out official documents and presenting the subsequent material `warts and all' for the reader in intelligent, fluid and literate prose. This high standard of writing alone makes his books stand apart from perhaps 95% of publications on this subject. The editing from Pegasus Books is exemplary; an object lesson in how to present such information to a thinking and critical readership.

Some of this case material is compelling, though the committed debunker is unlikely to be convinced by the extraordinary `Amicizia' case (written up in greater detail in Professor Stefano Breccia's book `Mass Contacts') and the many `contactee' cases personally investigated and reported here. The extraordinary case of persistent phenomena in the Solomon Islands is genuinely spooky with some details revealed here for the first time resembling those from the Belem area of Brazil in the 1980s.

Criticisms already levelled at this book are that the author is sometimes too gullible and readily accepting of what he is told, and does not always adhere to the rigorous standards of evidence demanded when dealing with extraordinary claims. Many quoted sources are anonymous or `flaky', and those of a more cynical disposition steeped in UFO lore are unlikely to be impressed by anything associated with Steven Greer, or accept the now-generally discredited claims of the late Philip Corso. Equally John Lear - who maintains the US government perpetrated the 9/11 attacks using holograms of airplanes, has huge secret submarine bases under the Nevada Desert and is currently engaged in mining operations on the moons of Saturn - will hardly be seen as a credible source of information by most readers. Tim is also unusual in this field in his outspoken conviction of the veracity of the late George Adamski's contactee claims. Many will no doubt feel it unfortunate that such controversial material is allowed to contaminate the more obviously legitimate elements of the narrative; this sorting-signal-from-noise problem will not only dilute the impact of the overall message but hand a truckload of lethal ammunition to the professional debunkers, and the legitimacy of the UFO subject in the public mind is likely to suffer as a consequence.

However, those who believe in grand conspiracy theories will find their deepest convictions confirmed by the book's conclusions. Whether persuaded or not by the author's courageous stance on the subject he should be respected for his intelligence and decades-long persistence as a dedicated researcher of these phenomena.

In summary: not a flawless book, but a good one. Though unlikely to convince the sceptic, `Earth: An Alien Enterprise' is one of the more literate and professional published works on these phenomena, and a useful summary of this author's position on the subject after 40 years of diligent investigative work.

I'm giving this a three star rating basically just for effort on the part of the author.

I could not get into this book, though I wanted to, and the many positive reviews motivated me to check it out in the first place. But I confess I did not read it, I just skimmed over sections, so my review is pretty biased in that respect.

I found that much of the accounts of UFO/extraterrestrial activity just seemed to be anecdotal. Eisenhower or this general or that general were missing for several hours, so they must have taken a ride on a UFO...that sort of thing.

Now I'm one who tends to believe in extraterrestrial contact. I just found this book to be a lighthearted investigation into the subject. Now, saying that, I realize that if the premise is true, most of the "evidence" for this sort of thing is going to be anecdotal. Widespread coverups remain a problem for this type of phenomenon worldwide...

So I applaud the effort to just look into these cases in and of themselves. This book just did not convince me that it really had anything groundbreaking to tell though. How many of us haven't heard stories by now of the tall, blond, blue eyed "benevolent" aliens supposedly guiding mankind to a brighter future (which originated out of the uber-technical utopian thinking of the sixties...) or the stories of sinister "grays" breeding hybrid humans and abducting people...? These stories are so common that they've become part of pop culture.

But the evidence is scant. We have some testimonies of apparent witnesses and that's about it.

Again, that's not to say these things aren't happening, or that there aren't secret alien bases on earth in mountains and under the sea. Its possible. I rank it up there with Bigfoot being real for possibility.

Overall, I think the book has a good wrapup at the end as to what is going on, both good and evil extraterrestrial interference in earth's affairs... Again, this may be true, or maybe its just a fantasy of our time period as the ancient Greeks had their fantasies about the pantheon of gods. I don't profess to know one way or the other.

I picked up this book at my library. I'm inclined to buy a copy merely for the fact that it is a good reference to this sort of alien lore in a fairly comprehensive way.

It just did not convince me of anything new one way or the other.

One final note: The book mentions that the US (perhaps other nations as well) already has the means for faster than light travel in space, and that some flaw in relativity theory (something to do with nonlocality) makes this possible. I've heard stories about this before directed at NASA - there are the Dark NASA books etc. But NASA itself is such an incompentent organization, a massive beurocracy that spent half a billion dollars every time it sent a shuttle up... So I find that hard to swallow.

If we do have interstellar space propulsion technology right now, and this is being suppressed, that has got to be, in my mind, the greatest crime any nation has ever perpetrated against its people...

These sorts of accounts in the book make it worth reading and owning. But that does not necessarily mean they are true. And if they are true, we may very well live out our lives and never find out what is being hidden technologically from society. These sorts of secrets tend to be multigenerational. The men and women suppressing such revolutionary advancements (if they are) are in my mind more evil and detrimental to human development than any alien species ever could be.

All governments manipulate their citizens.

I have only read six chapters but the information is great! As a writer of three books about UFOs on the store, I like to see other researchers writing about their findings. If my sightings were on film, it would blow people out of the water! All I can do is write about my witnessed experiences, much like Timothy Good. My favorite sighting that I witnessed with about 30 to 40 other people was a blimp-like UFO that looked similar to the Hindenburg
dirigible but was seen by another witness to have shot out of sight in just a few seconds! The UFO was no more than a half-mile from the ground and this event happened in 1971.

Bravo to Timothy Good and his books! If anyone knows how to contact him, please let me know!

This book covers a wide range of cases, from long before the usual starting points (of either Roswell or the Kenneth Arnold-both in 1947) and even shows relationships between cases which seemed too far apart (both in time and distance) to be related; yet the author does so very well. Some of the cases covered seem too fanciful and imaginary, until you get to later parts of the book, which is a march forward in time, and you find related portions. Taking people at their word, in some cases is difficult, but many of the witnesses pass the smell test very easily. It will make one ponder the varied purposes for other races visiting the earth. The book is rather thick, but you are NOT going to get 'kitchen sinked' (showered with every case under the sun) in this study; the cases are very well chosen and serve a purpose. This is not to say they are cherry picked; on the contrary, the cases may have been overlooked for years and possibly never related had this book not come along to tie all of them together.

If I had this in printed format, my ferret cage would be lined with the pages, and my ferrets would refused to use it for their sanitary needs because of how BAD the contents of this book are. The greatest cover-up is that people perceive this publication to be factual and real... while sitting in their the RV trailers in some trailer park in the Nevada desert, whilst wearing tinfoil caps to keep the little green men from reading their minds... on the bright side, passages from this book could be great for creating custom Cards Against Humanity...

An eye-opener. To me it made a lot more sense than the biblical story of who we are...at least there is logic here. A good companion book would be Our Occulted History by Jim Marrs or Genesis Revisited by Zechariah Sitchen. I don't think we are given the truth and these books confirm that to me.

Where is the physical proof, there is none and I was watching an old History Channel documentary last night called UFO's and the Bible and another one called Banned From the Bible 1 & 2 and neither one of them has any real acknowledgement of where the aliens really are or where they come from, sure there are dozens upon dozens of TV shows etc. that have been produced on this subject but no one has shown any proof, I've even seen the TV documentary that was done by podiatrist Dr. Timomothy Lear where he performed foot surgery on someone that they tried to claim that the object was of outer space material but thier conclusions were that it was probably a piece of a tool of some sort, and they certainly haven't landed on the White House lawn, I was watching the program UFO Files last night too and they said that several presidents have said that they want the materials released but still nothing forthcoming, I'm 51 except that I was on Litchfield Road in Phoenix Az. the night they scambled the jets after the Phoenix Lights Incident, I was listening to the news reports on a little red transistor radio and actually saw the jets with thier afterburners on. If stuff has been banned from the bible then that means that the bible is not even complete so you can't even use that as a reference point, can you? Stuff was banned because the Catholic church felt that the release of that info would be so damning that it would cause uprisings but they still got those anyway.

Mr. Good's books are indeed the bible for amateur ufologists. Earth: An Alien Enterprise is his best book to date; well-written and researched. I would recommend this book, as it is my favorite book on this subject currently.

Earth: An Alien Enterprise is a stunning book that blows the lid off government denial of contact with UFOs. The subtitle says it all: “The shocking truth behind the greatest cover-up in human history.”

Timothy Good has a long history of meticulous investigations, beginning with the classic “Above Top Secret,” in 1987. His latest work is quite thorough and leaves no doubt about the massive cover-up of alien phenomena – a hidden history that seems ready to burst at the seams due to the well documented leaks from qualified sources and undeniable eye-witness accounts. This book adds new cases to his basic argument and fills in gaps from previous UFO reports.

The first few chapters seem designed to introduce the new-comer to the wide variety of experiences and the “high strangeness” that permeates the alien contact arena, including telepathic communications, the different types of aliens, and historic contacts with both individuals and groups. I find his references lend credence to his claims and provide resources for other researchers to follow. I also appreciate how he allows credence for critics and naysayers by admitting to alternative explanations for some of the more eyebrow raising allegations. Nevertheless, the sheer volume, consistency, and comprehensive coverage of first-hand reports leads the reader to conclude that something very strange is going on.

The later chapters are a gold-mine for UFO researchers, featuring the history of alien contact with government officials dating back to the Eisenhower administration. Mr. Good’s coverage is open minded and includes recent developments into a multitude of interrelated topics, such as ancient astronauts, alien technology sharing, spiritual advancements, remote viewing, cattle mutilations, and infiltration by alien-human hybrids.

The only criticism I can come up with is that there are so many cases – the book is more like an encyclopedia of alien contact than anything – that it’s easy to become overwhelmed by the number and magnitude of so many studies. At some point you want to scream, “What does it all mean, Timothy?!” Is there really a secret satellite government perpetuating the cover-up? Is the secrecy about to collapse due to its own weight? Are aliens making an end-run around the information blockade, going directly to groups and individuals? You ARE able to reach some conclusions, but it’s not because the author presents them on a silver platter, but rather they emerge as the only logical explanation for such well documented reports.

"Earth: An Alien Enterprise" is Timothy Good’s twelfth book on the subject of ETs and UFOs and it is chock full of information you have not read elsewhere. As a Congressional staffer, over the years I introduced Mr. Good to several senior members of the U.S. House of Representatives so that he could brief them on the alien presence and the technological advances mankind has made after the retrieval of ET hardware – all unbeknownst to members of Congress. I did this because Mr. Good ferrets out facts from fiction; does extensive first-hand research/analysis; and presents information only after he is confident it is accurate and true. For example, the chapter on the captured Roswell aliens, who were eventually relocated to England, was of particular interest to me. Never has another researcher published this information, which I found to be very interesting.

"Earth: An Alien Enterprise" is first-rate as are all of Mr. Good’s books. They are a “must read” and necessary additions in the library of anyone interested in this phenomenon. I believe I've met most of the major researchers who investigate and write on the ET/UFO subject, and it is my opinion that Mr. Good is absolutely the best in the field.

Thank God for Timothy Good. I hope that one day he will get the credit he deserves for the bravery of researching this difficult subject. I think it is likely that one day he will be recognized as one of the forefathers of what we will come to know as important history and common place knowledge.

The author is extremely detailed in his narrative. This is the book all UFO enthusiasts or researchers MUST have on their book shelf. It has information not available anywhere else. And it goes far back into the very first contact history between earthlings and aliens. Fascinating read on the many TYPES of aliens out there...and where you probably may find these aliens. Some of the stories I read I had never seen before...so this will be an interesting read for many people who are well informed on this subject and still want to learn something new. Its just an excellent read all the way through with little bits of info that will startle you when you read them ...just a fantastic book!!!.

I rarely write reviews, but I feel strongly about this book. This is truly a load of poppy cock. There is no basis in reality. I definitely believe in the existence of UFOs, but I do not believe a word of what purports to be the truth. Shame on WSJ or Lord Hill-Norton for endorsing this nonsense. There is no attempt by the author to substantiate anything in this book. Some reviewers have pointed out that the episodes are anecdotal, I say to them so what? The more important question to ask is - how can you substantiate what you state in this book as a "fact"? Back it up by verifiable evidence. No more and no less. I will leave you with this final thought: how many of you out there can judge the distance to anything? I was intrigued to read that so many so called witnesses seem to provide a distance to the craft or the distance of the craft to some other object. How absurd? Do you really think we have the ability to judge distances, Just think of this and make up your mind, based on this simple observation, about this so called factual book. Just simply focus on this simple thought. I put this book in the same category as the Conversation with God books. Did you read that crap? For god's sake don't. If you believe that crap and this book, then you do not know the meaning of rubbish or you are not old enough to discern the difference between truth and down right lies.

I just began reading this book by Timothy Good and so far I have to say it is an intriguing and provocative topic that Timothy approaches in a professional manner.

The original reason that I purchased this book was so that I could familiar myself with Timothy's work in case I may decide to send out a request for him to appear on The Farside Paranormal Podcast (available on iTunes).

After reading the first several chapters I have to say the book is a fascinating & intellectual read.

I am a believer in ufo's visiting our planet and have read many books on the subject as well as watched video footage of ufo's. I would classify Earth An Alien Enterprise as a classic example of " disinformation " as the author displays no separation between fact and fiction. For the ufo subject to be taken seriously, we need to examine the facts in a scientific manner, not write stories in a book that are written from our own fantasy concerning the subject of ufo's.

Maybe I'm just more of a critic/non-believer, but it was hard to get interested in the book and more importantly, it was difficult to stay interested. Very dry at times. Overall it was a worthwhile read though.

This book is an enormous waste of time. I'll read just about anything on the subject of UFOs, but the accounts written about here are just ridiculous. I've never been so aggravated or disappointed. Save your money and time.

Timothy Good is a charlatan. He is the same person who wrote --without any care of verification-- about a presumed statement made by the late Dr. Wernher von Braun, in Germany, which is totally faked.
How can we trust in all the other material that apparently is exclusive, and includes all people dead who can not contradict what Good says?

He is part of the real cover-up, the disinformation strategy developed by those who don't want to tell us the truth about UFOs and their really inventors.
Let those who want to be mystified and lied to read this new book of T. Good. And by the way allow Good to make money.

The truth is out there, but not in a supposed and never demonstrated presence of "aliens among us", but in something totally earthly and real about what it is inconvenient to talk.
