Synopses & Reviews
From the author of the multimillion copy bestseller Communion, comes a book with the first hard, physical evidence concerning alien presence on earth
This book is at once a journey of scientific discovery and the story of the personal struggle the author has fought since he had an apparent close encounter in 1985. He has been criticized for creating folklore, been called insane, and labelled a liar and a cult leader. Naturally, he wants to correct the record. But more than that, he has come to feel certain that something truly earthshaking is happening -- something far stranger, far more incredible than anyone suspected -- and that it is being seriously misunderstood and ignored, all of which has made mankind vulnerable.
To change all this, he has needed physical proof. Now he has it, and this book is the story of how he got it, and what it is.
Ironically, even as it asks the best questions I have ever come up with, this book does provide some key answers, and they present an incredible picture indeed. What it all means, science must tell us. But if I am right about what it suggests, what is by far the most extraordinary event in history is unfolding right now....
So what is this evidence? Alien bodies, perhaps, or faster-than-light communications equipment? This is not a book of proof of alien presence, but of evidence that confirms that an unknown phenomenon is unfolding among us. This phenomenon emerges in three distinct areas:
-- the first is a dramatic growth in amateur video recording of strange things in the sky
-- the second is the unexpectedly huge body of close encouter testimony that is far, far different from anything that has thus far appeared inprint
--the third is the unexplained objects that have been surgically removed from some close encounter witnesses, myself included, who claim to have been implanted with them during their encounters.
Review
"Strieber makes a strong case for a serious commitment from science and government to investigate abduction phenomenon." --
Publishers Weekly"In 1957 I commanded the Army's missile firing range at White Sands Proving Ground in New Mexico. During an 'alien encounter' the message that they were offering mankind, 'a new world if you can take it,' was conveyed to me. For forty years, I mulled what it meant. Finally, it took an intellect like Whitley Strieber in his new book Confirmation to give its meaning to me and the world." --Col. Philip J. Corso (Retired), United States Army Intelligence and author of The Day After Roswell
"This book is an important wake-up call for scientist and nonscientist alike. Whitley Strieber has carefully and objectively shown that reliable evidence supports the strong possibility we are being sited by some sort of nonhuman intelligence. Scrupulously staying within the limits of reasonable interpretation of the data, he makes a solid case for the urgent need for a deeper investigation into all aspects of the UFO phenomenon by competent professionals in many different fields." --Jack Kasher, physicist, the University of Omaha
Synopsis
This book is at once a journey of scientific discovery and the story of the personal struggle Whitley Strieber has fought since he had an apparent close encounter in 1985, which he recounted in
Communion: A True Story. He has been criticized for creating folklore; he has been called insane, labeled a liar and a cult leader. Naturally, he wants to correct the record. But more than that, he has come to feel certain that something truly earthshaking is happening, something far stranger, far more incredible than anyone suspected, which has made mankind vulnerable.
To change all this, what he's need is physical proof. He has it, and this book is the story of how he got it and what it is.
Strieber first reviews all the evidence for UFOs-including the remarkably dramatic and repeated sightings over Mexico city filmed by so many people-as well as the testimony thousands have given about their close encounter experiences, before turning to shocking new physical evidence: five implants surgically removed under controlled and documented conditions from the bodies of people who have reported contact with aliens. The study of these "implants"-what they are made of, how they function, and what their ultimate purpose is-holds the final answers to this whole puzzle.
In addition, in a remarkable appendix, Monsignor Corrado Balducci of the Congregation of the Evangelization of Peoples and Propagation of the Faith discusses the perspective of the Catholic Church on the whole matter of alien contact and what it means within a religious perspective.
Synopsis
Warning: After you read this book you will believe in alien life.
The possible existence of extraterrestrial life is a phenomenon that has sparked more debate, controversy, fascination, and passion than any in recent history. Outpourings of UFO sightings, alien abductions, and covert government activity point to a truth which-as much as some people would like to-simply won't die. Now, in this provocative new book, bestselling author and UFOlogist Whitley Strieber boldly explores the vast territory of alien encounters, uncovering the most conclusive evidence of all: physical evidence that aliens may really be here.
Marvel as Whitley Strieber tells his own compelling story-and those of countless others-while you discover:
-Shocking new close encounters, many involving groups of people
-Thousands of sightings worldwide, many captured on video
-Shocking evidence of five mysterious implants surgically removed from human bodies
-And much, much more!
The most compelling question in the universe has remained unanswered for centuries. Now, finally, there is...Confirmation.
