============================================================================
|
|||
|
|
"Uninvited Guests" is probably one of the best books on the subject that I have
|
|||
|
|
read so far this year. It is a book that should appeal to both the seasoned
|
|||
|
|
Ufologist as well as serve as good background material for the novice. Richard
|
|||
|
|
has a talent for communicating complex situations and technical concepts to the
|
|||
|
|
non-technical person. His prose is factual, yet compelling.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The book is broken into three parts. The first covers confrontation with the
|
|||
|
|
phenomenon including chapters on close encounters with vehicles, strange
|
|||
|
|
technology, humanoids, Roswell, and finally abductions.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Part Two addresses the physical and spiritual side of the subject (without
|
|||
|
|
resorting to New Age concepts). Chapters are titled "The UFO Anomaly", "Other
|
|||
|
|
Realms", "Supermind", and one of the best, in my opinion, "Nuts and Bolts". In
|
|||
|
|
this last chapter of the second part, Richard make a case for the philosophy
|
|||
|
|
that given all the facts the the best theory is the simplest. The one that
|
|||
|
|
relies on the least amount of assumptions is the best. Most all hypothesis in
|
|||
|
|
this field rely on either a violation of known physical laws OR new laws that
|
|||
|
|
have not yet been recognized by the scientific community. Mr. Hall carefully
|
|||
|
|
carves up the carcass of the UFO animal and serves us up a platter neatly
|
|||
|
|
dressed with the most straight forward scenario. The case that relies on the
|
|||
|
|
fewest assumptions.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Part three (Evaluating the Unknown) deals with the the cloaked and covert
|
|||
|
|
mysteries. Beginning with the skeptical side, Richard deftly maneuvers around
|
|||
|
|
the government connection and winds his way through the Psychology of the
|
|||
|
|
Extraterrestrial.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As if this were not enough he delivers, as a denouement, an comprehensive
|
|||
|
|
appendix. Nearly one third of the books volume, the appendix has four sections.
|
|||
|
|
The most voluminous are the case histories sporting an elaborate cross reference
|
|||
|
|
which allows one to find cases based on the following topics: Abduction Reports,
|
|||
|
|
Animal Reactions, Pursuit, Colors, Electromagnetic Effects, Heat, Humanoids,
|
|||
|
|
Levitation, Light Beams, Light Engulfment, Odor, Perceptual Anomalies, Physical
|
|||
|
|
Traces, Psychological Effects, Sound, Loss of Steering Control, Translocation,
|
|||
|
|
and Vehicle Encounters. Or, if you care to, you can read the over 90 case
|
|||
|
|
histories in chronological order from October 1, 1948 to November 17, 1986.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Appendix B contains over 40 pages of government documents.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Appendix C contains the MJ-12 documents
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Appendix D is a glossary of acronyms and abbreviations.
