Alien Base is realistic, and non-sensationalistic
27 Aug 2002
Format:Paperback
A friend of mine who has been a UFO enthusiast for years reccomended this book to me stating it was definitely one of Timothy Good's best. And just so you know, Timothy Good is a very well known and respected UFO researcher, and in this book, he presents a realistic and un-hyped series of reports of UFO sightings and alien contacts from the 1930's through to the 1970's.
And that's where you'll get caught out if you're not knowing what to expect from the book. I was expecting a broad range of topics that covers everything, and I was hoping to learn more about the "little grey men". This book doesn't deal with that species of alien at all.
The thing is, the reports of the little grey men have only come into abundance since the 70's. Before that, which is mainly what this book covers... people who had been into contact with aliens, all reported similar stories...
Anatomically perfect humanoid aliens (who could pass for humans) landing in flying saucers in remote areas for a variety of reasons. A most of the encounters reported in this book cite these aliens as advanced, and friendly.
That's what this book covers in a nutshell. (However there are some exceptions) It's a great read, some amazing stories, and a few photographs that they've been unable to prove as being faked or superimposed.
Most importantly, Timothy Good reports to you the facts (as reported by the alien contactees (many of who he personally interviews)) and does not speculate. And after each story, gives his thoughts and impression of the validity of the contactee in question.
Perhaps the most important aspect of this book, is that it will open your eyes to some very important things...
1- Not all aliens that are here now, or have visited here are "little grey men"
2- Not all species of alien are here for the same reason. There are many different reasons for people to travel, as with any alien species.
3- Not all species of alien interact with humankind in the same way. Not all abduct people (See "The Nordics"), then again, not all are friendly (See "The Dwarves")

Alien Base
1 Oct 2004
Format:Paperback
Really good book. Tons of documented cases. Good stays objective throughout his book and his research. You 'll find some extraordinary UFO cases with great analysis and evidence. This book, as all Good's books, is must have for anyone interested in subject of ufos.

Does It Matter Whether or Not Its True?
29 Jan 2006
Format:Paperback
I've read all of Timothy Good's books;for that matter I've met the guy-he's one of the nicest people on the planet.I have enjoyed all of his books because he's a good writer and because his stories are interesting.Whether or not they're true is something I'm not able to address.Where do you draw the line on stories like these? Other reviewers have shaken their heads over Good's championing of Adamski and other "contactees", but their stories, as related by Good,make for pleasurable reading. I personally don't believe that Adamski was being contacted by anyone,but his story was interesting.That's the bottom line.I recommend this book as the best of Good's work and I urge the reader to suspend disbelief and to simply enjoy the book.Pretend that you're reading science fiction if you can't swallow the stories. Most of the subject matter will be new to even a fairly well read student of UFOs and Good's writing style is a pleasure to read. What else matters?
