This book picks up where Timothy Good's previous book, "Above Top Secret," leaves off. He is an excellent researcher on the UFO subject, and leaves no stone unturned. I bought "Above Top Secret," and was so impressed by it that I went out of my way to find any other books by Timothy Good (this was before I knew about Amazon.com and their search button). "Alien Contact" is a more speculative book than "Above Top Secret," but still solidly researched and extremely interesting. I am surprised at the lack of positive reviews for this great book, and that there is no book cover picture shown for it. This is a great book, and it deserves more positive attention. The best sections deal with Area 51 in Nevada, and the alien craft seen there. One section describes how several military fighter pilots on training runs (at different times) encountered UFOs over Area 51, after disobeying standing orders for all pilots not to overfly the base. Fascinating stuff. There is also a big section on Bob Lazar's Area 51 story. Along with Timothy Good's previous book, "Above Top Secret," and Jim Marrs' book "Alien Agenda," this is one of the best books I've read on the UFO subject. Highly recommended. Get it and read it.
