More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration - NASA - was established on July 29, 1958. Ever since that day, NASA has been at the forefront of efforts to explore outerspace, resulting in the Apollo missions to the moon, the Skylab space-station and today's space shuttle. But behind the open face of NASA, there is a much more mysterious world. NASA has been linked to a wealth of high-level cover-ups, including: · Claims that the Apollo moon landings of 1969 to 1972 were faked as part of an effort to demonstrate military and technological superiority over the former Soviet Union · NASA's role in hiding the truth about the controversial face on Mars - which many believe to be a carved structure, created in the remote past by long-extinct, indigenous Martians · NASA's deep and longstanding involvement in the famous UFO crash at Roswell, New Mexico, in the summer of 1947 · Deep Throat-like NASA sources that have attempted to blow the lid on NASA's most guarded secrets concerning the U.S. Government's interactions with aliens. "Nick Redfern [is] the Brit with a knack for ferreting out all the dope on outrageous subjects." - Jim Marrs, best-selling author of Psi Spies and Alien Agenda

As a great admirer of Three Men Seeking Monsters, and always feeling that any Redfern book would at least be well written, if a little off the wall sometimes, I have to say this is a train wreck of a book - one of which I can only assume at some point that he was asked to up the word count of, by someone such as the editor or publisher or indeed anyone who would be supervising this publication, as the grammar barely holds together in what amounts to hugely over elaborated sentences - structured much like I have attempted to do here to illustrate my point.
Also there are no clear headings, and the break out boxes throughout resemble one of those UFO annuals - I half expected a comic strip and a crossword to appear at some point.
I'm sorry, as there's probably lots of interesting information contained within this book, but in three attempts at getting past the first chapter, I've had to put it down. Hopefully this is only a 'blip' in the author's output - or he has been replaced with an infinite number of 'greys' bashing away at an infinite number of typewriters. A real disappointment.

I was looking forward to this book as i had enjoyed 3 men seeking monsters. Having read it though i was so disappointed. An interesting subject is dealt with very badly. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone, its very poor.

Better save ur money for some real, quality effort like Leslie Kean UFO book or any Richard Dolan work. This is a poor work, fast done, poorly written, and with info you will find on the abovetopsecret board. I think the author was thinking in making some cash with this one and thats it, almost no pictures, the design is awful too, and overall you get the feeling that this is not a deep-hard-work, instead a quick-make-for-cash book on an extremely interesting theme. Personally i will never get a Redfern book again, there are much better journalistic style books like Richard Dolans, Leslie Kean, or the king of conspiracy Jim Marrs.

More than a feeling
30 Dec 2010
Format:Paperback
I believe most Americans, in their heart of hearts, feel our government has information about UFOs and the creatures alleged to pilot them that they choose not to share with "we, the people." Researcher Nick Redfern has no such compunctions about sharing, thank goodness. His new book The NASA Conspiracies delves deep into places the National Aeronautics and Space Administration would much prefer ordinary citizens avoid altogether.
I give Redfern great credit. Trying to piece together any coherent statement about phenomena like the Roswell UFO crash, the humanoid, giant "face" on Mars, and even our own missions to the moon is a daunting task. All of these incidents - along with most every other UFO-related sighting or report ever made - seem to attract layers of rumor and disinformation that make it very difficult to sort reality from rubbish. And conflicting information inevitably breeds paranoia - which is not always an illogical state of mind!
Redfern takes a sharp paring knife to the main topics of concern to conspiracy buffs, and then votes yea or nay on whether our own officials are fostering cover-ups in each case. And he is even-handed enough to cite conspiracy-deflating evidence when he finds it.
Redfern then goes even deeper, addressing the infuriating question of why our government would try to pull the surgically mutilated sheep's wool over our eyes. Some trace this policy back to the late 1950s report by the Brookings Institute which concluded humanity can't handle the truth, and that knowledge of extraterrestrials would shock us into chaos and initiate world-wide kerfuffles. Or are there more nefarious motives in play, such as secret swaps allowing aliens to probe us more freely than a TSA worker in exchange for shiny new technologies?
Redfern also considers the work of the late Mac Tonnies, who suggested that aliens are not off-worlders but in-worlders; the remnants of ancient, technologically-advanced Earth inhabitants. Remember the jokey mid-90s John Tesh is an Alien web sites? [...] Tesh does fit the profile: tall, blonde and eco-minded.
Redfern also notes the recent, curious rapprochement between the Vatican and parishioners from outer space. Does the Pope know something we don't? Do aliens wear little silver slippers?
The fact is, too many people have seen and experienced unexplainable aircraft and creatures to deny that something is going on. Redfern's feeling is that the conspiracies are beginning to unravel - with, I might add, the help of dogged researchers like himself - and that we may be close to learning the truth at long last.
My only criticism of this book is that I liked it so much I wished there was even more of it (such as a chapter on men in black), although I know from experience that publishers keep a tight leash on word counts these days. I bet, however, that the prolific Redfern will be back with more on this topic. I hope so. No one does a better job of guiding us through the confusing mass of truths, half-truths and obfuscations that comprises what we think we know about UFOs. The NASA Conspiracies is highly recommended for anyone willing to consider that sometimes the truth is indeed out there, but other times it is right here, waiting for us to take a closer look.

very disappointing

Nothing new in this book. No new facts. The only valuable part for me was the bibliography where some really interesting stuf was listed. If you want this book, you can have mine for free.
