FBI Files Author Doesn't Have a Clue!
28 Dec 1999
Format:Hardcover
This book doesn't rate one star, but that is as low as the rating system goes. The author doesn't have a clue about how the FBI operates and obviously did little if any research to learn. There are no FBI secrets exposed in this book. In addition the author does nothing more than duplicate memos and letters to and from the FBI and arrives at erroneous conclusions based on his own perception, beliefs and inuendos. Just some basic research on the FBI would have indicated that Mr. Hoover probably never saw any of the documents he displays in the book. All comunications to FBI Headquarters from the field offices are addressed to Director, FBI. All communications to the public from headquarters are from the Director, On no document that he displays do Hoover's initials appear, which means he did not personally see or create the document. On none of the documents is there an indication of any active investigation. A little research would have indicated that the FBI has no investigative jurisdiction over UFO's. All investigative jurisdiction is specifically allocated by Congress, which limits the authority of the FBI. On page 2 he calls Mr. Hoover and Mr. Kelley liars when they both stated "The investigation of Unidentified Flying Objects is not and never has been a matter that is within the investigative jurisdiction of the FBI." The FBI has no investigative jurisdiction in UFO's. Further a little research would have indicated to the author the file numbering system that the FBI uses. The "62" classification that appears on most of the documents revealed in the book is an administrative classification, not a substantive case classification, meaning no active investigation. These are just afew of the obvious shortcomings of the author's lack of understanding of the FBI and it's operation. The book is a strong indicator of what is wrong with the UFO community--Lack of objective research, unqualified authors, and trying to put the square peg in the round hole. As one famous author once put it, "The eyes see and the ears hear what is already in the mind." This author had his ideas in mind and wasn't going to let the facts get in the way!

Hiding under a blanket and telling each other ghost stories.
9 Oct 2008
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Nick Redfern is always fun. I wouldn't trust him to read me a number from the phone book, but he IS fun. I make it a point not to miss his books.
In "The F.B.I. Files: The FBI's UFO Top Secrets Exposed," Redfern prints letters from the files of the F.B.I. about UFOs, cattle mutilations, men in black and gives his cockeyed take. It is both interesting and pathological.
