Product Description

Product Description
This text reveals what is in the X-Files residing in the deepest vaults of the Ministry of Defence. It outlines cases of sightings, together with the government policy and procedure. It also details the Government's response to phenomena like crop circles, animal mutilations and famous sightings such as the Rendelsham Forest case (1980), the Roswell incident, and the sightings of the US supersonic aircraft Aurora which has never been officially denied or otherwise. The book argues that there is a real threat to national security and that not enough is being done about it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Devoid of detail, 29 Jan 2003
By Mr. Michael Heron - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
While Nick Pope manages to cover an impressive amount of UFO territory, from Roswell to Rendlesham and beyond... there is very little genuine information to allow a reader to make anything approaching an informed judgement on any issue. While this is understandable in a book so short with such a wide breadth, I would have much rather seen more detail and less breadth.

The sections regarding the MoD response to the UFO phenomenon are interesting, as are Nick Pope's illustrative points as to why the claim of 'no defence significance' is ludicrious at best and downright negligent at worst.

I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone who has any knowledge of the field, but it would make an interesting introduction to the field, particularly considering the authority of the author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fox Mulder could have written this, 25 Jul 1999
By A Customer
An excellent introduction to the subject of UFO's by what better qualified person in the UK. Nick covers the extensive phenomenon comprehensively and in a very readable form. This is the book that started me on the search for more information on the subject. I have gone on to read another ten books so far, including Nick's other excellent book - The Uninvited. Highly recommended to anyone interested in UFO's

4.0 out of 5 stars Open Skies, Closed Minds: Official Reactions to the UFO Phenomenon, 24 April 2009
Nick's qualified effort herein is well worth investigating for anyone who wants to expand their horizons. He is the man to take heed of on this topic and has the knowledge to inform and instruct any genuine seeker in this instance. I speak from personal experience of dealing with Nick myself over the UK UFO axis and MoD apathy herein. Buy it!
