5.0 out of 5 stars A different interpretation..., 1 Sep 2006
I found this book a complete breath of fresh air! Having read much about the Warminster Mystery, (a local interest to me) I thought that what had been published before would remain the only investigations available. In Alien Heat is no rehash of old material - It invites you to take a fresh look at events surrounding the phenomena from a totally objective viewpoint. The authors' local knowledge and characters shine through with a welcome degree of humour when appropriate, but without detracting from the facts presented and their comments and thoughts. What I found particularly fascinating was the considerations on how British society viewed Shuttlewood and others publishings at the time. The book compels you to re-visit all the information and witness accounts some 30-40 years after it caused so much fuss in this small West Country market town. What a great mystery read!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Reveals the foundations of British Ufology, 27 Feb 2007
By J. McGonagle "UFO-Joe" (Stoke on Trent, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
For those who really want to learn the 'truth' about UFOs this book is a must-read. British ufology was defined to a great extent by events at Warminster, but few people have taken the trouble to understand what it was really all about, the people driving the media coverage, and how easily the stories fitted in with contemporary culture.

Not only is this an historical study, but it is relevant to modern-day reports, especially in areas widely reported as "UFO Focal Points" such as Bonnybridge in Scotland, the Derbyshire dales, and the Fylde coast.

By reading this book, you will gain a better insight into the dynamics of British ufology. Buy it now!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, in depth UFO study, 25 Feb 2007
By Philip End (Devon UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a very readable and entertaining book.It treats the subject seriously but never dryly; the authors never take themselves too seriously and often use a humorous tone. In answer to the earlier reviewer who couldn't "see the relevance of regurgitating Kenneth Arnold, Roswell, Adamski et al"; clearly the relevance is in establishing the context for the Warminster sightings. I have not read widely in UFO literature so for me, this introductory review provided a very welcome, succinct history of UFO phenomena up to the time of The Warminster 'flap'- ( I'm learning the jargon). It would be impossible to write the kind of analysis that this book undertakes without establishing such a context.
I read the book because I lived in Warminster for a few years in the 70's and went to Cradle hill sky watching myself on 4 or 5 occasions. I can vouch for the accuracy of Dewey and Ries's reports on what it was like to be there at that time. But I learned a lot more from the book; about the origins of the 'Thing', which I didn't know then, and have only just learned, and about how the whole affair played out over the years. The chapters I found particularly interesting were those in the last half, which look in some depth at the kind of psychological mechanisms at work in groups during a UFO flap. They always apply what they discuss to the Warminster phenomena but I am sure you could usefully apply their principles to analyse almost any UFO sightings and apply most of the same principles to analyse similar phenomena, such as Nessie, ghosts, or Bigfoot sightings.

So, this is a book which is of much wider relevance and interest than to the few people who know of Warminster. It should be essential reading for any serious student of UFO phenomena.
