Books Available Click for details Book Reviews 'I do not know how many trees were cut down to produce this 590-page diatribe, but I wish they had been left standing. Above Top Secret is an evil book. Mr Good's ideas are those of a maniac.' The Spectator 'Timothy Good's stimulating and brilliantly structured book is a masterful detective story worthy of Agatha Christie or Franz Kafka. Good's book may, in fact, be regarded by history as one of the most interesting books on any subject to be written in the last 10 years.'
Ottawa Citizen 'Good, a thorough and well-informed writer, has woven a highly disturbing book which proves that the UFO cover-up has been designed around a program of 'denial and ridicule'. UFOs are the ultimate official secret. This is a compelling study.' Sunday Republican, USA 'It is painful to turn to the shrill yappings of Timothy Good's Alien Liaison.
Only mentally subnormal people could believe in it.' The Daily Telegraph 'It would be easy to write Good off as a crank, were it not for his painstaking documentary evidence, including thousands of Pentagon and CIA documents.' Wolverhampton Express & Star ' Beyond Top Secret has about 110 reports by pilots all over the world. The author's objective, often cynical approach has won respect from sources more likely to scoff at anything remotely connected with the subject.'
Adscene, Kent 'He worries away at the evidence like a forensic scientist, until, at the end, there's a small pile of incontrovertible nuggets containing the impermeable conclusion that Earth is increasingly visited by aliens. ' The Guardian 'Overall Beyond Top Secret is a fascinating and well-documented book that makes a convincing case.
The evidence that Good has amassed is too overwhelming to ignore and it is clear that a more open debate is long overdue.' The Sunday Times ' Alien Base is packed with new, startling and hitherto unpublished reports, including retrievals of alien craft and bodies, eye-witness accounts from military and civilian pilots, and one-to-one meetings with visitors from outer space - based on an impressive weight of testimony.' The Scotsman 'You certainly make a good case. Alien Base is very impressive.' Sir Arthur C. Clarke 'It's the most outlandish alien theory yet.
Beings from outer space establishing secret bases on Earth, and travelling in ships that are just as much at home beneath the sea as they are in the skies. Beyond belief?
But Unearthly Disclosure is written by one of the world's most respected authorities on UFOs, and his findings are supported by one of Britain's most senior military men.' The Daily Mail 'I have the highest regard for Good's absolute integrity, his determination and skill as a researcher, and his wide and detailed knowledge of the whole fascinating UFO experience. Were this not so, I confess at once that I should have serious difficulty in accepting several passages in this riveting book Unearthly Disclosure and the astounding revelations he now shares with the public.' Admiral of the Fleet The Lord Hill-Norton, former Chief of the DefenceStaff NEED TO KNOW - PRESS REVIEWS A UFO Digest Book Review - 11th February 2008: By Art Champoux NEED TO KNOW: UFOS, THE MILITARY AND INTELLIGENCE By Timothy Good This is one book that you, the ardent researcher and public alike need to know about and read cover to cover. Timothy Good is a world-renowned researcher and author that has appeared on several television shows and written many books on the subject of UFOs and the military's secret agenda to debunk them. This has to be one of the best books on this subject.
Included within are 431 pages of secret official documents and the complete cover-up of UfO sightings that our government and other governments have hidden for years. If you read no other UFO book this year this is the one you need to read. You will be fascinated by the inside look at the subject of flying saucers that the military and the insiders of the military/industrial complex have seen and hidden for all of these years. Included are the inner workings of the CIA, the Magic 12 papers and the Roswell incident that you will not hear about anywhere else.
The secrets that the military/industrial complex has tried to suppress and the inner workings of all countries have shared are enclosed in this fact based and comprehensive book that the average citizen never hears about. Secrets that are revealed for the first time and have been brought to life for the first time any where are brought to life in a refreshing no hold barred literary compendium that is fit for the serious investigator or just the entertainment of a UfO buff. The astronauts saw them on earth in a secret air base. The UFO that landed on a runway that was visible to the leaders of the air base. The military sightings, the close calls of UfO/U S air force military planes and the other landings that have occurred for over a hundred years that our government knows about. Roswell was an enigmatic happening but who knows that before Roswell there was another craft that crashed and other entities were found! A UFO Digest Book Review By Art Champoux NEED TO KNOW: UFOS, THE MILITARY AND INTELLIGENCE By Timothy Good Timothy Good's book is an all encompassing look at a subject that is denied by the 'elite' of the scientific world but as the book tells us that his research has brought him to speak before the Pentagons Defense Airborne Reconnaissance Office and the headquarters of the French Air force!
Now think about that! Something that officially does not exist but yet they ask him to talk about it to the head of our nations defense leaders! This book is not just a book to enjoy but also one that every UFO Investigator and researcher MUST read.
If you only buy one book this year to read, NEED TO KNOW is the one! Included in this compendium of known facts are: In 1945 the US military recovered an alien spacecraft. A French pilot serving in the USAF fired at a UFO in the first incident of this kind in 1945. The US shot down several disks in the late 1940s; a period marked by an unprecedented wave of unexplained aircraft crashes. I have several of Timothy Goods' books and He, in my opinion, is up there with the best UFO investigators of all times. In Fact I would rate him with the top 5 writers of this century into the facts surrounding the most world altering mystery of this planets history: the world of UFOS and their enigmatic pilots and crew. So all of you UFO buffs do not ignore this most compelling and fact based book into the history of UFO sightings that our own government will not tell you.
Open your minds and take in knowledge. It will amaze you, maybe frighten you, and maybe change your world as to the reality of our 'visitors' and our place in the cosmic system. Your mind will be altered and your mind will be open to the mystery of the ages changed forever. From Aeroplane Magazine - November 2007: Need To Know by Timothy Good Whether or not you believe in UFOs, this softback by one of the respected authorities on alien phenomena may make you think. Many of the sightings cannot be explained away, and the author claims that new documents and oral evidence from military and intelligence sources is hard to refute. Fascinating stuff. Rating: Excellent NEED TO KNOW - READERS’ REVIEWS “Timothy Good’s Need to Know is a tour de force – staggering in its research and its implications.
It should be required reading for every college student on the planet.” Payne Harrison, bestselling author of Black Cypher, Forbidden Summit and Storming Intrepid “Just finished Need to Know and feel like the man who decoded the Rosetta Stone must have felt.the first seventy-five or so books I read on this subject hadn’t quite done the trick, but Need to Know removed any lingering doubts I might have had up until then. You have found by far the best supporting anecdotes, the best corroborating witnesses, and the best scientific quotes. I wouldn’t even know where to begin in praising this book. Every single chapter is outstandingly phenomenal.
Need to Know is the best UFO book ever written. The reason I say this is because it is precisely the military security leaks which are the most promising evidence of ET reality. Your inclusion of the security leaks from the JPL and CalTech California Institute of Technology are especially striking.
I would defy any honest skeptic to read this book without becoming convinced that indeed, the ‘flying saucers’ are real. I will ask them to overlook the fact that you have laid down tracks for a Depeche Mode album. “ Marc Meinzer, US Navy (Ret.), Cleveland, Ohio “.
An incredible catalogue of UFOs and alien activity through the years up to the present. Need to Know should have been waved about and talked about on every talk show and current affairs programme – but it did not happen.
How close I wonder are we to the big breakthrough, the moment when the media takes the subject – and the proof – of alien life seriously?” Howard Rodway, Sittingbourne, Kent “I have just completed Need to Know and I can’t say enough good about it. It is a thorough and detailed look at the UFO issue and the active suppression of information being conducted by world governments, probably under the leadership of the U.S.
Your thoughts at the end of the book regarding alliances and open conflicts with alien races are particularly revealing.” Phil Sevigny “The most important and comprehensive book on the UFO question.” Patricia B. Grant BSc, West Malling, Kent “. I simply could not put the book down.” Michael Hathway, London “If you read this book, you’ll understand why the mainstream media goes to lengths to ridicule and downplay these encounters.” Kelly Robison “. As a long-time researcher into the UFO puzzle and a former State Director in the Mutual UFO Network, an international organization, I have read many very good works on the subject. But in reading Need to Know, I was immensely impressed with the quality and integrity of the work. Mr Good does not offer his theories, conclusions or opinions. He lets his documented and recorded findings speak for themselves.
Even the incidents on which very little data exists are presented in a time-line that meshes with known and adequately documented events: Mussolini’s interest in those early reports of strange aerial craft, intercepts of Von Braun’s V-2 rocket tests by UFOs and later, of other missile test launches. The Northeastern blackout of November 9, 1965, and a month later, the crash of the Kecksburg object in Pennsylvania, disappearances of Air Force planes and pilots, and the incapacitation of an entire missile complex in Montana, and other incidents, are just some of the examples. But it is in the last one hundred pages of the book that many of the diverse events coalesce and begin to form a picture that cannot be dismissed.” Edward F. Mazur, Arkansas “. He details thoroughly many incidents where UFOs have been fired upon by the military, and other occasions where aircraft have been ‘shot’ down or ‘absorbed’ by extraterrestrial craft. Much of the book deals with the worldwide government cover-up of the situation and the compartmentalisation of knowledge which is only revealed on a ‘need to know’ basis. He makes a distinction between ‘private’ and ‘public’ technology, the advanced technological secrets that the military have gleaned from crashed UFOs which of course remain hidden within ‘black’ programmes.
In the final chapter Good quotes Ben R. Rich, the ex-head of the Lockheed Martin ‘Skunk Works’, who said, ‘We now have the technology to take ET home’!” The Boogie Man, Coventry “Tim Good has done a very thorough and professional job in researching and summarizing a hundred or so of the best documented interactions between ET craft and military installations and pilots over the past 60 years. With either radar tracking records or otherwise documented official recognition. The book contains sections on some of the high-profile multiple-witness cases of incidents between ET craft and the military in Brazil, in China and the USSR and Mr Good has gathered a lot of new and deeply researched material.
Every pilot of my acquaintance either has personal experience of encounters with UFOs, or has friends in the aviation community who have. I have seen them myself on two occasions whilst flying. Due to government suppression of sightings and attempts to ridicule witnesses, pilots don’t bother reporting them anymore, but certainly they talk to each other. The news media unfortunately colludes with the policy, so the cover-up continues. If the policy is forced to change suddenly, many of the ‘flat earthers’ in the population who choose to cling to the security offered by redundant belief systems and have hitherto refused to confront the evidence may face a major paradigm shift.
The end of inter-human conflict and war? The end of religion as we know it? Let’s hope so.” Archer Books, Hemel Hempstead, Herts. 'I must say it was the most comprehensive of the many books I have read on the UFO subject. Hellyer, former Canadian Minister of Defence.
I think this PDF collection is much easier to download, and more user friendly, than the somewhat complicated method I posted last year to download individual images of these documents from. Please note: When giving its permission on behalf of the Government of Canada, the Copyright Services branch of Library and Archives Canada requested that I acknowledge the source of these documents as follows: Description: Canada’s UFOs: The Search for the Unknown © Government of Canada. Reproduced with the permission of the Minister of Public Works and Government Services Canada (2012). This post is in several sections, namely.
SECTION B: THE PDF ARCHIVE Last year I wrote a thread here on ATS entitled. That thread referred to the UFO documents which had previously been released in Canada and made available online (but which had – prior to that thread - not been discussed very much online). In that discussion, I speculated that one of the possible reasons for the Canadian documents generating relatively little discussion (apart from the fact that ufology is dominated by authors and researchers from the USA) is that the relevant Canadian government website does not have an option for downloading the entirety of the UFO files. I therefore outlined one method of downloading the documents from. That thread prompted some very helpful input from several members of ATS (particularly freelancezenarchist and ArMaP) to identify and fill in some gaps in the blocks of relevant documents I had identified. However, the downloading method I posted last year required users to put in a reasonable amount of effort. I’m therefore pleased that I can now post (with the permission of the Canadian government) a link to a set of searchable PDF files that I’ve created of the UFO documents released in Canada:.
You can select individual sets of files or download the entire collection by clicking on the “Download Folder” button at the top right of that webpage. Of course, as with all uses of Optical Character Recognition software to convert images into searchable PDF files, the results are only as good as the source material. Many of the images released by the Canadian government are imperfect (and, in some cases, completely illegible).
Search results with these PDF documents are therefore imperfect – but I find these results considerably better than not having any search results at all! I would say that the search results are worse than with searches of the UFO documents released by the British Ministry of Defence or the redacted copies of Project Blue Book files released in the USA, but better than the results of searching the unredacted copies of Project Blue Book files. I think that the ability to store these PDFs on your own hard-drive limits reliance on slow internet access to online documents.
Also, being able to search these PDFs for keywords complements the various search options (e.g. By date of a sighting) on. It’s worth having a glance at the search options on the official Canadian website and thinking about the best way(s) to perform any particular searches that you have in mind. If you see something you consider interesting in the PDF files, you may well want to be able to give a link to the relevant document on. To make it easier to find a relevant URL for a specific page within the PDF files, I’ve created a list of image numbers on the Canadian website for each of the 8,759 pages within the PDF files.
I’ve uploaded that list of file locations as part of the collection of PDF documents. You can use that document to look up the relevant page number in the PDF documents and get the image number on the official website (e.g. Page 6780 in the PDF documents has an official image number of ).
Basically: (a) The left hand column in that document lists each page number within my PDF archive of Canadian UFO documents (b) The right hand column gives the corresponding long “e” number, which forms part of URL for that page on the official Canadian website. For example, if you want to find an official copy of page number 5063 in my PDF archive then just scroll down to the line beginning “5063” (or do a search for “5063.” – including the full stop after the number) and you’ll find the corresponding “e” number (“e002749627”) indicating that the relevant page is at: Unfortunately, the precise URL for a document on the Canadian archive website varies slightly depending on which block of URLs the long“e” number falls within. All of the URL begin with “data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca” but the part of the URL thereafter varies, e.g. /e/e110/e002744278.jpg (making the URL ' target='blank' class='postlink'data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca/e/e110/e002744278.jpg). The URLs are in different blocks containing different short “e” number (e.g. “/e/e110/”, or “/e/e110/”, or “/e/e120/”), depending on the long “e” number.
The relevant blocks are: (a) from /e/e110/e002744278.jpg to /e/e110/e002749999.jpg (b) from /e/e111/e002750000.jpg to /e/e111/e002750209.jpg. Osted by freelancezenarchist (h) from /e/e120/e002999664.jpg to /e/e120/e002999999.jpg (i) from /e/e121/e003000000.jpg to /e/e121/e003001631.jpg Thus, for example, page 6780 in the PDF documents has an official image number of e002997366 which is in a block beginning with a short e number of e120, so the URL is: To try to make this easier to follow, in addition to posting some new sample pages (in Sections C and D) I’ve update some material I’ve previously posted (in Sections E and F) giving the page numbers in the PDFs and also the relevant URL. This may sound a little complicated, but if you look at one or two examples you should get the hang of it within a minute or so. If anyone has any problems, just post in this thread and I’ll do my best to help (or to further simplify the process). Despite the helpful assistance last year from freelancezenarchist, ArMaP and others last year, some small gaps may remain in this collection of the UFO documents available on. As I mentioned in, some of the (limited) coverage of the web access to the relevant documents had referred to “9,500 files” (while the PDF files I’ve made available contain 8,759 pages): The Toronto based independent news agency ZlandCommunications has learned that the Canadian government under the leadership of the Rt. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has provided open web access to approximately 9,500 UFO files at its archive web site, Library and Archives Canada.
A brief summary of government UFO documents relating to Wilbert Smith, Project Magnet and Second Storey can be found on the website of the Library and Archives Canada, at: That summary begins as follows: In 1950, a senior radio engineer from the Department of Transport, Wilbert B. Smith, made a request to his superiors to make use of a laboratory and the department's field facilities in a study of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and the physical principles connected to them. Smith spearheaded Project Magnet with the purpose of studying, among other occurrences, magnetic phenomena, which he believed would open up a new and useful technology. The goals of Project Magnet were fueled by the concepts of geomagnetism, and the belief that it may be possible to use and manipulate the Earth's magnetic field as a propulsion method for vehicles. Tests conducted by Smith were reported in November 1951 and they stated that sufficient energy was abstracted from the Earth's field to operate a voltmeter at approximately 50 milliwatts. Smith believed he was on the 'track of something that may prove to be the introduction to a new technology.' Smith believed that there was a correlation between his studies and investigations into UFOs: '.the existence of a different technology is borne out by the investigations which are being carried on at the present time in relation to flying saucers.
I feel that the correlation between our basic theory and the available information on saucers checks too closely to be mere coincidence' (Smith, Geo-Magnetics, Department of Transport, November 21, 1950). It was believed by both Smith and other government departments involved, that there was much to learn from UFOs. Investigations into these sightings and interviews with the observers were the starting point for Project Magnet.
In connection with the establishment of Project Magnet, members of other government agencies formed a committee solely dedicated to 'flying saucer' reports. This committee was sponsored by the Defense Research Board and called 'Project Second Story.' Its main purpose was to collect, catalogue and correlate data from UFO sighting reports.
The committee created a questionnaire and interrogator's instruction guide. The reporting method used a system intended to minimize the 'personal equation'. In other words, a weighting factor was created to measure the probability of truth in each report.
Smith explained that most UFO sightings fit into two general types: 'those about which we know something, and those which we know very little.' The PDF files include a copy of the Project Magnet report written by Wilbert Smith, including: The first page of the Project Magnet report at page 6781 of the PDF collection (i.e. Part 23, page 181 of 300).
Wilbert Smith is – to put it mildly - a controversial figure, discussed in dozens of UFO books (see Section G below for relevant references). For example, Timothy Good’s book “Above Top Secret” discusses Wilbert Smith at pages 178-184, 198-200 (in Chapter 8) of the Sidgwick & Jackson hardback edition (with the same page numbering in the Guild Publishing hardback edition and the Grafton paperback edition).
That and states that Wilbert Smith was senior radio engineer with the Canadian government Department of Transport at the time and a highly respected scientist who held a master's degree in electrical engineering and several patents. Similarly, Michael Strainic wrote a biography for the NICAP web site (2002) at: “For the most part, however, the picture is clear: Wilbert B. Wilbert Smith wrote quite a bit about UFOs. Some of his articles appeared in the Flying Saucer Review (“FSR”) magazine – including at the following references: Smith, Wilbert – Flying Saucer Review. This document has previously been highlighted by some researchers (e.g. In various items by Grant Cameron, e.g. This memo was also discussed by skeptic Christopher D Allan in his mentioned above.
FilezDL » Sparkle Soundtrack download sparkle soundtrack free download. [MMF]Sparkle x Sparkle v02c10 zip mediafire size: (1 part) type: zip title: 50 50 soundtrack. Sparkle soundtrack download zip.
In that article, C D Allan suggested: “the Canadian authorities wanted to allow a period for interested parties to view the files before disposing of them; hardly the action of an authority intent on covering up important UFO data”. However, C D Allen appears to have misread the memo.
He says the memo “down-classified the files to the 'confidential' level, adding that they would be made available to persons in a bona-fide organisation”. In fact, the memo fairly clearly states that the material in the relevant file covers documents “relating to the studies behind project Magnet and, indeed, records much of the discussion in the Department of Transport surrounding project ‘Magnet”” and it this FILE which it was said should not be made available to the public at any time. The relevant documentation therefore went beyond the report itself but it was ONLY THE REPORT which that memo envisaged would be made available to some interested parties. Anyway, my point is merely to highlight that when considering partial extracts from the report presented by researchers, it is desirable to check the underlying document itself to see the precise wording of the relevant comments in their full context.
The purpose of making these searchable PDFs available is to make such checking easier and quicker. In any event, I found the memo interesting because it is yet another example of (unnecessary?) secrecy in relation to UFO studies. In relation to many of these UFO documents, an express or implied reason for the secrecy is to avoid faming the flames of interest in UFOs by giving any indication that any government agency has conducted any relevant investigation. However, in virtually all such cases that motive for secrecy has proved to be counter-productive. Eventually, information about the study has been revealed along with material indicating that the government authorities wanted to keep the relevant material from the public. This has fanned conspiracy theories in relation to government investigations into UFO reports.
Secrecy in respect of UFO reports and investigations feeds allegations of a 'cosmic watergate' (a term used by some ufologists when alleging that Governments are concealing evidence of extraterrestrial visitors to this planet). Even the University of Colorado report on UFOs ('the Condon Report') contains fairly strident criticisms of secrecy in relation to ufo reports. The Condon Report is not generally considered to be biased in favour of ETH proponents. However, a section by Condon himself includes the following: 'It would have been wise to have declassified all or nearly all of the previous reports of investigations of flying saucer incidents. But secrecy was maintained.
This opened the way for intensification of the ‘aura of mystery’ which was already impairing public confidence in the Department of Defense. Official secretiveness also fostered systematic sensationalized exploitation of the idea that a government conspiracy existed to conceal the truth.' The counter-productive nature of secrecy in relation to UFO investigations has been commented upon by various sceptics. For example, Carl Sagan has made the following comment in relation to the classification of UFO reports: 'The armed forces have a tendency to classify everything in sight. Then the fact that such cases are classified starts rumours. Somebody who is in a position to know realizes the Air Force does have relevant data; and it is just a short step to the idea of official conspiracy to suppress the truth. Had the data not been classified, then independent scientific judgments would have been possible.
In many cases, such independent scientific analysis would show that the cases have a natural explanation. The culprit is classification. I have a friend who says that in America today if you're not a little paranoid you're out of your mind. The military has a responsibility not to add further to the paranoia'. Carl Sagan in 'UFO's: A Scientific Debate' (1972) (edited by Carl Sagan and Thornton Page) at pages 273-274 (in Chapter 14) of the Norton paperback edition. Similarly, Steuart Campbell (another UFO skeptic) has said: In general, governmental agencies do not have the skill or knowledge to explain UFO reports. But rather than admit this, they either offer ridiculous explanations or conceal information that would enable others to explain them.
However, the secrecy involved gives the impression that something important is being concealed, fuelling the UFO myth. Governments are victims of their own preoccupation with secrecy.' 23 Steuart Campbell in his book 'The UFO Mystery Solved' (1994) at page 184 (in Chapter 12) of the Explicit Books softcover edition. It is ironic that a British Ministry of Defence report (“the Condign Report”) was itself kept secret for 6 years despite referring to a covert study group in the USA during the 1950s and commenting that 'the covertness of this investigation subsequently contributed greatly to charges of a government 'cover-up' (Volume 1, Chapter 1, page 1, para 2).
SECTION D: OTHER SELECTED PAGES One series of documents within the Canadian files relates to a report of a fallen “unidentified object” sent to Canadian authorities, with one of the more unusual explanations I’ve seen for such reports. Four pages from that series of documents are shown below (a to d). (a) Page 6621 (i.e.
Part 23, page 1 of 300 – ): Letter from witness stating that on 3rd August 1965 her son had been riding his bicycle when “an object fell from the sky barely missing him” and asking if the government could identify the object. Section E: Burnt by a UFO? The Falcon Lake incident As many of you may know Steve Michalak claimed to see, and be injured by, a UFO near Falcon Lake, Canada on 20 May 1967.
He claimed that a UFO landed near him in the woods, and that when he approached the object and touched it with his gloved hand, it soared away, its exhaust blast leaving a patterned burn on his abdomen and making him ill. This has become one of the classic cases in the history of ufology. This incident is Case 50 in my, since this case was referred to in 54 of the books covered by that article. This incident also featured in a document (“the Rockefeller Briefing Document”) endorsed by Dr Mark Rodeghier (President of CUFOS), Richard Hall (Chairman of FUFOR) and Walter Andrus (President of MUFON) as containing “the best available evidence for the existence of UFOs”.
The Falcon Lake incident has also been discussed in several threads on ATS (including and and has been covered in several UFO documentaries. Several relevant videos can be found on Youtube, including the following segment from the Unsolved Mysteries TV series. The Falcon Lake incident was one of the UFO incidents investigated as part of the famous (or infamous) UFO study of headed by Dr Edward Condon of the University of Colorado in the 1960s. A member of the Condon team, Roy Craig, visited Canada as part of the investigation of this incident. As outlined below, the results of Roy Craigs’ investigation were detailed in.
The Condon Report coverage does not refer to Michalak by name, but it is clearly. Roy Craig subsequently devoted a chapter (Chapter 2, i.e.
Pages 14 to 27) of his own book to this incident. The relevant chapter can be read online – see. Those interested can now read several sets of official Canadian documents relating to this incident. I have found two blocks of documentation relating to this incident, at URLs ending with numbers from (Page 5032) to (Page 5147) and from e002999671 (Page 7069) to e002999770 (Page 7163). (I have also seen a few documents relating to this incident scattered through the files). Various press clippings appear in the Canadian files and give an impression of the public interest in this particular case: Page 5044 (e002749608). The undershirt shown in the bottom half of that page of Roy Craig’s own book is also discussed in the section relating to: The undershirt which Mr.
A presented had been ripped apart in front, where it was burned. It also carried a patterned burn centered high on the back, the pattern matching, according to Mr. A, the pattern of the UFO's exhaust openings from which the burning vapors had spurted.
A had been burned only on the abdomen, with slight singeing of the forehead. The reason for the presence of a patterned burn on the back of the undershirt was not obvious. The point made by Roy Craig in the Condon Report about the patterned burn being on the back of the undershirt when Michalak had only been burned on the abdomen obviously impressed him, given that he highlights this point again in his book. The disclosed Canadian files include several documents regarding radiation in relation to this incident, including the one below.
The includes two discussions of the radioactivity, including this section: Samples of soil and moss from the area, portions of the burned shirt, and a six-foot measuring tape which Mr. A had left behind were brought to city A. All three were radioactive. When sent to city B for analysis, they were found to be so strongly radioactive that the Radiation Protection Division of the Dept. Of Health and Welfare considered restricting entry to the forest area from which they allegedly were taken.
A careful check of the site by a representative of this department revealed that the perimeter of the 'landing circle' and beyond were free of radioactive contamination. According to his report: “A thorough survey of the landing area was carried out, using a Tracerlab SU14, Admiral Radiac 5016, and a Civil Defense CDV 700 survey meter.
One small area was found to be contaminated. This was located across the crown of the rock. There was a smear of contamination about 0.5 x 8.0 inches on one side of the crack. There was also some lichen and ground vegetation contaminated just beyond the smear. The whole contaminated area was no larger than 100 square inches.
All water runoff areas were checked for possible contamination, but nothing was found”. No representative of an independent or official agency was present when the circular area alleged to be the landing site was rediscovered. In spite of an RCMP understanding with Mr.
A that no evidence should be removed from the area should he relocate it, radioactive soil samples, (fortuitously selected from the small contaminated area), remnants of cloth, and the measuring tape were represented as having been removed from the area. Why the cloth remnants and the tape were radioactive was never explained. While these items could have been contaminated by contact with the soil samples, reports received by the project indicated that the items were in separate plastic bags, and major contamination would not be expected. The partially-burned undershirt had earlier been found not to carry radioactive contamination. The tape would have been left some 160 ft. From the landing circle, in an area found to be free of radioactive contamination. Other individuals checked the site for radioactivity later.
One of these was Mr. Epp of city A, who searched the site in Fall of 1967 and found no radioactive material.
At the project's suggestion, he had the records of the Dept. Of Mines and Natural Resources searched for mineral claims in the area filed by Mr. This was requested because of the possibility that Mr. A had deliberately misdirected the earlier searches in order to protect mineral claims.
Such claims were filed by him, but not until later in the Fall. The Condon project never received a final report of the analyses of the soil samples taken by the Dept. Of Health and Welfare. The origin of this material is therefore an open question. The made the following comments in relation to this booklet “This account differs in some aspects from Mr. A's original reports. In the booklet, for example, Mr.
A is reported to have stuck his head into the open hatch of the 'saucer' and observed a maze of randomly flashing lights inside the craft. In earlier accounts, Mr.
A stated that he avoided going near the hatch and was unable to see inside it because of the brightness of the light coming from it. The account was chronologically jumbled, and showed a carelessness with fact.” The official Canadian files also include a multiple-page transcript of an interview of Michalak by the RCMP, the first page of which is shown below.
Section F: UFO crash? The Shag Harbour incident The Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia incident occurred on 4 October 1967, involving claims that a UFO descended into the water.
The includes the following: The Shag Harbour UFO Incident was the reported impact of an unknown large object into waters near Shag Harbour, a tiny fishing village in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia on October 4, 1967. The impact was investigated by various civilian (Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Canadian Coast Guard) and military (Royal Canadian Navy and Royal Canadian Air Force) agencies of the Government of Canada. The RCN conducted at least one underwater search to attempt to locate the remains of any associated objects. The Government of Canada declared that no known aircraft was involved and the source of the impact remains unknown to this day.
It is one of very few cases where government agency documents have formally declared an unidentified flying object was involved. This incident is the subject of a book entitled. It has also been covered in several threads on ATS (Jkrog08’s thread ) and in several documentaries. Those documentaries include the History Channel’s documentary entitled “Canada’s Roswell” (which formed part of the 2006 season of the “UFO Files” series). SECTION G: REFERENCES The purpose of this thread is merely to highlight the fact that the archive of Canadian documents which I’ve previously outlined in another thread: Further details of many of the above issues can be found online and in various UFO books.

Veteran ufologist Good doesn't mince words in this hefty international expose of hush-hush government involvement in UFO research: not only are UFOs real spacecraft, he asserts, but the USA may even have saucers & aliens secretly on ice. Moreover, he presents a warehouse of documentation-much of it anecdotal-to support his case.
As a frontline buttress to Good's clai Veteran ufologist Good doesn't mince words in this hefty international expose of hush-hush government involvement in UFO research: not only are UFOs real spacecraft, he asserts, but the USA may even have saucers & aliens secretly on ice. Moreover, he presents a warehouse of documentation-much of it anecdotal-to support his case. As a frontline buttress to Good's claims, England's former Chief of Defense Staff, Lord Hill-Norton, offers a spirited foreword crying 'cover-up' on the part of world governments. Good's dossier persuasively backs up this charge with a rundown-beefed up by info obtained via the Freedom of Information Act-on a horde of UFO encounters, government responses, & both open & clandestine state investigations into UFOs. First England, then assorted lands including China & the USSR, then the US come under his scrutiny; altho many of the encounters-e.g., the alleged recovery of alien bodies from crashed craft in Socorro, NM, in 1947 and in Aztec, NM, in 1948-are familiar, the sheer quantity of UFO sightings recounted here astounds. Particularly intriguing is Good's discussion of astronauts' reports-ranging from Mercury astronaut Donald Slayton's statement of spotting something that 'looked like a saucer, a disk' while testing a P-51 jet fighter to a credulity-stretching report that has ham-radio buffs picking up Apollo 11 calling Mission Control during the 1969 lunar landing & saying, 'I'm telling you there are other spacecraft out there.they're on the moon watching us.' More weighty, however, is Good's dogged tracking of the CIA & NSA's monitoring & suppression of UFO research-suppression mirrored in other countries (e.g., in Brazil via a Sao Paulo State directive forbidding media 'to divulge UFO reports without the prior censorship of the Brazilian Air Force').
There's no smoking gun here, but enough circumstantial evidence to convince that governments have, & are, withholding important data about UFOs. Good's encyclopedic approach blurs the eyes even as it overwhelms skepticism; not a grand read, then, but certainly a noteworthy contribution to the field.-Kirkus. This is a definitive work for anyone interested in the field of Ufology and one massive tome of a book that took me the better part of the summer to read.
That is because Good does something in it that few UFO books before had done: provide evidence. Nearly one-third of the book is declassified documentation obtained through FOIA requests and citations to publications and interviews that an industrious researcher may go and check for themselves.
Because it is so research-based, the text is rathe This is a definitive work for anyone interested in the field of Ufology and one massive tome of a book that took me the better part of the summer to read. That is because Good does something in it that few UFO books before had done: provide evidence. Nearly one-third of the book is declassified documentation obtained through FOIA requests and citations to publications and interviews that an industrious researcher may go and check for themselves. Because it is so research-based, the text is rather dry and makes for tedious reading at times. Readers looking for rollicking UFO tales of the kind found in The Weekly World News will no doubt be disappointed and I don't think that is such a bad thing. Good moves from nation to nation, including the US, Canada, Britain and much of Europe, devoting a healthy number of pages to how each government acquires its intelligence and then demonstrates how that has been applied to the UFO phenomenon.
Gradually, the case for a cover-up grows stronger as does the sensible rationale to have one in the first place. This is not to say that Good doesn't include his share of 'an anonymous source has told me that.'
Instances of hearsay. Such things are unavoidable when dealing with the subject of UFOs, otherwise there would be no 'conspiracy.' Not only that, but Good's stance can hardly be called a neutral one. His drive to conclusively prove a UFO cover-up comes through loud and clear. For instance, Good includes this correspondence he had with former NASA astronaut, Scott Carpenter (p. Carpenter said to Good: '.your continuing implication that I am lying and/or withholding truths from you. Your blindly stubborn belief in Flying Saucers makes interesting talk for a while, but your inability to rationally consider any thought that runs counter to yours makes further discussion of no interest-indeed unpleasant in prospect-to me.'
Regardless of his insistent fervor, Good did provide a much-needed publication to the UFO field by virtue of the included documentation alone. Given the book's publication date, it obviously does not include more recent developments or progressive speculations, but I was glad to read in the closing pages that Good entertains the possibility that UFOs come perhaps not from outer space, but other dimensions.
For anyone wanting or needing a baseline knowledge of the modern UFO mythos, this is essential reading. One of my best and oldest friends from high school did a stint as an editor for UFO Magazine after he moved from Chicago to San Francisco. Although I'd had an interest in the topic in elementary school, I'd pretty much let it go until he got involved.

Then, during annual visits with him here or in California, I'd read from his collection of books on the subject, this being one of those read in San Francisco. So far as I recall, this book is virtually a country by country listing of UFO events, demonstrating that the phenomenon, and, at the time, its cover-up, was world-wide. Level-headed overview of publications and documents from about the 1940s to 1980s. Drawing from cases in Flying Saucer Review, and many others, the book presents a worldwide phenomenon geographically (and geo-politically).
Instead of dwelling on any one event, the text continually moves on to further examples. That aspect makes it a bit dizzying, and even dry reading, a barrage of facts, reports and summaries, but actually its what lends the most credence to the whole subject of 'cover-up.'

That aspect makes it a bit dizzying, and even dry reading, a barrage of facts, reports and summaries, but actually its what lends the most credence to the whole subject of 'cover-up.' There is just so much data diversely collected here that the final impart to the reader is an overpowering sense of being left in the dark in a world where only special agencies are allowed access to reports of what is happening all over, where future technological possibilities are only afforded to the privileged and in-the-know set. I can say personally, that this elitist governmental agency control of information specifically pertaining to UFOs is very offensive to me, having come from a family of science fiction illustration dating back before the lid was sealed on public UFO reporting. My grandpa was doing flying saucer illustration on magazine covers from the 40s through the entire period covered in this book). It's been made quite clear that while a person could feel free to fantasize about aliens and spaceships via fictional outlets, the same is not true for factual information over the same half-century.
The book closes with about fifty pages of reproduced declassified documents and reports from agencies such as the FBI, CIA, Air Force Agencies, & NASA which work well to immerse a reader in the real situation. The situation is a cloistered honeycomb of secrets, where one person in one agency doesn't know what anyone else is doing in other governmental units. The elite few who have access to facts cannot, in my opinion work fast enough in their secrecy to achieve nearly as much as public disclosure would. I think the result is a stagnation. Meanwhile real evidence it simply filed informationally and moved between secret document resources out of the view of everyone else.
Bureaucracy with its inherent tunnel-vision has replaced action. The author is to be lauded for not taking a non-factual approach, to appeal to primitive sympathies of the reader.
He has written his piece to let the evidence present the case, with little pressure on the reader to form expected opinions, to 'believe.' Whether or not the UFO situation is indeed a real one, we are confronted with a picture of agencies manipulating and coveting information which was once public so that not only is it suppressed, but also it becomes distorted and meaningless. That's the cover-up, and that's what this book questions. Worldwide research, interviewing key witnesses and discussing the subject with astronauts, military and intelligence specialists, pilots, politicians and scientists, has established Timothy Good as a leading authority on UFOs and the alien presence - the most highly classified subject on Earth.

He became interested in the subject in 1955, when his passion for aviation and space led him to read a book by Major Donald Keyhoe describing UFO sightings by qualified observers such as military and civilian pilots. In 1961, after reading a book by Captain Edward Ruppelt, a U.S.
Air Force intelligence officer, he began to conduct his own research. Since then, he has amassed a wealth of evidence, including several thousand declassified intelligence documents.
Timothy Good has lectured at universities, schools, and at many organizations, including the Institute of Medical Laboratory Sciences, the Royal Canadian Military Institute, the Royal Geographical Society, the Royal Naval Air Reserve Branch, the House of Lords All-Party UFO Study Group, and the Oxford and Cambridge Union societies. In January 1989, following the dissolution of the Soviet empire, he became the first UFO researcher from the West to be interviewed on Russian television. He was invited for discussions at the Pentagon in 1998, and at the headquarters of the French Air Force in 2002. He has also acted as consultant for several U.S. Congress investigations. He is known to millions through his numerous television appearances and has co-produced several documentaries on the subject.
Timothy Good's first book, Above Top Secret: The Worldwide UFO Cover-up (1987) became an instant bestseller, and is regarded widely as the definitive work on the subject, together with the fully revised and updated book replacing it, Beyond Top Secret: The Worldwide UFO Security Threat (1996), which remained for five weeks on the Sunday Times bestseller list. Alien Liaison: The Ultimate Secret (1991) spent thirteen weeks on the same bestseller list. Alien Base: Earth's Encounters with Extraterrestrials (1998) went to No.4 on the Guardian bestseller list. His book, Unearthly Disclosure: Conflicting Interests in the Control of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (2000) was serialized in the Daily Mail. He has also edited a number of books on the subject, including the bestselling Alien Update (1993). Four of these books have a foreword by Admiral of the Fleet The Lord Hill-Norton, former Chief of the Defence Staff and Chairman of the NATO Military Committee.
Need to Know: UFOs, the Military and Intelligence (2006/2007) is now published in paperback in the U.K., U.S and Canada. Good’s latest work - EARTH: An Alien Enterprise – is due for publication by Pegasus Books (New York) in November 2013.
In Dimensions, the first volume of a trilogy, Dr. Jacques Vallee reexamines the historical record that led to the modern UFO phenomenon and to the belief in alien contact. He then tackles the enigma of abduction reports, which come from various times and various countries, as well as the psychic and spiritual components of the contact experience. In the last portion of the book, he notes the factors that inhibit research into the phenomenon – the triple coverup and political motivations – and concludes that the extraterrestrial theory is simply not strange enough to explain the facts.
The Mantell Incident: An Anatomy of an Investigation, is more than a diary of what happened each day. It includes transcripts of discovered documents and 'lost' press releases, as well as actual copies of important documents. The report includes analyses by numerous researchers of specific issues. The Report would not be complete without the analytical expertise of independent researcher, Brad Sparks, who wrote the very detailed analysis based on all the evidence collected. Jkrog's thread about the case. Three years ago, in a book entitled The Flying Saucers Are Real, I reported the results of my first investigation into this world-wide mystery.
At that time I stated my belief that the U.S. Air Force knew the answer and was hiding it from the public. Since July, 1952, in a new investigation of the saucers, I have been privileged to cooperate with the Air Force. Because of my present understanding of their very serious problem, and certain dangers inherent in the situation, I have been given information unknown to most Americans. Scores of impressive sighting reports by service pilots have been cleared for me, with the conclusions of Air Technical Intelligence—some so incredible they would have been ridiculed two or three years ago.
As a result of this close association, this book reveals, I believe, all that the Air Force has learned about the flying saucers. It also explains the contradictions that have come, from time to time, from various Defense officials, as well as the reasons for official silence. Accounts of phenomena popularly referred to as 'flying saucers,” more dignifiedly labeled 'unidentified flying objects' or UFOs, continue to persist in the world news. The reports of these strange phenomena of the skies have been attracting public attention for thirteen years and there is apparently no let-up in sight. Although within a given region on earth long lulls between sightings have been noted, during such local lulls, other parts of the world have witnessed extra concentrations of sightings.
New Year's Eve 1982 marked the beginning of one of the most puzzling UFO cases in recent times: the Hudson Valley 'siege.' The siege begot over 7,000 sightings of a boomerang-shaped craft or crafts moving silently through the sky over New York and Connecticut between 1982 and 1995. Night Siege is the collaborative effort of Hynek, Imbrogno, and Pratt to report the data gathered from witnesses of this mystifying experience, without speculation of what it might be. The 'Westchester Boomerang' was a UFO reported by hundreds of people in New York State and Connecticut between 1983 and 1986 and described by most witnesses as a hovering, immense V-shaped series of flashing lights connected by a dark structure. UFO investigators Imbrogno (Crosswalks Across the Universe) and Pratt write in detail about the 'close encounters' of some 900 people who filled out 'witness forms.'
The UFO Files by Dr David Clarke - extract: This remarkable book tells the story of over 100 years of UFO sightings, drawing on formerly secret reports released to The National Archives by the Ministry of Defence. Original records reveal how British Intelligence and the CIA investigated many Cold War sightings, from the Roswell incident of 1947 to ghost aircraft, Radar Angels to the RAF's confidential files. New light is shed on many famous cases, such as RAF Topcliffe, 1952; the Flying Cross in Devon, 1967; RAF West Freugh, Scotland, 1957; the Berwyn Mountains UFO crash and the Phantom Helicopter Mystery, as well as the notorious 'Welsh Triangle' and the Rendlesham Forest incident. Dramatic witness statements and personal interviews - many undertaken by the author himself - combine with rarely seen photographs, drawings and newly available documents to bring these extraordinary experiences vividly to life. From aerial phenomena of the First World War to crop circles and a secret UFO study of more recent times, The UFO Files offers a unique guide to our most intriguing mysteries. Hey UFO Partisan thanks for the reply matey and I certainly agree about Ruppelt's book - if you've not seen it before then Michael Swords also lists some very good reading material in his report 'A Guide to UFO Research': A Guide to UFO Research MICHAEL D. SWORDS Department of Science Studies, Western Michigun University, Kalamazoo, MI 49008 The very natural query of the interested intellectual: what should 1 read to understand the status of the UFO Phenomenon?, has no simple answer.
This review article briefly examines the characteristics of the 'UFO Problem' and relates those characteristics to the problem of ignorance in the academic community. An 'inside look' at the appropriate library for the 'working UFOlogist' is then explored. Known principally as an investigator of the UFO phenomenon ( Dimensions ) and a science fiction novelist, the French-born Vallee (now a resident of the U.S.) has also worked as a computer scientist in both academia and industry.

Ufologists will not find the answers to all of their questions here, for although Vallee believes that UFOs exist, he has no idea just what they are. Therein lies the excellence of his dazzling diary: it offers a glimpse into the mind of a scientist who seems to challenge every preconception and established piety. To his academic training as a mathematician and scientist, which stressed rational approaches to problems, Vallee has brought an interest in the mystical, the psychical, the paranormal.
