From Booklist Jim Marrs is best known for Crossfire:
The Plot That Killed Kennedy (1989),
the book that Oliver Stone's film JFK
was partially based on. Now Marrs attacks
new mysteries and conspiracies in this
extensive review of UFO history and
government cover-ups. After describing
his own UFO sighting near Jackson,
Mississippi, in 1952, Marrs recounts his
involvement with other UFO cases as a
newspaper reporter and his suspicions
that the U.S. government knows much more
about aliens than it will admit. As his
title indicates, the author has concluded
that UFOs are piloted by
extraterrestrials of various types and
with diverse motives. However, rather
than taking that conclusion for granted,
Marrs guides his readers through 50 years
of UFO history that includes some
less-traveled byways, off-ramps, and dead
ends. He incorporates an ample amount of
information from UFO books of the 1960s
and 1970s--strange lights on the moon,
the ancient-astronaut theories of Erich
von Daniken, cattle mutilations, Nazi
saucers at the South Pole, the contactees
of the 1950s--and updates it credibly
with UFO data from the 1980s and 1990s,
providing a reasonable survey of
abductions, secret underground UFO bases,
the MJ-12 group, crop circles, remote
viewing, and channeling. How can
something as momentous as contact with
aliens be kept secret? In an appendix,
Marrs refers to the Bilderbergers and the
Council on Foreign Relations as examples
of how small groups of powerful
individuals can withhold information and
manipulate world events. The facts are
mostly accurate, and the writing is crisp
and journalistic. George Eberhart--This

unavailable edition of this title.
Good read and some really
new information, May 10, 2003
Reviewer:
A reader from Washington,
D.C.
Excellent reading with some really new
information. The research, writing and
organization of material by the Author is
way above average. If you haven't bought
a general review of UFOs, Alien Contact,
and Secret Government Conspiracy, then
I'd say this is a 'must read.' Also, Dr.
Paul Hill's Unconvential Flying Objects
has lenghty details about the crafts and
sightings that will please both the
novice and scientist.
And of course Brad Steiger's Alien
Rapture is in a category all by itself in
combining an exciting novel with newly
released documents and detailed
description of the flying triangle as
well as why the government(s) have kept
the secret and what is at stake. I've
read all three of these selections from
Amazon and I suggest you read all the
reviews before buying. For the first
timer, this is an excellent general guide
to read.
I highly recommend you check out all
of Jim Marrs books on Amazon. This is
just one example of his amazing writing
and research.
