I've read scores of books and articles about the UFO phenomena but none that I'd call charming. This book is charming enough to get around many of the defenses people like myself put up against claims that Earth is being visited by technologically sophisticated extraterrestrial species. If it were a book about ghosts, I'd be turning on all the lights and checking the locks--and I definitely don't believe in ghosts!

One of my book groups read this and I will say that it sparked a lively discussion. Whether you believe in alien ( star people ) visitors or not, this book is full of intriguing stories told to the author by fellow American Indians. She states more than once that many American Indian cultures are generally more receptive to the idea of UFOs because they believe Star People are their ancestors. To me, some accounts were very convincing, but there were others that were really difficult for me to f

This books stinks. The bitch author manages to turn what might be interesting encounter stories into sentimental slop. I haven't even finished it and probably wont. Don't waste your money. This woman is totally self-absorbed. Instead of telling the stories of the people who had encounters with UFOs or Star People, she tells about her relationship with those who had the encounters. It's a lot of touchy-feely crap that no one is interested in (at least I'm not). She gives only a cursory account of

Amazing
I had no idea there were stories like this. I'm not sure what to say other than you have to read this book. Whether you believe the stories or not it is an extremely intriguing read.

I gave this book a three based on the fact that it was kind of disgusting that every interviewee ate food during the interview and that 80% of the interviewees died somehow soon after being interviewed. I had a feeling that most of these stories are fake. If the people describing the events in the book actually existed then I would give it five stars. No way of knowing though so I take it with a grain of salt. Very interesting read
Excellent! It is a brave move for an academic to address forbidden topics such as this. Fascinating and engaging and totally believable. The truth behind it can't be known, of course, but here is an author willing to listen and take seriously what Indians have experienced in a very strange realm. See more at: Sects and Violence in the Ancient World.
This is a very interesting book recounting stories of Native Americans who have reportedly had encounters with UFOs and alien life forms. The Native Americans wholly believe they are descended from the "Star People" and have been intermingled with them since the beginning of their being.
Some of the stories are very believable, of course, some sound so off the wall, but if you're interested in this subject it's a very good book.

Fantastic! High-five to the Native Americans for their integrity and revered connection to the Star Family in this book.
It is so refreshing to read the interviews of Natives who do not gain anything from sharing their ET experiences.
I admire their courage in these encounters as some events are quite frightening, and yet these brave man and woman non-violently handled it very well.
The Natives should be our ET-Human Contact Ambassadors for humanity!

One of the best books I have read on the subject of alien encounters. It smashes the modern mythology that people how see aliens are "fantasy prone" or even "new age believers" - relating the stories of common everyday people doing common everyday things when they find themselves faced with aliens. Wonderful!
Awesome!
Ardy Sixkiller is a consummate storyteller and has
a wonderful way of putting you right beside her on the reservations while she is getting these events recorded....these are wonderful, humble people telling their stories. I now have all 3 of her books and long to read more!

Well done
Interesting and we'll written. One of my son's in law is Indian and very honest. If these stories were to.d by whites I would be skeptical but Co I got from Indians I believe they are true.

I loved this book. It was such a breath of fresh air, reading about UFO and alien encounters from a completely different point of view, that of the Native Americans. I think this book is an absolute must read for any serious UFO researcher, and for the average UFO buff like me. Great stories.
All of the alien and ufo stories validated by the Native American perspective
Very good unique alien tales
Interesting and astounding on many levels but oh, so repetitive. Weird knowing what each interviewee ate during the interview.
