Non reconnu - Un exposé du secret le mieux gardé au monde - La présence extraterrestre
The Biggest Lie in History is about to be Shattered.
UFOs are real. In late June of 1947, three extraterrestrial craft were downed outside Roswell Air Force Base. Many more followed, revealing dozens of ET species and a Rosetta Stone to a new physics an energy generation and propulsion system responsible for interstellar space travel. This new system could have easily replaced oil, gas, coal, nuclear plants and with them, the entire geo-political and economic order on our planet -- only a cabal of bankers, the Military Industrial Complex, and Big Oil stopped it. We've been lied to. And now, 70 years after Roswell the witnesses to that lie have come forward to testify in a MUST-READ book that will shock the world. Look for the accompanying documentary to be released from The Orchard, a division of Sony.

I am a bit astounded that this book was ever published in the first place. Not because of the subject matter; there is a huge audience for these sorts of books. I like UFO (uh, I mean ETVs, p. 26) stories, although I prefer ghost stories. No, the reason I'm astounded is that the "power elite," the secret cabal that actually runs our country (p. 255), would allow such a thing to happen. I mean, either the power elite (i.e., military-industrial complex) is all powerful or not; either the elite is willing to murder witnesses (p. v), or it isn't. I guess the elite managed to keep the book cover image off of Goodreads, so that is something!
There is a fundamental conundrum about "power elite" explanations of U.S. politics. If everything they do is secret, how can we ever know for sure what they are doing? Exposés like the ones here might and perhaps by necessity must be disinformation, spread by the elite itself to keep the masses guessing. How do we know that the author, who claims to have meet with members of this cabal, is not himself a member of the secret elite? We don't.
I teach my students to think critically. That is, never take anybody's word for anything. Look at the facts and make up your own mind. If a student quotes an authority, I always point out that you can't take the word of an authority to be a "fact" unless you have examined the authority's facts, come to your own conclusion, and then state whether the authority is correct or not. So, what facts does the author present to the reader?
First, let me summarize some of the author's conclusions. There are extraterrestrial biological entities (EBENS, p. 25), he has met them, members of the power elite have met them (including Eisenhower, p. 234; see also p. 89), and physical evidence (e.g., bodies) has been recovered and examined (p. 210). There "are thirty-seven ET species that are known at this time...might have been as many as thirty-nine" (p. 90). The power elite has reversed engineered the ETVs' technology (p. 214), in particular "anti-gravitics" (p. 200) and zero-point energy sources (p. 63), giving rise to Alien Reproduction Vehicles (ARVs, p. 239) as well as ETVs. This technology would literally have earth-shattering consequences (pp. 228-30), but it is being kept secret by the power elite because, well, they want "control" (p. 171). The EBENs are peaceful and benign, and it is the power elite that consider them enemies, mostly because the military-industrial complex is so profitable.
Okay, so what are his facts? The book mostly provides "testimonies" from eyewitnesses. As I argued above, eyewitness testimony is not a "fact." The attestants are in most cases honorable men and women who have no obvious reasons for lying about what they saw and experienced. But this raises another series of questions. Why did they violate their oaths of secrecy? Can the reader trust the word of oath-breakers? Aren't the attestants worried about the legal consequences of violating their oaths? More worrisome, aren't the attestants concerned about retaliation by the power elite against themselves and their families?
The author claims that, since all of the eyewitnesses reported on illegal operations by a cabal, their oaths are null and void (pp. 261-2). The possibility of physical harm, however, is always a possibility by a secret cabal that obviously doesn't give a crap about the law. Indeed, the book is filled with examples of murder, kidnap, and fear of reprisals for what the eyewitnesses experienced. There are TWEP threats ("terminate with extreme prejudice," p. 76). The author claims that his "own life and has been threatened several times and I have lost dear friends and colleagues who were murdered" (p 76). Thankfully, I suppose, the author reports that "To this day, none of these top secret witnesses has been prosecuted, harassed, or injured" (p. 260; emphasis in original). Whew.
The author provides more factual evidence in the form of photographs and declassified government documents. Although "more factual," declassified documents are still "testimonies" unless the underlying facts that led to the communication can be viewed or experienced by the reader. Then there are the photographs. The photos are, as is the case with almost every other picture of UFOs (ETVs?) I have ever seen, a bit fuzzy and difficult to authenticate. But here is the clincher: the author claims to have met EBENS and to have viewed ETVs first hand, along with many of his supporters. So, where are his pictures of the ETVs and EBENs that he has seen? Not here. Didn't the author take a camera (or smart phone) to any of his encounters? If he did, he is keeping those pictures to himself and not sharing them with readers.
So, what do I make of this book? I prefer ghost stories.
P.S. Now I guess we have a cover image of the book. The power elite is slipping up here.

If you're a follower of UFO lore, you've probably already heard much of what this fascinating book contains, given it mostly comprises eyewitness accounts of encounters with UFOs. However, what you may have heard on the numerous TV shows on the subject is but a very mild prelude to what is clearly “the rest of the story.” It takes quite a bit to surprise me,but I was definitely taken aback by much of what came out. For example, there's a whole lot more to the Rendelsham Forest incident that has been covered in multiple documentaries. There is quite a bit of more information regarding good ol' Roswell, as well as a considerable amount of information related to government involvement and the inevitable massive cover-ups.
Apparently, some of the UFOs seen are ETVs, i.e., extraterrestrial vehicles, while others are ARVs, alien reproduction vehicles, or those that have been built on Earth, based on back-engineering captured craft. ETVs have numerous capabilities our replicas lack, because some technologies have not yet been cracked sufficiently for us earthlings to duplicate. For example, the technology required to access other dimensions apparently still eludes us, in spite of all the mathematical antics of our best theoretical physicists. Then again, knowing something is there is a long ways from knowing how to access, much less use it, the job of which lies with engineers. That said, there is still a considerable amount of evidence that we are technologically far more advanced and our space exploration activities much more extensive than we've been led to believe.
Of course, this is where the conspiracy side of this subject comes to bear. In many respects, the alleged truth is so far-fetched, it's no wonder numerous people refuse to believe such things exist. However, the fact remains that the number of credible witnesses coupled with the number of key people who have gone public on such things, including those who have mysteriously disappeared or turned up dead of suspicious causes, speaks volumes.
The real question unbelievers must ask themselves is why would anyone lie about such matters, knowing it could put their life at stake?
As a science fiction author I was quite astounded by the fact that much of the technology in my novels already exists. If you've ever heard the rumor that some of Steven Spielberg's movies such as “ET: The Extraterrestrial” and “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” were planned leaks, this book seems to confirm that, as well as various other movies. Brace yourself, but I got the impression that just about anything I thought was too far out to be true, actually exists. Whoa!
The sad part is why this suppression has occurred. As you can probably guess, it's all about money. If some of these technologies came out, such as those that can provide free energy, to say nothing of anti-gravity devices, some industries which defend their financial interests with a heavy albeit deadly hand would be forced out of business, such as power companies, the petrochemical and automobile industries, and most likely pharmaceutical manufacturers as well.
It's indeed sad to think that there are people so full of greed that they think nothing of polluting our planet and forcing the populace as a whole to a lower standard of living than would be possible if these marvels were revealed. The corruption at governmental and corporate levels that sustains this travesty is so deep that eliminating it is next to impossible. With all due respect, such upsets in these industries would definitely impact the economy. There are enough people out of work as it is, much less if these disappeared. It's these very tentacles that keeps these industries alive, beyond sheer greed.
However, I must say that I have my suspicions regarding Elon Musk, who seems to be walking the interface between them. Ever wonder exactly who he is and where he gets the money for his endeavors? Hmmmm....
What Greer suggests, and has founded an organization to support such an action, is for all those who have witnessed these things, at whatever level, from simply seeing a UFO to building an ARV, to come forward. This has happened to a small degree in the past, where former government officials, mostly from Canada and the United Kingdom, have admitted to this cover-up. Greer is proposing something much larger and more pervasive, a massive movement by the people to object and resist this heinous deception.
Perhaps, one of the most incredible things Greer suggests is that extraterrestrials, in addition to being among us in numbers which we can't even conceive, are on our side and want to help us rid our planet of this despicable situation. Clearly, offworld civilizations with the engineering knowledge to build ETVs could surely annihilate us if they chose to do so. In fact, their concern is that we will ultimately destroy ourselves.
It's more than interesting that the Roswell incident, that brought this situation out and remains its cornerstone, occurred in that location because that is where the USA began conducting nuclear testing back in the 40s. Assuming those on other planets had been observing these self-destructive antics on Earth, it's no wonder they showed up here to warn us in no uncertain terms to quit this insanity, back during the Cold War days between Russia and NATO.
This begs the question of where are these concerned ETs now, and why aren't they giving similar lectures and warnings to North Korea and the various other insane nations who are saber-rattling at this time? Or have they abandoned us to determine our own fate?
This book is but the tip of the iceberg of what is going on out there behind the scenes, entirely off the radar of the average person. We will be allowed to destroy ourselves and our planet if we so choose, but what kind of idiots would do such a thing? The answer to that lies on the news, fake and otherwise, where humanity has certainly demonstrated what a bloodthirsty and ruthless lot some of us are.
Whether or not you believe in UFOs, extraterrestrials, other dimensions or whatever, this book contains a boat load of information people need to have. Even if you read it with a grain of salt the size of Gibralter, and believe only a small fraction of what it contains, there is plenty to be concerned about. The future of the human race could easily depend on resistance from everyday individuals who have had enough. If nothing else, again ask yourself why anyone would lie about such things? Attention, fame, or fortune are out of the question.
There's a lot of disturbing information in this book. It has all sorts of implications, some of which will definitely bother those with strong religious convictions. All I can say to that is that God works in mysterious ways. Maybe the beings reported as angels in holy writ were indeed extraterrestrials. When you think about it, God, by definition, is an extraterrestrial. At this point in time, considering the condition of life on Earth coupled with prophecy, maybe it's time to pay attention. Maybe some of what Greer talks about has a bearing you wouldn't expect from a secular source.
Truth is stranger than fiction, and this book definitely treads in that territory. Don't miss it. If you do, you might miss your ride off this demented planet when the time comes to get out of Dodge. For the depth of research and sometimes unfathomable content I haven't seen previously, I give it 5-stars. (I haven't read any of Greer's books before, but will now. Perhaps some of the information is redundant and thus won't be a surprise to those who have read his other works.)

"They're just people like us"
Steven M. Greer
1-According to Steven Greer, Marilyn Monroe* was murdered because she knew about the aliens (Roswell, namely); and she could disclose on.
2-Many of earth's problems could be solved if some technologies/projects were divulged.
(...)
3-Greer believes in peaceful interstellar contact.

Whew! Down the rabbit hole...
I had to renew this a couple of times from the library. It's not that it's uninteresting; in fact, it's absolutely fascinating! Unfortunately, it's also somewhat repetitive, and if you're not someone who loves poring over witness testimonies and documents, you might find the book to be a bit of a slog.
I read it because I'd watched the Netflix documentary of the same name and wanted to find out more. Does the book go into more detail? Yes. Is that necessary? Well... for the average person, I'd say probably not.
There are a few important takeaways here. The first is being aware of how we're all manipulated. The book focuses specifically on the tactics used to hide information about UFOs and ETs from the public, although when you see the methods used, you can easily see how it's applied to all sorts of other topics. Basically, if you want to control the narrative, you discredit anyone telling the truth... by any means necessary. (This is why there's the stereotype of the "crazy" UFO believer.)
Much of this book focuses on UFOs and alien technology... but I found the information on ZPE (zero-point energy) far more interesting... and frustrating. Without the pernicious influence of those with vested interests in grotesque profits for themselves, we might now be living in a world of clean, unlimited energy... and we almost certainly wouldn't be facing the current environmental crisis. It's infuriating to realize that we've been held back by nearly a century (technologically speaking) by those who seek to maintain control.
Even more worrisome is what these players might do to maintain control, including perhaps staging a false-flag alien attack (using technology reverse-engineered from crashed ships) to "unite" the world against a common enemy... when, really, the enemy is entirely human.
Many will write books like this off as conspiracy ramblings. It's easy to see why. But when you read testimonial after testimonial from credible witnesses (including military leaders with high security clearance), the similarities of their accounts are so similar as to suggest there really is something to these conspiracy "theories". Personally, I don't see how we could possibly be alone in the universe, and it's highly disturbing to me that the people who are acting as ambassadors for Earth are probably the last people who should be doing so. (Hopefully, the ETs realize that we don't all have such questionable motives and ethics.)
I would recommend this book to those who are interested in these topics, but I would highly recommend checking out the documentary first. It sums everything up nicely and it's a lot more digestible, especially for people who aren't obsessed with the topic.

Ok...First this book deals with real fact based accounts of Alien visitation. If you believe, and they have come here and the Worlds Governments know that we are not, and cannot be alone in this vast Universe, then this is one of the most important books of our time. It deals with the blocking of alternative energy patients, the hold of the oil families and Middle eastern governments who hold the petro dollar hostage and our world hostage for pure greed. The evidence is there that we have technology to provide clean and free energy and move our world forward to a better place. Reading this book made some very clear connections for me and what is going on in the world. Read it with an open mind and you will understand the intent of this book, and based on the Disclosure of our Government's Advanced Aero Threat project announced on 16 December 2017 in the NYT, this book NOW BECOMES very relevant.

Give me a break. This isn't even well-organized enough to be a fun nonsense book about aliens and secret governmental conspiracies- it's a jumbled procession of testimonials that are either boring or cartoonishly insane, such as the movie ET being based on actual events.
The preface to the book purports that it will expose a vast conspiracy whose powers involve committing murder and that its members have access to secrets that are "38 levels higher than top secret." Yet they couldn't stop this guy publishing this? If you're interested in Area 51 and, you know, actual government cover-ups, read Annie Jacobsen's book, Area 51: An Uncensored History of America's Top Secret Military Base.

Loved the fascinating Netflix documentary so decided to read the book. Equally fascinating and intriguing, the book was excellent. If all this is true it is truly horrifying what the pwers to be are keeping from us and their own president.

Thank you 😊
Thanks we need this excellent information bless you and all of the brave people and your continued endeavor. May more help in your plans.!!!!

I'm sorry, but it's hard for me to just have fun with the UFO lore when you claim So-and-so has a clearance "38 levels above top secret." Yeah, and my dad works at Nintendo.

Deja Vu
An interesting, but by no means revelatory read with regards to content. Let's be honest, most who purchase this book are aficionados on the subject, and nothing in this book will reveal anything that you haven't read, seen or previously heard already. Anecdotal evidence is elaborated on in some cases by witnesses, but the usual names will be present and correct with very little, if any, new evidence at all.
Dr. Greers expose of the world's greatest secret is underwhelming, much like the Sirius film before it which, by the end of the movie, asked more questions than it answered. Greer's conviction is that these otherworldly entities are benevolent in nature due to their lack of aggression toward us, but I'm not convinced. Human beings, in most cases, do things for remuneration and luxuries that they otherwise wouldn't obtain as so to secure their financial future and that of their loved ones. A lot of these endeavours are immoral by most people's standards, but the greed and avarice that we as human beings know and need is enough to have us commit to these activities.
What you need to ask yourself is, how easy is it to manipulate our own kind into doing things through earning a wage and affording a good life for our families, even if we step on others and show no scruples in the process? If extraterrestrials were malevolent and perhaps hundreds or thousands of years ahead of us technologically, their art of subjudgation would wield more finesse than the overt concept of simply destroying us with their superior technology. The absence of such actions would be enough for some to assume as proof of their benevolence (Greer, et al).
I'm sure if an extraterrestrial agenda was sinister and their clandestine purpose involved keeping us alive (for whatever reason), the action of simply wiping us out wouldn't yield the desired results. Better to corrupt those in power with a "wage" to perform unscrupulous acts. After all, the gifts and temptation offered by a vastly superior species would be too attractive to dismiss by greedy, power-hungry humans. Why destroy when you can control from within? After all, collusion among humans is not such a rare thing after all, is it?
Columbus' odysseys wasn't particularly good for the natives. Scientists tell us that the laws of physics permeate the universe, and that life here on Earth is more likely not unique to our small, blue planet. Perhaps we could extrapolate that recognisable behaviour is prevalent among advanced civilizations in other galaxies, in so much that there's a hierarcy in place, i.e. survival of the fittest. In a perfect world these beings would provide us with all the answers to our questions and the solutions to our problems, but the alternative is equally plausible... and terrifying.
An interesting, but by no means revelatory read with regards to content. Let's be honest, most who purchase this book are aficionados on the subject, and nothing in this book will reveal anything that you haven't read, seen or previously heard already. Anecdotal evidence is elaborated on in some cases by witnesses, but the usual names will be present and correct with very little, if any, new evidence at all.
Dr. Greers expose of the world's greatest secret is underwhelming, much like the Sirius film before it which, by the end of the movie, asked more questions than it answered. Greer's conviction is that these otherworldly entities are benevolent in nature due to their lack of aggression toward us, but I'm not convinced. Human beings, in most cases, do things for remuneration and luxuries that they otherwise wouldn't obtain as so to secure their financial future and that of their loved ones.

Talk about timely. What if we hadn't had a need for fossil fuels for decades? What if the advanced propulsion systems evident in UAP's (''unidentified anomalous phenomena,'' formerly called ''UFO's'') - a nonpolluting, zero point, anti-gravitic, ''free energy'' system - had been reverse engineered for years, yet denied public access by elements of the ''military industrial complex? Far-fetched? Whistleblowers, finally protected by law, are now coming forward, revealing that, yes, UAP craft have been retrieved and successfully reverse engineered! The sensational news has prompted upcoming Congressional Hearings and bipartisan pressure on the Pentagon to release UFO records from the past 80 years...This powerful book was one that broke the ground, along with the momentous Lesley Kean NY Times expose in 2017, that helped bring this pivotal issue out of black ops darkness into the light. ''Unacknowledged'' is an essential primer, not only a startling look at the potential planet-saving implications of ''free energy''and the fierce attempts at coverup, it is a riveting account of the entire UAP history - the surge in sightings after the atomic explosions of the mid 40's, the early clumsy attempts at coverup, right through the ''unacknowledged'' black projects ever since. I hate to use a hackneyed phrase, but this is truly a ''mind-blowing'' book and one that needs to be read widely. We don't have much time before our planet becomes uninhabitable. Only massive public awareness and action can bring about the essential changes needed to ensure a sustainable future. The change over to ''free energy'' would entail massive geopolitical and economic disruptions, but could save life on earth. An excellent companion book to get up to speed would be Ross Coulthart's ''In Plain Sight.''

Need to Know!
You need to know! This is an important work vital to the very survival of the Earth. Too much has been kept secret, placing us at the mercy of a secret cabal controlling our life's.
This cabal is responsible for our wars and is holding back scientific achievement which can eliminate our dependence on oil and gas. Our power needs will be satisfied without using polluting elements, geothermal resources and nuclear power.
Why have these discoveries been held back? Because of greed. We've heard stories for years about new processes in automotives being blocked by the petroleum industry.
Most of these startling advances have come from reverse engineering captured UFO's. Before you dismiss these claims as outrageous, read this book cover to cover.
After reading the book, view the video "Unacknowledged". It's time for the entire human race to be made aware of the truth which has been illegally withheld from us for decades. Withheld not only from us but from our elected leaders including the president.
Secret projects have placed us in real danger and withheld vital knowledge. It's time for full disclosure.

I have been a follower of Steven Greer for a couple of years now and out of all the spokesman about the subject of UFO’s and extraterrestrials, I honestly feel he is the most credible source. The evidence he supplies with documentation, interviewing credible witnesses, and telling his personal accounts are hard to ignore. This book was very well researched. I only wish he could have shared more of his personal views. But I understand his MO; he wants to prove his point with credible sources. Whether you believe in extraterrestrial species or not, this is a truly fascinating read. A lot of this book also discusses zero point gravity technology, which is truly intriguing. If this technology exists, I could see why the fossil fuel industry/lobby will do anything in its power to shut it down since it would make them obsolete. I also highly recommend reading Hidden Truth Forbidden Knowledge; it is actually my favorite of Dr. Greer’s works.

Those who buy into the UFO phenomenon will be all over this book. It's tone is certainly more conspiratorial than even the X-Files. While some of Dr. Greer's claims are plausible (i.e., the government has been aware of alien visitation since Roswell and has used cover-up after cover-up to keep the citizenry unaware), much of the book contained too much paranoia for my liking. Greer's claim that hundreds of lives have been taken by government black ops operations to keep the country in the dark, is frankly, a little too dark for this reviewer. His contention that the world will soon be exposed to a "major event" created by our government to further confuse the situation is a little hard to swallow.
Still, Greer's research and passion make this an interesting and important read for most Ufologists.

Extremely interesting book!
I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the subject. It gives an in depth look into the biggest conspiracy ever! A must read!

Blew my mind. I love aliens, ETs, UFOs, etc. So this book was very interesting to me. I buzzed through it really quickly because I couldn't put it down. Fascinating.

Incredible testimony from credible witnesses
I was familiar with the author of this book, Dr Steven Greer, from watching the Unacknowledged documentary and other articles and videos on the UFO topic.
This book is a series of extracts and comments on testimonies given by (some very high rankings) military and industrial contractors who profess to have been a part of UFO-related projects, and are disclosing what they’ve learned.
Firstly, I’ll say that if you’re a deep skeptic or non-believer, then you’ll probably find this book to be a work of pure fantasy from crackpot conspirators theorisers.
However, the individuals giving the testimonies appear legitimate, and if they are crackpots, then there are an awful lot of them! These are people who have worked in positions of some importance in the military or government. So, there is a story here, one way or another.
The testimonies themselves are mind-blowing. They range from encounters with extra-terrestrial creatures, to the recovery (and reverse engineering of) alien technologies.
Dr. Greer closes the book by giving a stark warning that while he’s seen no evidence of alien species posing any threat to us, that the military industrial complex is planning a false-flag event to make sure our next big (and expensive) war is an interplanetary one.
I truly hope this is all conspiracy theories!
However, with the “normalisation” of UFO news is the mainstream media of late, we should all be very concerned if there is suddenly an extra-terrestrial “threat” appearing on our radar. It’s likely to be based on untrue “facts” (similar to the last Gulf War).
Fantasy, or a very disturbing and hidden reality? I can’t tell - but I will say this book was an amazing read!

This book sadly doesn’t tell you anything you don’t already know.
Is there a conspiracy? Sure. There have always been plenty. Does this book expose any meaningful information? No.
And something that really bothers me: so you are interviewing ex-military people, or people in high places in massive/powerful corporations, and yet they use the phrase they don’t remember this and that, and specific details? Really? These men and women are hardened by years of service, are used to memorizing loads of info because it was critical to their work, yet now they cannot remember specifics?
Another thing, about compartmentalization: so you work at a highly classified project, or you are a guard or something, and another guy comes in because he has a certain clearance or works on another project, and you casually say “hey, this is where we keep the aliens and their UFOs”? Really now? I don’t give away information about my work and my life certainly doesn’t depend on it, yet these guys just give away the very info they are supposed to guard with their lives?
Things like that make me doubt books like this. I respect the people that come out and share info, but in the end I cannot believe them because of the inconsistencies in their stories.
So to sum up, I got nothing out of this book that I haven’t read/heard/seen elsewhere.

Interesting Book!
I enjoyed reading this interesting book about the ufo/aerial phenomena. I have experienced some very strange occurrences throughout my life and have been curious ever since.
I believe there are too many people who have witnessed these strange beings or aircrafts to be discounted. Clearly, some hidden truths remain deeply ingrained within some of these stories; in spite of this, we have to keep exposing this knowledge. We simply cannot and should not continue to turn a blind eye and discredit the population when they come forward with their eyewitness accounts. The ridicule is a mind game.

I’m shocked at how many testimonies there are from people who have seen UFOs, aliens, and government cover ups of this evidence. I always thought the only people who said they saw aliens were crazy people (Stephen Hawking even said it). These testimonies are from people who actually worked for the government and the military. My only question is if the aliens are not here to dominate our world, why do they care to explore it and make sure we don’t destroy it? If they don’t want to be apart of it, what is the point?

The truth will set you free!
Free from what? From not been fooled again! This book is what explains all the questions most of us have " isn't there a better way"? Even Jesus Christ couldn't put it better him self " they will do even greater things than this" !!

I liked the book at first, but then I started to look at it more critically and it just seems all too far fetched. And my main question - if it's all such a big and dangerous secret conspiracy, how the hell that mr. Greer is still alive?

Perfectly believable, which I didn't expect. A few strange editing choices.

I have seen both documentaries that Greer has released, at least, I believe he has more, but Unacknowledged and Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind and I have to say, I find this extremely interesting.
That being said, I think in the form of the book, it brings a different light to the story. I think the subtitle of this book should be 'Grain of salt'. Multiple people tell their stories and a lot of truth must be in there, but there are quite some contradictions as well. Most is told as if it's clear memories with proof, but often times comments like 'if I remember well, I believe or I think' take the power out of the words as well. And the amount of self-love some people have, patting themselves on the back constantly and explaining once again they received rewards for this or that, sometimes not even mentioning what it was for, just dropping an award, just gets annoying.
And one review already said this, but 2 times the comment 'soandso who has 38 levels of secret access more than the president' just felt too odd and added nothing extra.
But, the info, the proof, the things that are brought to light here are too interesting to not make this an entertaining book providing a lot of food for thought. If you want to know more about Area 51, events with aliens in the American past and cover-ups (even Marilyn Monroe, John F. Kennedy and lots more is mentioned) this is a great read for you. The fact Greer didn't fake cry this time was a big plus too. To me, this is a solid 3 stars, probably even more, but that's just because I like the subject so much, which would make it bias to give it 4. Want to know more? I would suggest watching the documentaries first.

Definately not science fiction, much more like real science?
There were four types of crafts that they briefed us on and four types of extraterrestrials. They never explained where the photos of these extraterrestrials came from. One ET species looked like an insect.
It had huge eyes, a very large head, and a small body. It had two different appendages [hands] on their arms and several joints in their legs, and they had a bubble-type appendage in the front and a lump or something in the back. They were about the size of an average adult human; between five and six feet tall. The second ET was a very tall, thin humanoid with long arms that reached down to its knees, or half way between their hips and their feet. They had regular hands. Their faces were very thin and almost human looking and they had no hair. Except for the cat-like irises you’d have to be up close to realize they weren’t human. The third creature looked something like the EBEN [See Secret File: Roswell, FBI Document], only it had a larger body. I found out later in a 1985 briefing that it was a genetically-engineered creature that the EBEN had made. As for the craft, one was cigar-shaped approximately sixty to seventy feet long and twenty to thirty feet wide. Then there was a saucer shaped craft, only it was really wide, almost like one of those tops that the kids play with. I remember a colonel saying in the briefing that they still couldn’t figure out how this thing flew?

The fact that hundreds of people read this book and then consciously decided to go to Goodreads and rate it 4 or 5 stars is scary. No wonder we live in a world of Alex Jones and Q Anon nonsense. This book makes Alex Jones look sane. There is zero evidence and the claims that are made throughout are so preposterous I started wondering if the author was intentionally lampooning the subject. Don’t waste your time on this one.
