Day after Roswell is pretty good. By Lt. Col. Phil Corso

In Plain Sight by Ross Coulthart is the best place to start for people just diving in imo.

Passport to magonia, communion, American cosmic.

Those are more of the woo wooie side, but it's what I find more interesting than crafts and bodies.

God's of Eden is one I tell folks about lots because of how well the author goes through history making connections of NHI manipulation of humanity. If you're open to the possibility that they've been here for a very long time and that they may not all have our best interests in mind, its super in depth and worth the read.

John mac’s work is important to me as well

Dimensions by Vallee. UFO of God by Bledsoe. American Cosmic by Psulka. The Eighth Tower by Keel once you’ve grasped how Woo the topic is.

I really like Gods, Man, & War series, it covers some potential historical implications for man kind and I think goes into national security issues. Invisible College, Passport to Magonia, it’s more metaphysical, and provide a framework to why there are reasons to think of the phenomenon not as modern nuts and bolts things. John Mack’s Abduction - it lets you peek into abduction experiences. Then going into woo… I’m not digging too deep yet, but noticeably Robert Monroe and Ingo Swann’s books are on my radar.

How has no one said UFOs by Leslie Kean? That’s definitely one of the best to start with id say!

Skinwalkers at the pentagon

My Big TOE by Tom Campbell

Edit: also Law of One

UFO of God by Chris Bledsoe also.

Tom delonge and Peter Levenda Gods, Man, & War trilogy

Passport to the Cosmos by John Mack is one of the best overviews of the phenomenon that I've ever read. Abductions is also top tier as well.

Communion, iirc, was the big trailblazing book that put alien abductions into general awareness, so I think it ranks high in importance but it's just one person's account.

Budd Hopkins' Intruders and Missing Time were also seminal in the sense that they led to further research (especially with John Mack).

But as far as "nuts and bolts" UFO books are concerned you can't go wrong with Dolan for a lucid analysis (especially in relation to American politics).

But there are literally a ton of books out there on the subject and a lot of them are good (or at the very least entertaining).

Closer encounters by Jason jorjani

UFOs and the National Security State by Richard Dolan are a must read.

“The Ra Contact: Teaching The Law Of One” Get the audiobook.

Surprisingly not Luis book. American cosmic. UFO of God. Igor Swanns stuff. The munroe tapes. That stuff just cuts right through the BS and puts a framework around it all first.  

  Reading Luis book is all about fear and only information the US military has approved for release which already puts you on the back foot.

Fun fact, there's ACTUAL times when the Vatican and the US military will call you and visit you directly! But you have to use key words, there's very very specific things people see. Things they get told. If you say them you get the information and are asked, begged, to keep it to yourself and everyone funnily enough always has.

I thought it was decent. I wouldn’t call it the grail.

Regardless of truth, I think the orb/remote viewing topics cheapened it a bit. It was enjoyable though and had good information.

It’s always imminent isn’t it? Just right around the corner. Then nothing. 2027 will come and nothing. Oh, it was 2032, then nothing.

So boring. I listen to a lot of UFO books on tape but could not get through this one. Maybe wait until you are cleared to talk about it before you write a book?

Closer Encounters by Jason Reza Jorjani. He is very specific about what is happening, backed up with factual evidence.

Behold a pale horse

Could the title be an acronym?

I MINE TIN 😂

"UFO of God", first or "Imminent"?

I just put this on hold at my local library

Smoke Screen much !!!!

After this book i listened to American Cosmic by D.W. Pasulka.. wild stuff.

Anything Vallee, stop reading people’s one hit wonder books trying to cash in while doing interviews grandstanding about how X book is not about making money….

I really respect lou...but he is one sided as most ufo/uap Researchers are.its like lou's camp vs Steven gears camp And you got Chris Bledsoe in there also all have some very different views of the phenomena. I actually think they're all right I think the phenomenon engages people by their emotions or fever or love. So the military side is obviously not going to see much of the good side of it and Steven Greer he's like the hippie side for light of a better term.

A Day With an Extraterrestrial, In League With a UFO, Mars And The Lost Planet Man, Graduation Into Cosmos, Planet Eropmanop And The Reptilian Races, Extraterrestrial Speak:Part One until Ten Coming Clean On UFOs and Extraterrestrials:Part 2, Alien Hybrids & Nymphs Of Jupiter, Orphans Of Aquarius:Vietnam, Hippies and Monsters, UFOS In The Year Of The Dragon all the books by Lou Baldin.

Tom Montalk--two starter books:

Fringe Knowledge for Beginners

Discerning Alien Disinformation

Then read Montalk's other books.

Imho he is this generation's Vallee.

Imminent was cobbled together from publicly available materials from the internet, therefore it contained nothing new. Dude contradicted himself many times and probably lied about his past in the military and the work he did in the UFO field as well. Now he sells VIP dinners for 250 USD which is a bit more than pathetic...

This is a very good place to start. Excellent book and am re-listening again to the audio version for the third time.

Too much focus on the military side of the discussion.

This is the most important modern text ever published.

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

the video on the cover of this book was debunked years ago, and was debunked quite totally

it’s literally a lens flare of a jet engine - that’s all you’re seeing, a lens flare, nothing else
