Inteligent beings described by a critics views! Wonderful book to read.
Ruth Montgomery answered a lot of questions that were puzzling me for some time about extraterrestrials. This book really explained a lot of information and the author's spirit guides explained a lot as well. Very interesting information for sure.

It is so unbelievable it must be true!
This goes beyond the barely credible `Strangers Among Us'.There is so much in here that settles in the unconscious mind - but on the surface, too much appears beyond credibility.Surely, as much as we want it to be true, how can it be.More supporting evidence would ease the disbelief.Ruth, expand on your thoughts and give us more hope.Unfortunately, with hindsight, many of the millennium predictions are still to occur, maybe they are late, but it doesn't help credibility.More reference to pure UFOlogy is also required, but don't let this put you off.If just for thought provoking UFOlogical reading it is another must - read it and wonder!

They walk among us.
They walk among us, some with honorable intent, some with evil intent. Ruth Montgomery claims to channel the wisdom of those who wish to help thissociety come to terms with some of its most puzzling questions, challengesand mysteries.Why are we here?What is our purpose?Why is there pain? Why is there beauty?There are those who believe that the garden of Edenwas a genetic experiment.(I am one of them.)Where do we go from there,from here, with what we have learned since then?

Aliens are here to help us, taking a human form.
the author says that aliens are here to help us from killing ourselves, and constantly takes the help of some spirits called 'The guides'. Decent book overall. ... Read more

Product Description
This book is at once a journey of scientific discovery and the story of the personal struggle Whitley Strieber has fought since he had an apparent close encounter in 1985, which he recounted in Communion: A True Story. He has been criticized for creating folklore; he has been called insane, labeled a liar and a cult leader. Naturally, he wants to correct the record. But more than that, he has come to feel certain that something truly earthshaking is happening, something far stranger, far more incredible than anyone suspected, which has made mankind vulnerable.

To change all this, what he's need is physical proof. He has it, and this book is the story of how he got it and what it is.

Strieber first reviews all the evidence for UFOs-including the remarkably dramatic and repeated sightings over Mexico city filmed by so many people-as well as the testimony thousands have given about their close encounter experiences, before turning to shocking new physical evidence: five implants surgically removed under controlled and documented conditions from the bodies of people who have reported contact with aliens. The study of these "implants"-what they are made of, how they function, and what their ultimate purpose is-holds the final answers to this whole puzzle.

In addition, in a remarkable appendix, Monsignor Corrado Balducci of the Congregation of the Evangelization of Peoples and Propagation of the Faith discusses the perspective of the Catholic Church on the whole matter of alien contact and what it means within a religious perspective.
Amazon.com Review
In his 10 years of experience as a publicly recognizedclose-encounter witness, Whitley Strieber has labored to lift theveils of skepticism and denial from scientists, politicians, andreporters. He's appreciated a climate of increasing open-mindedness,noting also that any hard evidence confirming the existence of UFOs,close encounters, and alien abductions has been, to date, lacking. Buttimes, he writes in Confirmation, have changed. "Gone arethe arguments that science has nothing to work with. Behavioralscience has not only the witnesses but also physical proof thatsomething unknown has happened to at least some of them, in the formof apparent implants that have been removed from their bodies."Further, "fantastic advances" are enabling falsealien-abduction stories to be weeded out the from the true ones. But itreads like a stew of bold assertions tagged onto eyewitness accounts,the "truth" of which remains largely anecdotal, and mixed inwith a discussion of new theories about false-memorysyndrome. Confirmation might rally the believers, but it will make theunconverted skeptical and querulous.

Whitley Strieber has neversuggested that the alien presence among us is benign, and hisconfessions and investigations have always been unnerving. Sinister,secret, and bizarre are words he uses to describe "them."Strieber's "evidence" that there are aliens among us fallsinto three areas: an increase in amateur videotapes of strange objectsin the sky; the massive amount of abduction testimony that isdifferent from older accounts; and the insidious implants that havebeen removed from close-encounter witnesses (of which he isone). This last area is creepy, indeed, and we can be glad thatscience is conducting careful studies. What the implants are made of,how they function, and what their purpose might be--these questionshold the key to Strieber's mystery.

His reporting of the"facts" begins on July 11, 1991, in Mexico City during atotal eclipse of the sun. A UFO was spotted and videotaped byhundreds. Exhaustively he argues against the variables--it can be, forexample, neither Venus nor a star. He recounts the heated publicdebates and asserts that this 1991 event was not isolated, butheralded an extended period of sightings. Of course, he admits, hoaxesabounded, too.

When it comes to discussing the three videosthat have actually appeared on TV depicting aliens, Strieber'sextrapolations do not harden to proof. Yet he begins part 2 ofConfirmation with this assertion: "The evidence that UFOsare flying around in our skies is so extensive that it is reasonableto consider that these unconventional objects are in some way real,and that many of them seem to be under intelligent control." Thispart of the book (it's livelier than the first part, because it's evencreepier) presents testimony of actual encounters. These narrativescame to him in letter form and his approach is to discern commonthreads among wildly diverse experiences. Rejecting psychologicalexplanations for alleged abductions, Strieber pounces on what hethinks of as the reliable source--"the natural memories of peoplewho have had continuous recall of their experiences from the time theyhappened." Now, when was the last time you trusted your memory asa reliable source? But Strieber believes without a doubt that we arereceiving communication from another world. Describing the strange andchilling world of the abduction letters, he's convinced that theyindicate "the working of a nonhuman mind, or of a part of thehuman mind so hidden that it has never before gained a voice." Sois it Close Encounters or psychosis?

Unfortunately, withevery extrapolation or assertion, Whitley Strieber's arguments seemmore and more strained; the "proof" remains, alas, poofy, aswhen he compares the increasingly elaborate abduction narratives tothose of crop circles--another documented but unexplainedmystery--citing elaboration itself as proof of increasingly differentabductions. Since the first sightings, crop circles, too, have grownfar more elaborate and complex. Is it really any wonder that peoples'stories should become increasingly endowed with imaginativecomplexity? How is that proof? It's all creepy, to be sure, andcertainly worthy of serious, sustained investigation. But do not lookfor proof or hard evidence in Confirmation. The promise isunfulfilled, the confirmation pending. --Hollis Giammatteo ... Read more

Confirmation:The Hard Evidence of Aliens Among Us.
This book is hard to put down and hard to bring back up to reading.The most unique piece of the puzzle is writing about the eye witness accounts with descriptions.This is conferred as objective introspection where one person is explaining what he sees in the skies and another scribing, etching on scrolls, the etymology of "UFO."

Wise Words From America's Foremost Dingus
I go by the name of Dingus McGee. Yes, you've heard of me, boy. I'm the man who plays musical instruments outside your local chemist's shop or cigar store.I'm a regular one-man band, I am. I dance a little jig. You've heard me say, "I'm Dingus McGee and I'll busk for a fee" a million times, and not only in your young man's dreams.

Over the years, a lot of wisenheimers have pointed out that the word 'busking' already implies performing for money, therefore making my catchphrase partially redundant--well, to hell with 'em! My goodness, the literalism in this country today.

I acknowledge, with some sadness, that there are other men named Dingus McGee out and about in the world, but I ain't none of them. I'm the original Dingus. But a moving picture show has never been filmed of my life. I don't run a tavern chain and I ain't from Macon County. I'm not from a Southern state or a hot climate. I don't even like the humid weather. I like ice cream suits, straw boaters, seersucker shirts, Donegal walking caps, and sweet cool breezes. I got the pep and I plan to keep the pep.

I've traveled all about this great country and I'm a firm believer in regionalism. It's a true religion with me. I've left footprints behind from Pensacola to Pascagoula, from Portland to the Piedmont. Yeah man.

Now, I'm worried about these Gray intruders. How many more folks can this mighty country accommodate? We've already got the White, the Black, the Red, the Brown, and the Yellow, now we're supposed to hoof it on over to make room for the Gray too? Land sakes alive.

When I first heard about these Gray folks pressing in on us from the heavens, I almost fell out. And I'm a reasonable Democratic man with a big heart. But if they want to start a colony, can't they colonize the islands of Borneo or Sardinia, or Greenland, or Antarctica instead? Suffering catfish! I'm willing to allow them their choice of climate and terrain.

We already got ourselves a whole generation of youths that don't recognize 'Old Folks At Home' and never heard tell of Johnny Appleseed or Washington Irving. It's no wonder city women are throwing their babies off tenement roofs. It's a disgrace, especially when a cold glass of Pennsylvania Dutch Birch Beer would fix 'em right up. These women have never heard the Mockingbird sing, taken a raft ride down the mighty Mississippi, or come upon a pear tree laden with fruit at autumn time. It's practically a crime to live in such deprivation.

I felt the perspiration of intolerance creeping out of my skull while reading Miss Strieber's book, though to look at 'em, I suspect these Gray folk are flocking here due to the fact that there's nothing left to eat where they come from.

You see the whole lot of 'em never had a home-cooked meal. Their cheeks are concave and their ribs protrude like the bars on a xylophone. And not a hair on the head of any of 'em. It just ain't natural to be as wan and sallow in the complexion as they are. If I were a diagnosing man, I'd say they've all got a hearty case of bowel worm. The first time I ever encountered one of them varmints looking so needy-like, I almost fell out. Marjorie Main on her deathbed was a prettier sight.

And they waltz about without a stitch on. Some people enjoy viewing the natural body, but these Gray folk ain't got no reproductive organs! A fella wouldn't know whether to offer 'em a brassiere or a sports cup. Someone's got to buy a few bolts of gingham and plaid and force some garments on 'em, before they confuse and pollute our country's young minds any further.

Nonetheless, this country has an immigration policy in place, and these Gray folks ought to adhere to it. They have to get in the back of the line at Ellis Island, and let the officials sort out their fate. We can't have any more of 'em suddenly appearing in our bedrooms, kitchens, or attics in the dead of night, it just ain't right. Actions like that will end in a bloody shooting, and a tragedy for all concerned.

When our founding fathers wrote up the Constitution, I don't recall them making allowances for folks from other planets and their wackadoo space gods. America has always been a Christian nation, and we've made accommodations for the Papists, the Jewish people, the Muslim, the Hindu and the atheists too.

How much farther are we expected to bend? I'll continue to recognize the good Lord Jesus Christ, thank you, not Orthon or Yog-Sothoth from the planet Xexanoth. Just the thought of it is enough to make my peppermint go sour.

As far as abductions and kidnappings are concerned, well, that subject doesn't bear civil debate. Wrong is wrong. And I haven't met a man yet that likes to be poked in the caboose against his will.

I've got to ponder on this matter further. When I do, I'll continue my report. Right now, it's time for my 4:00 show. Botherations, I've gone and busted another ukulele string.

agenda here?
Well in my opinion, there is no longer any doubt that some things appear to be flying in our skies, and some people have had some unusual experiences (mostly disturbing, but some apparrently enlightening), but the question is, is it all as it seems?The fact of the matter is, various military branches from around the globe have real hardware that could easily fool us.Holographic projections can and are used to place images within our skys (this is related to controversial theories surrounding the 911 events); there are devices that can manipulate brain waves and neuronal excitation to have people hallucinate any scenario; advanced, drug manipulated hypnotic techniques can control memories and behaviour; implants have been around for decades and have even gone mainstream now (Verichip).I'm not saying that other lifeforms don't exist in the Universe (far from it), and perhaps there are a number of entities here on Earth carrying out agendas, but this idea that there are little, menacing Greys abducting us for various sinister reasons without immense COLLUSION seems suspect.It smells of classic fear mongering that the elite love to push on us.Historically, there's been the Barbarians, Huns, Mongols,Pagans, Jews, Christians, Vikings, black Natives, Cannabals, red Natives, Mexicans, Germans, Nazis, Communists, now the Arabs and the next logical conclusion is some evil force off planet because they have used all the boogey men on Earth.Even President Reagan set us up for this scenario in an infamous speech in the late 80's.The fact is that with known technology (not including whatever they may have that has not been leaked), they could quite easily pull the hoax off.Even genetic manipulation and cloning is much further advanced and PRACTICED (albeit "underground") than most people can fathom.What has become another fact is the major extent to which the UFO community has been infiltrated and compromised, of which Strieber has been front and centre at various times.My belief is that Strieber is part of this fear mongering campaign, sponsored by the elite and carried out by various military and government groups.In this book, his "hard-evidence" is flimsey and suspicious.For example, why wouldn't super advanced Aliens using implants design them such that they are entirely organic and of shapes that mimic human tissue (thus not showing up on any X-ray, MRI, CT, etc)?And design them such that they quickly break down when removed from the body?Surely, this would be child's play for Alien scientists?Why no major discussion or mention of the human military, or NAZI connection with abductions?There seems to be a growing number of victims who are recalling strange "fragments" of memories that are slipping through various memory covers.Why are they mentioning cooperation of human doctors and nurses with the Greys?Why are they mentioning swastikas and other known military insignias on uniforms?Why are some speaking English, others German?Why is there a connection with deep, underground bases and specifically Antartica?These are things Strieber never mentions, which I find curious.My point is, things are happening, but it has become nearly impossible to ascertain what, and Strieber's books seem to cloud the issues and possibly even advance certain agendas.

OK, but not a groundbreaker
This is an OK book.IT was interesting to read and pretty well written.I didn't think, however, it was exceptional and nor did I find it full of information that I could find elsewhere.It did make some interesting paints and it did add some information that I did find interesting.I classify it as a core UFO book, but not something of revolutionary nature.

Nothing new, nothing convincing
Hard evidence? If you consider fuzzy photos and anecdotal evidence to be "hard", then yes. Otherwise, this book really offers nothing new. Everything that is presented in this book is easily explained by any UFO skeptic. If you are interested in hearing a more natural reason for UFOs and so called unexplainable phenomena, check out "Demon Haunted World" by Carl Sagan or "Why People Believe Weird Things" by Michael Shermer. Overall, the book wasnt bad... it was interesting, but I was very let down by the lack of convincing evidence. This book might incourage believers, but it sure wont convert a skeptic. ... Read more

Just More New-Age ClapTrap
I bought this book after a conversation wih my brother about a similar book written years ago before "new age" stuff like this was all that popular.That book was a serious treatment of the subject.After perusing this book, however, it quickly became apparent that I had guessed wrong; this is just more new-age claptrap that belongs in the category of cheap astrology, "greys," bug-eyed alien kidnappings and such designed to make a quick buck off the gullible.The sad thing is this:I believe there really is something to such unexplainable phenomena, but the field is so clouded with con-jobs out to profit from the gullible and (in some cases) counter-intelligence activities by shadow governments that it is all but impossible to determine what is actually going on.

For instance, books such as this one often include a "checklist" to tell if you or your child is a "star child."These checklists include enough questions that are actually so vaguely worded that fully 85% of the earth's population could easily qualify as a "star child."Gee, don't we all just feel so special now?

I'm quite disappointed, inasmuch as I was looking for *actual* research based on established scientific method.Move on, folks; nothing to see here.This book has entertainment value only for those who truly want to believe just about anything they read.

WOW
This book will haunt you.Even skeptics of the "Alien Abduction" phenomenon will have to think twice after reading "Star Children."

With her excellent research techniques JennyRandles carefully demonstrates the reality of Alien visitation and geneticaltering.

This book is especially interesting because the contactinformation comes from around the world.This is not an isolatedphenomenon.There may be millions of "Star Children" around theworld.Maybe you know one of these people.Maybe you should.

I couldn'tput this book down.The implications are mind altering.

Telepathic alien galore, somewhat of a bore
Of the seven stories, only one story is of the General Sector plot though the cover of the book itself has a Sector General illustration (on my edition). Predictably, as I've said before, as this is my sixth White book, it's better to stick to the Sector General series of James White than to read his other books like Lifeboat or The Watch Below. The author takes a liking in using telepathy in all but the last of these short stories, something which I don't like to read about in science fiction as it provides an easy, almost copout, way to communicate. With the exception of The Conspirators, the stories in this collection aren't as good as I expected them to be because James White has had some seriously good ideas in his Sector General books. Perhaps it's better to stick to this collection of Sector General stories entitled `Sector General.'

Only One Sector General Story -
- But most of the others are set in the same universe. 'Countercharm' concerns Dr. Conway's encounter with one of the hazards of his profession. Doctors at Sector General get their xenomedical knowledge from 'Educator Tapes' the recorded minds of ET physicians. The catch is you don't just get their medical knowledge but *everything* including their sex drive - which can lead to embarrassing and distracting consequences. In 'Kill or Cure' a Navy rescue team discovers their wreck is 'not of this world'. They do their best to help the injured, sluglike beings inside but do they dare let them contact their friends? An alien species is deliberately formenting military tensions on Earth in 'Red Alert'. Is this a preliminary to invasion? Or is something else going on? In 'Tableau' Earth's first contact with another species results in war. Then an Earth soldier and one of the alien Orligians find themselves trapped together in the wreckage of their ships and discover it's all due to a horrible misunderstanding. In 'Conspirators' the laboratory animals aboard the the first intersteller explorer plan their escape with the help of the ship's cat and a pet canary. In 'The Scavengers' a Terran taskforce is assigned to 'clean up' those aliens who survived the initial attack. And finally 'Occupation: Warrior' not only provides the missing half to the first Sector General story in 'Hospital Station' but gives the unexpected background of Fleet Commander Dermod.

In Richard Powers' An Alien Among Us, it's your job to lead an intergalactic space mission. Will you accept the challenge?From a list of twelve candidates, players must select six to join the mission based on attributes that fall into categories such as gender, age, religion, nationality, positive attributes and negative attributes. In the process they discover that their judgments are frequently biased and influenced by stereotypes. As the game is played, participants come to understand that differences don't have to cause problems, but rather that they can enrich human experience.An Alien Among Us is designed to be flexible so that facilitators can substitute real-life situations for the interplanetary mission. For example, participants could select six junior executives for a company's overseas training program, or six police officers to work in multiethnic teams.

Too much padding
This is another of the themed SF anthologies compiled by Dann and Dozois in recent years. As with the others, unless you have been an avid SF short story readaholic for the last four of five decades, you will certainly find a large number of new and interesting stories here.

The book opens with a powerful and timeless story "The Other Celia" by SF master Theodore Sturgeon, in which the occupier of a cheap hotel room discovers that the resident in the room below his is in fact an alien. That of course sets the scene for the rest of the book in which the world seems to be overwhelmed by non humans disguised as people.

While it is not great, that is a good story and the collection includes a number of similarly enjoyable tales. Ray Nelson's "Eight o'clock in the morning tells of a lizard like race that has come to dominate and eat humans through the power of hypnosis. I also enjoyed the stories from Philip K.Dick, Robert Reed, Michael Shea and Avram Davidson as well as the collaboration between Paul J.McAuley and Kim Newman.

All in all, there are nine very readable stories in here and they are easily worth the price of the book. What is a little frustrating is that there are also six stories which are not really up to scratch. I'd have enjoyed this collection rather more if it had not included stories such as R.A.Lafferty's "Among the Hairy Earthmen" which is little more than an undeveloped idea and a number of dates from a history book.

I'd have rated this book higher if the editors had left out the padding and higher still if they had filled out their allocation of pages with material as good as the books highlights.
