For millennia the seven stars known as the Pleiades have twinkled in the night sky, inspired countless legends and dared Mankind to discover their secrets. Encounter in the Pleiades is the story of a man who was taken to the Pleiades and given a scientific education far beyond the horizons of anything taught in universities. For the first time, the personal history of Preston Nichols is revealed along with an avalanche of amazing information the world has not yet heard. A new look at Einstein gives insights into the history of physics and how the speed of light can be surpassed through the principles of reality engineering. New concepts in science are offered with technical but simple descriptions even the layman can understand. These include the creation of alternate realities through the use of twisters and spinners; mind control aspects of the Star Wars defence system; implants; alien abductions and much more. Peter Moon adds further intrigue to the mix by divulging his part in a bizarre project which led him to Preston Nichols and the consequent release of information. His account of the role of the Pleiades in ancient mythology sheds new light on the current predicament of Mankind and offers a path of hope for the future.
There's a disturbing amount of hero worship going on in this book for terrible people such as Aleister Crowley, Jack Parsons and L. Ron Hubbard. Otherwise, a riveting read that is far too unbelievable to take as anything but metafiction. Once the Montauk Project conspiracy transcended the third dimension, maybe they blew the whistle just a bit too loud. Also, if author Peter Moon decides to write any more books about this topic in the future, I would hope he receives this sage advice: Less math, more time travel.
This book is not only by Peter Moon. Preston Nichols covers the first half with a couple of interesting chapters after which it a bit of a drift. I didn't bother reading the 2nd half by P.M. P.N tells of how a UFO actually works on the inside. It's an incredible idea.
I read this during my high school years. Because I own the book and the libraries are being COVID-safe right now, I returned to this one to see what I think of it now.
This is easy reading, I might add. On one hand, I really liked flying through page after page of really interesting hypothetical information; On the other hand, that same simplicity (particularly when describing scientific concepts) drove me bonkers... because basically Preston goes so far as to describe how a UFO works (!!!) with almost flippant ease that makes you, the hapless reader, at least a LITTLE bit wonder why haven't we traveled the solar system using these fabulous methods already??
Okay, I get that these dudes are probably out to lunch....and that these descriptions are WAY too broad to be applied in any real, scientific way.... okay.... but still. Fun to read, and fun to listen to some dude explain alllllll the secret shit that goes on under the hood of the government re: experiments, mind control and which aliens come from what star systems SO LONG AS you read it with a good grain of salt.
A point of contention I did have with this book (and a good bolster for that salt grain) is that Peter Moon offers a less-than-critical view on people like L. Ron Hubbard and Aleister Crowley in the latter half. I wouldn't go so far as to call it hero-worship as one other reviewer did on here, but there's definitely a lack of criticism as far as these men and their exploits go, which is problematic, and I would go so far as to say they worked toward pulling this dimension *away* from "the original timeline" more than they did toward reconciliation. But that's as far as I will go on that.
TLDR: A fun, fast read to engage with on its own level particularly if you like conspiracy theories and what's what on aliens, but definitely not anything to be taken very seriously (whatever that would even mean.)
After reading the first few chapters of this book, I was very excited to read Preston's personal account of interacting with Pleiadians as a child and his subsequent involvement in top secret military technical reconnaissance missions. His personal testimony stems from recovered memories on the subject. He seems to leave much out of these accounts as I wanted more details but even these glimpses are worth the read. I also appreciated his synopses using quantum physics to explain how space travel is possible and how other players may have pushed Einstein forward in order to peddle their theories for example. Beyond this however, part two which offers Peter Moon's accounts are less revealing. He seems to be teasing readers to learn more in his Montauk series that follows this one. He also goes into his personal experience in scientology and what appeared to be occult/satanic rituals that took place pre WWII. He seemed fascinated by this and part of me wonders if if views may have changed over the years.
Overall, I found this book entertaining based on the few beginning chapters that delve into Pleiadian memories and scientific explanations for UFO and aliens. However much of the book discusses Montauk mind control trauma which seems to overlap with later books in the series. I would have liked more focus on the Pleidians themselves even if this meant interviewing other witnesses and corroborating stories.
Something about koalas not needing water due to richness of leaves idk that sounded cool but yes the background on mythology and some stars is in here very very fun stuff
