About the author

Worldwide research, interviewing key witnesses and discussing the subject with astronauts, military and intelligence specialists, pilots, politicians and scientists, has established Timothy Good as a leading authority on UFOs and the alien presence - the most highly classified subject on Earth.

He became interested in the subject in 1955, when his passion for aviation and space led him to read a book by Major Donald Keyhoe describing UFO sightings by qualified observers such as military and civilian pilots. In 1961, after reading a book by Captain Edward Ruppelt, a U.S. Air Force intelligence officer, he began to conduct his own research. Since then, he has amassed a wealth of evidence, including several thousand declassified intelligence documents.

Timothy Good has lectured at universities, schools, and at many organizations, including the Institute of Medical Laboratory Sciences, the Royal Canadian Military Institute, the Royal Geographical Society, the Royal Naval Air Reserve Branch, the House of Lords All-Party UFO Study Group, and the Oxford and Cambridge Union societies. In January 1989, following the dissolution of the Soviet empire, he became the first UFO researcher from the West to be interviewed on Russian television. He was invited for discussions at the Pentagon in 1998, and at the headquarters of the French Air Force in 2002. He has also acted as consultant for several U.S. Congress investigations. He is known to millions through his numerous television appearances and has co-produced several documentaries on the subject.

Timothy Good's first book, Above Top Secret: The Worldwide UFO Cover-up (1987) became an instant bestseller, and is regarded widely as the definitive work on the subject, together with the fully revised and updated book replacing it, Beyond Top Secret: The Worldwide UFO Security Threat (1996), which remained for five weeks on the Sunday Times bestseller list. Alien Liaison: The Ultimate Secret (1991) spent thirteen weeks on the same bestseller list. Alien Base: Earth's Encounters with Extraterrestrials (1998) went to No.4 on the Guardian bestseller list. His book, Unearthly Disclosure: Conflicting Interests in the Control of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (2000) was serialized in the Daily Mail. He has also edited a number of books on the subject, including the bestselling Alien Update (1993). Four of these books have a foreword by Admiral of the Fleet The Lord Hill-Norton, former Chief of the Defence Staff and Chairman of the NATO Military Committee. Need to Know: UFOs, the Military and Intelligence (2006/2007) is now published in paperback in the U.K., U.S and Canada. Good’s latest work - EARTH: An Alien Enterprise – is due for publication by Pegasus Books (New York) in November 2013.

Reviews

[Dollie · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was a book about reported sightings of UFOs from all over the world, written by different UFO investigators and edited by Timothy Good. The people writing about the various incidents assume that everyone reading the book knows what they are talking about. I had never heard of the Rendlesham Forest Incident or the Gulf Breeze, FL sightings. Thank goodness for YouTube, where I found documentaries and footage on both these incidents, which I found interesting, and in one incidence – clips from the Oprah Winfrey show - very sad. Why would people put themselves up for such ridicule unless they believed what they saw really happened? The “expert” guest of Oprah’s totally dismissed Ed Walters description of what he saw because Mr. Walters apparently had a criminal history. That doesn’t necessarily make someone a liar. I try to be open-minded because there’s a lot in the world we humans just don’t know about. Oprah's "expert" was the most closed-minded person I think I've ever seen. The only part of this book I was skeptical about was the Crop Circles. After reading a National Geographic article about them, I think crop circles are completely human creations. People have admitted to creating them and when I see a photograph of a giant heart in a field, I don’t think it’s created by some alien being sending a valentine to his sweetheart. Evidently crop circles and UFOs are closely linked, but I can’t figure out how. Again, more proofing was needed – a couple of glaring mistakes were the use of “white” instead of “while” and “soon” instead of “son.” If someone is going to take the time to write the book and they wish to be taken seriously, then they have to take their book seriously. Unless you’re really curious about UFOs, I cannot recommend this book.

A historical document on Gulf Breeze, Rendlesham Forest, and Crash Retrievals written when these were new ideas and speculations.

[Dan Zarfati · Rating 3 out of 5]

A bit obsolete but has a very good passage on the Ed Waters case, and also some early crop circle cases. Only to the die-hard fan.

An anthology from UFO investigators around the world updating the public on sightings occurring in the decade of the 1980s. Well written in a journalistic style, the book is all facts and analysis with very little hyperbole. A good book to pick and read regardless of it having been written twenty years ago.
