Making Contact: A Serious Handbook for Locating and Communicating with Extraterrestrials

by Bill Fawcett

Making Contact is the first guide for UFO watchers that shows where to go, what to look for, and how to initiate contact with extraterrestrials. Bringing together the most up-to-date information available, this handbook gathers the opinions of leading scientists, UFO researchers, historians, and sci-fi writers to create a new reference source book invaluable to anyone seeking--or continuing--alien contact. With a look at successful contacts around the world--including a new analysis of the events at Roswell, New Mexico, by Kevin Randall-- Making Contact addresses such topics opening lines of communication with extraterrestrials; E.T. first aid; official U.S. Air Force guidelines for notifying the public (suggesting that the government withholds much of this information); alien body types and spacecraft profiles; solar and terrestrial maps; a list of organizations to help after contact has been made; and much more. Boldly going where no book has gone before, Making Contact makes every reader an ambassador of Planet Earth.

[Gage Addams · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very interesting read, however some info may be a little out dated and the way the author wrote it, seems like he's suspicious of the benevolence of extraterrestrials.. (given the fact this was written in 1997, I will let it slide.. especially since it gives some info on other events like Roswell. )

In my opinion, If they really wanted to harm us, we wouldn't be here right now.

To anyone that is a UFO Fan like I am, you will like this book. The book is a literal Handbook for meeting an Extraterrerrestrial. It goes right down to the Science where in this vast universe there may be life, as well as, how to give medical care to an injured Alien. Of course, this may sound a bit on the Fringe, but to the serious UFOlogist it a great way to start out in this field of study. Other chapters cover Crop Circles, Meeting an Alien for the first time, where the frequency of UFO's are seen, etc..Overall, I found it to be a good read and I highly reccomend it the serious UFOlogist!!
