Interdimensional Universe: The New Science of UFOs, Paranormal Phenomena and Otherdimensional Beings

by Philip J. Imbrogno

Over the course of his thirty years of investigation into UFOs, including his own field research, photographic evidence, and meticulously compiled case studies, Philip Imbrogno has provided fascinating new insight into paranormal phenomena. In this book, he reveals for the first time the detailed findings of prominent paranormal experts as well as his own firsthand experiences. Using the latest quantum theories, Imbrogno sheds new light on classic UFO cases, government cover-ups, and the hidden connections between UFOs and other unexplained phenomena-from crop circles and animal mutilations to angels and jinn (or genies). Imbrogno's insider knowledge spans the very early UFO reports to present-day sightings. He personally investigated four of the best-known UFO flaps of the modern era―Hudson Valley, Phoenix lights, the Belgium sightings, and the Gulf Breeze Florida sightings―and shares information never released before, including photographic evidence that something very unusual is taking place on planet Earth.

This book, which pretty much goes back to project Blue Book and tells the history of UFO sightings, tries to relate what it may have been that people were actually seeing. Mr. Imbrogno is a UFO researcher and has written several books on the subject. He describes different encounters, strange occurrences, explains String Theory, animal mutilations and the difference between several kinds of beings, even some I’ve never heard of and I’ve read a few UFO books. It was full of knowledge and his experiences and I’m glad I read it, but I found it to be very dry. Not at all like Budd Hopkins or other authors of UFO books that I’ve read.

Very cool stuff, I thought. Nothing exactly new to me, but put in ways I thought was cool. I would ignore the words "The New Science of" in the subtitle, but a very entertaining (and, at times, thought-provoking) read.

My brother and I bought me this one. I read it as a trade for something else lol. It wasn't that bad though if you're into this sort of stuff.

Do you believe in magic?
POSTED AT AMAZON 2008

Kids are confused about magic. Parents tell them it is just a combinations of tricks, but cannot explain how magician's tricks work (good analogy by the author). Therefore, when you read such a book about unexplained phenomena, evaluation comes from two angles: is it interesting and well written?, does it contain credible facts?, do I believe in all this, did it changed my opinion?

I gave 3 stars for excellent writing mostly. It is well arranged text that reads fast and some parts are truly interesting (for example: about pictures taken from the space and how to make and use satellite-receiving station). There are plenty of old episodes/encounters mentioned (between 1947 and 1997), however we do not have listed anything about more recent encounters from XXI century (have anything happened at all during the past 8 years?).
Why do people experience all unusual phenomena like UFOs, and encounter strange aliens/monsters only during the night or in their dreams?; it is a quite large dilemma for me. Unfortunately we are not offered any explanation for it..

As for credibility I have several problems. The basis for Mr.Imbrogno to explain "unexplained" are string theory, existence of extra dimensions and parallel multiverses. Science knows that "stargates" across the space-time can possibly last only for a very, VERY short periods of time. As for today we have neither proved that string theory is correct nor that extra dimensions or multiverses are true. Mathematics behind strings predicts extra 10 dimensions + time (author claims 21 dimensions), but even if they exist they are incredibly tiny and compactified not allowing for any living "things" to be visible by naked eye. Forces (like gravity) are allowed to "leak" across dimensions, but large baseball-field objects not. Also, if other multiverses exist in a form of M-branes, they would have completely different governing laws of physics. Therefore his HIGHLY speculative hypothesis about "tunnels" connecting us with multidimensions and allowing us to see creatures or objects from there is not only improbable, but has roots in other not so far verified scientific hypotheses. Experiments in CERN (LHC) may show if extra small compact dimensions are real. But, I have to admit, example with the finger and sheet of paper (flatland) is nifty.

Mr. Imbrogno also quotes Dr. Hynek: "one witness is no witness". However across the whole book he mostly uses stories obtained from single, unverifiable witnesses.
Lets take famous Bermuda Triangle. Quote: "As for the XXI century, hundreds of ships and planes have simply vanished in the Triangle". I would like to know exactly how many and what kind of ships/planes vanished as well as source of this data. Another typical example: "Project Invisibility" (also called "Philadelphia Experiment" or "Project Rainbow"). It is nicely presented but I give it zero credibility for the same reason as above - lack of documentation. Author claims, project had foundation in Roswell alien ship crush and did not take place in Philadelphia's naval yard . There are other books of this type linking this experiment (or experiments?) to the capture of secret Nazi's technology based on Einstein's discarded Classical Unified Field Theory. All this is confusing and here Mr. Imbrogno is only right once by stating: "..the material that has been made available to the public was mostly misinformation".

In general author throws into the same bag: pictures from the space (I have to admit perplexing one), electromagnetic pulses, vortexes to other dimensions, angels, demons, creators, "nut and bolts" space crafts, mystic stones and caves/mains, human-like creatures (good and nasty, visible and not visible), souls, old believes/religions, psychics, "dream almanacs", crop circles, animal mutilations etc. you name it. It is sometimes hard to swallow ...unless one had its own paranormal episode. I have not had one so far. Therefore I recommend this book rather for science-FICTION enthusiasts only.

This book is easy to read and engaging. The author presents case after case of paranormal experience that slowly builds up his argument that the paranormal is the result of interdimensional beings wandering into our dimension/world for various and unknown reasons. As far as entertainment goes, I would give the book a 3.5, but massive holes in the author's argument bumped it down almost 2 stars. His entire theory (while interesting) is based on anecdotal encounters (that often don't even have police reports or other forms of verification), highly theoretical science that straddles the line between math and metaphysics, and the authors own personal assumptions.

Take this passage as an example of the author's assumptions based on little evidence:

"I was not really sure how Greg got the idea to build these things, but from what I heard from the conversation that day, they could have been the result of some type of contact experience. What the extent of this contact was I never found out, since I had to leave before I could question him in greater detail".

The author gets credit for admitting that he had little evidence about this guy but then why include that individual and his spirit talking crystals at all in the book?

Overall, the book was an interesting read and it gave me some neat cases and theories to explore deeper into on my own, but I felt that the author was trying a little bit too hard to believe instead of taking a skeptical and truly analytical approach to the topic. This book will leave skeptics unconvinced and true believers loving it and wanting more.

This guy is a proven fraud who lied about all of his qualifications and education credentials. His books started off with fairly grounded claims that got more and more fantastical as his fame grew, as is often the case. He tarnished the work of J Allen Hynek by his association. There is a reason he more or less quit being published in 2011.

Anyways, it’s a fun book if you don’t mind that it’s entirely fabricated.

Fascinating book. Mr. Imbrogno has invested years of investigation into UFO's and paranormal encounters in which some are written about here; along with proposing some similar theories of "interdimensional" as opposed to "interplanetary" as advocated by the late great Jacques Vallee. Not as comprehensive and evidence based as any book by UFOligist/author/historian Richard Dolan, but some well documented and well written & interesting cases nonetheless. Definitely worth the read if you're already well-versed in the subject.

I was told Imbrogno is the new John Keel, but his relentless self-promotion, inept reasoning, and clumsy prose make for tedious reading. Not recommended even to diehard fans of outré "non-fiction".

[Lolo · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting concepts and some never published stories.

[Regan]

Despite Imbrogno's "scandal" -- he lied about his credtionals -- his ideas are worth considering. While not new ideas at all, they are still considered fringe by many inside the fringe itself. No, I'm not condoning Imbrogno's lies, I'm simply suggesting that things can be learned from reading this book. So, I'll plan on reading it eventually.

Stunning

The cases just kept you digging into the next! I was glued to this book . I recommend this book!

[Stylianos Splinis · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book. It gives a different view point of what a lot of ufo reports really might actually be instead of the visitors from space.
