This book addresses and answers a rampant question within UFOlogy, whether UFOS are physical or psychic in nature. In my early days as a UFO investigator I would throw UFO reports that contained paranormal phenomena in the proverbial wastebasket. My position, etched in the halls of Congress, was that UFOS were machine-like physical craft from another star system. However, as time went by, I watched in dismay as several respected UFO researchers moved from a physical to a psychic interpretation of the UFO phenomenon. Little did I know then that my own view would also slowly but surely be honed to accommodate ever deeper levels of the psychic components triggered by the UFO experience. Stringed to together by amazing synchronicities, I became obsessed, one after the other with UFO Abductions, Out-of-the-body experiences, Near Death Experiences, After Death Communications, Quantum Physics, and the Time Slip Phenomenon. Studies of these phenomena led me to the startling conclusion that they, and UFOS, are interconnected and all part of one encompassing metaphenomenon. I concluded that UFOS originate from the dimension NDErs describe and that we are transitory citizens of that world of Light who shuffle back and forth between a particle dimension and a wave (light) dimension through reincarnation. The UFO abductions reflect UFO entities monitoring and caring for the human particle form in preparation for their metamorphosizing by OBES into a new body of light in the afterlife dimension. The robed human-appearing entities that greed NDErs at the world of light appear to be controlling this process and to be genetically related to humans. PLES on the other hand reflect physical humans returning and repeating this process by reincarnation as part of a natural constant inter-balanced exchange between matter and energy - between particle and wave. Inconceivable as this might be to the reader, the final analysis reached by the author is that UFOS represent a final abduction for one's current life and that we are property!
The existence of extra-terrestrial life is a subject of real scientific enquiry. Telescopes scan the cosmos for evidence, and radio listening devices search the galaxy for interstellar communications. Well known probability equations like the Drake Equation suggest the existence of extra-terrestrial life is possible and may be even probable.
UFOs: The Ultimate Abduction by Raymond E. Fowler addresses an issue within Ufology, as to whether UFOS are physical or psychic in nature. Ufology is the pseudo-scientific study of reports, visual records, physical evidence, and other phenomena related to unidentified flying objects. UFOs have been subject to various investigations over the years by governments, independent groups, and scientists. However, ufology, as a field, is rejected by modern academia and is considered a pseudoscience.
Having said that, the book is well-written and researched. The case studies makes for interesting reading and will appeal to those who have an interest in UFO Abductions, Out-of-the-body experiences, Near Death Experiences etc.
Raymond Fowler has been a UFO researcher for apparently much of his adult life, and this book summarises the most "convincing" accounts that have been reported to him. Unfortunately, it is a very frustrating book, although this is probably forced on it by the very limited information. A huge number of reports have seen "unexplained lights in the sky". With no further information they remain unexplained. Some are described in sufficient detail that they would appear to be vehicles (although why they light up like that is a mystery). Here, the lack of detail is annoying. They allegedly then flew away in one of the most intense regions for air travel in the world, so why were not the radar signals reported? In some cases radar signals have been obtained, and it might have been preferable to focus on the few observations with multiple facts and dispense with the rest. It is not the number of sightings that is important; it is the amount of information on any given one of them. One, at least, was allegedly metallic. It was low so what did one individual do? Pulled out a gun and shot at it, and heard a ping. There was one site where a UFO allegedly landed and left impressions from its "feet", and burnt scorch marks. If true, these report vehicles of some sort. Another piece of frustration was that it seemed to be assumed there was one phenomenon. This may be wrong, thus on one account a "light" followed an aircraft. This appears to be similar to a similar event that I am familiar with. As usual, the information was inadequate, but my guess would be some form of triboluminescence (light generated by pressure on certain special materials in the atmosphere, perhaps from static electricity on water/dust being discharged by the pressure). There were also frequent signs of lights over high-voltage power lines. That might seem to be a specific separate phenomenon. The second half of the book then changes to alien abductions, in some cases rather frequent ones. My question is, if you were being so abducted and having your brain wiped, wouldn't you try to get recorded evidence? Not these people. So what we are left with is a lot of people saying they saw this or that, but there is very little confirming evidence. There are a number of accounts that people had "forgotten" but were recovered under hypnosis. My concern is, why do we know they were not merely reporting a dream. Some people had circular marks on their leg, which allegedly are the remains of sample collection. My question is, if aliens could cross interstellar space and took body samples using a procedure that left no other sign or effect, and could wipe brains, why did they not simply repair the skin? People can get circular marks on skin. This is then followed by a number of other odd experiences, such as "out of body" experiences and near-death experiences. I am happy to accept there may be something here, but what has it to do with UFOs, assuming UFOs are real and not some psychic manifestation. So, where does this leave us? In my case, maybe, maybe not. Insufficient information to be really convincing, but if the people are telling the truth, something weird happens. My overall impression: Too much inconclusive information. The author presents a case that there are a number of things we don't understand, including sometimes whether the person reporting it is reporting real events, dreams, or what. To link "near-death experiences" with UFOs tends to confuse both. You will have to make up your own mind. There is a strong case made that people report weird stuff, but less so a case relating to what it means. It is interesting to read, but I have downgraded it a little because it lacks critical analysis.
A fascinating account of the UFO phenomenon examined from a revolutionary new approach.
Controversial since the second world war, UFO's are still a subject of intense speculation, and with the advent of social media and the smartphone, which is a portable camera as well, the controversy has increased in recent years. This comprehensive book, by an expert who has spent his life studying UFO reports, covers some fascinating new insights as to the origins of UFO's, and what their real motives may be. Many of the new insights include information from recent cases, as well as new analysis of older sightings, which includes data never before examined from this new perspective. Including a lifetime of his investigations and experiences, this is a truly impressive account which also discusses links to the phenomenon that includes paranormal incidents as far-ranging as witchcraft persecutions during the medieval periods as well as out of body experiences in contemporary society. The new perspectives gleaned from a multitude of sources, including official military and governmental sources certainly leaves no doubt about the fact that UFO's are real and will undoubtedly affect the future of our society. Perhaps the only uncertainty left is the question as to how humans as a species will react to their present and future activities. This is a fascinating book with a vast source of links and references for readers who wish to learn even more about the truth that has been out there all of the time.
As soon as I picked up this book I realized that the author of this book was someone who was well versed in UFO lingo and must have been someone who has dedicated a huge part of their life to investigating aliens and unidentified objects. This has a collection of the authors personal experiences and has taken the time to record the excerpts of certain books and reports of UFO sightings. There is a ton of information what what these sightings could really be, similarities between reports, and speculations of what they could really be. Aliens have been something that I have always been super interested in and I am always interested in hearing the stories and memories people have about their encounters. This book also has a ton of experiences from people close to the author and other people not so close. Abductions, sightings, and even pictures with marks that appear on people’s bodies. The most interesting and chilling read I’ve had in awhile. Highly recommended!
When I think of UFO abduction, I, as most other people would assume this means little green aliens with huge eyes, transport us to their little round/oval ship and then fly us away for testing and other experiments. The author in this book proposes a slightly unorthodox theory: What if UFO abductions were not physical, but psychic? Using various case studies and the (as yet unproven) science of Ufology, the author puts plenty of facts forward that all give credence to his hypothesis. At first, I was a bit skeptical of the book, it was a very interesting read as IO have never heard of UFO abductions being psychic before this book. How much of it is true is always debatable, and you will always have skeptical people out there. The ideas put forward are very unconventional, however the whole field of science is unconventional. So this book is interesting, but I don’t know how much of it I can take as truth.
I'm a writer and found the typos and grammatical errors annoying. However, I think most people overlook such things. I have to agree with Mr. Fowler, having studied the UFO phenomenon for about 50 years (I'm 74) and having had 7 very clear UFO sightings, the connection with metaphysical ideas is one that should not and actually cannot be overlooked. I also write books that revolve around the near death experience. I too see connections between UFO's, alien occupants and either partially or even non-physical realities.
The best part of the book for me would s the information and links following the final page. Don't get me wrong. Some will love the book. But for me it became a bit of a chore. I'm not a fan of antidote after antidote after antidote. My eyes glaze over. But, on the other hand many people love story and event after event. So if you're looking for much in depth discussion. This isn't his best book. But f you're looking for in depth account after account. This is your book.
