Good Starter / Beginner Books for UFOs & Aliens

 

On this post, I will talk about a few different types of books that cover the UFOs & Aliens subject. I will also explain why each one makes the cut for being in a good 5-book starter kit for the beginner. In addition to that, I will provide several more recommendations for other books of similar quality along with the more elaborate, advanced reading material, etc.

First up, as eccentric as it sounds, is "Secret Journey to Planet Serpo." Even if a person doesn't believe that this is an actual true story of interplanetary travel, there is a reason it is on this list. The actual "journey" probably only makes up about 1/3rd of this 282-page book. The reason this is a good starter book for everything extraterrestrial, is the first 90 pages in the Prelude. 

It provides an excellent refresher course for some of the history surrounding this subject. It covers the various topics of Germany (German disc technology and more), Antarctica (Nazi Base, Operation Highjump, etc.), Roswell, The Ronald Reagan Briefings, Los Alamos, Kingman (another UFO crash site), John F. Kennedy (DIA involvement, MJ-12, and so on) and a detailed Appendix section with a lot of additional information. It even has a chapter at the end of the book about Steven Spielberg and his movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind."

I actually first wrote about this book a few years ago, along with a quick link to easily purchase, here: Interplanetary Travel - Secret Journey to Planet Serpo

#2 - The Day After Roswell - This is definitely a good starter book when it comes to aliens & UFOs turning into Research & Development (R & D). Even if you are not a beginner, you will enjoy the fact that all of this information comes from a former Pentagon Official. Col. Philip J. Corso not only reveals the U.S. Government's UFO cover-up, but he also provides a lot of detail on how a multitude of modern technology came from the reverse-engineering process within the R & D programs. Integrated circuit chips, fiber optics, lasers, super-tenacity fibers, enhanced night vision and much, much more. This book will really give you a better understanding of our "technological boom" we had several decades ago.

There are many other subjects within this book outside of technology. Roswell crash site remains, the Cover-up, UFOs, aliens (EBEs), space defense programs, Tesla's Death Ray, Project Moon Base, U2 Program and Project Corona, the Other Cold War, and so much more.

#3 - Dreamland - Autobiography by Bob Lazar - No UFO fanatic should have a bookshelf void of this guy. Although this particular book doesn't have much detail about actual aliens, it has a lot of good details about the experience Bob Lazar had at S-4 while trying to reverse engineer alien technology, etc. It also outlines a lot of the trouble that comes from top secret operations, how everything is way too compartmentalized, and so on. Many people in the past used to think he was a fraud, but his story has remained the same, decade after decade. I once wrote about this subject a few years ago, here: Was Bob Lazar one of the greatest UFO frauds? Either way, if you like UFOs, this is an excellent book for your starter collection.

#4 - The Interrupted Journey - Two lost hours aboard a UFO - The Abduction of Betty & Barney Hill - No stack of books about UFOs & Aliens are complete without some abduction material. The author of Incident at Exeter (another book in the extraterrestrial genre), John G. Fuller, did an excellent job of putting this all together. This was perhaps the first widely publicized alien abduction account that went global. This whole event occurred late one night on September 19th and into the early morning hours of September 20th, 1961. They later made a movie of this, as it was based off the book. Of course, the book will have way more detail.

Betty & Barney Hill were very credible people, which added believability to the story. Barney didn't want to believe this event even happened, nor did he want publicity. This story has the classic abduction events such as missing time, amnesia, medical examinations, etc. Under hypnosis, they revealed their missing time, which was approximately two lost hours. I once wrote about that subject, here: "Quantum Hypnotic Regression Therapy & Hypnosis for Alien Abductions."

#5 - Onboard UFO Encounters - authored by Preston Dennett - Some may disagree with this book making the list for good starter / beginner books for this subject, but it compliments many of the alien abduction stories that already exist out there. The main reason I put it on this list, is that it exercises your rational mind and helps gather common denominators, details, etc., when it comes to UFOs and Aliens. It helps you build a basis for what could be real and what is most likely a made-up story.

I currently only own two of Preston Dennett's books, but he has published many more than that. It seems that there isn't much of a filter in the two books I have of his, as it appears that anybody with a story can get published in them. The other one I have is over 500 pages long and it is called "The Healing Powers of UFOs - 300 true accounts of people healed by extraterrestrials." I really doubt if those two books are 100% true accounts, which is another reason I like them. They are quite entertaining. It sort of leaves it to the reader to try and separate fact from fiction. Which is ultimately why they are included here because that is an excellent way to dabble into these subjects, especially if you are a beginner. Sometimes it's good to get hit from all directions to find out which way to go. Ha!

As for more elaborate and advanced reading, well, it depends on which direction you favor or which area you get stuck at. Dr. Michael Salla has an excellent Secret Space Programs Series. I've currently been glancing at book three from that series, "Antarctica's Hidden History." You may prefer more advanced reading about Zero Point Energy. Moray B. King writes really well about that (ZPE) subject, and he has a book called "Quest for Zero Point Energy." Paul A. LaViolette, PhD, has an extremely detailed book called "Secrets of Antigravity Propulsion." If you are more into military documents and government top secrets concerning this subject, Steven M. Greer has a really big book called "Disclosure." 

After reading so much about UFOs and the advanced mind-power of aliens, telepathy, etc., you may end up branching off from this subject altogether and start studying mental aspects and possible advancements of the mind. I haven't read it yet, even though I bought a copy, but David Morehouse, PhD., has a highly recommended book about Remote Viewing - "The Complete User's Manual for Coordinate Remote Viewing." On another 'power of the mind' subject, Robert Peterson has a book called "Hacking the Out of Body Experience."

To end this post, if you want to just sum everything up into one crazy book without studying or learning anything, I suggest that you read the book called, "44 - An Ex-Soldier's True Story - Lifelong encounters involving alien abduction, men in black, a serial killer, and persecution by the Freemasons." Ha! I actually read that book this summer, since I finally had some free time. Holy crap! There weren't many dull moments in that insane book, let me tell ya! Of course, it didn't specialize in anything either nor will you learn very much, but it was entertaining, nonetheless.
