UFOs: Myths, Conspiracies, and Realities

Praise for UFOs:

“Alexander succeeds in separating solid facts and credible witnesses from the myths and conspiracy theorists.” –Publishers Weekly

“John Alexander is the real deal. He doesn’t just talk the talk - he’s walked the walk. Here’s a man with a top secret security clearance who researched the UFO phenomenon and discussed it at the highest levels, in the shadowy world of military and intelligence which he’s inhabited for decades. Forget everything you think you know about UFOs - this insider’s account exposes the reality. And it’s a reality that will come as a big surprise. Packed with top grade information, insightful analysis and fascinating anecdotes, Alexander’s interesting and controversial book sets the gold standard for titles on this subject.” –Nick Pope, author of Open Skies, Closed Minds

“UFOs: Myths, Conspiracies and Realities changes the playing field for both true believers and skeptics alike. Alexander notes disclosure has already happened, and what is really wanted is conformation. He strongly warns, be careful what you wish for when asking for presidential intervention. Success could set the field of ufology back decades.” –George Noory, host of Coast to Coast AM

“In these pages, Dr. Alexander describes the ultimate exploration of the government’s UFO secrets: that of an insider with the clearances and credentials to discover the truth. And the truth that he has discovered is deeply shocking: somebody–or something–is certainly here, but we have no ongoing response to this mysterious presence at all. Irrefutable cases confirm a UFO reality, but, at best, official response has been sketchy and no effort has been made at all to determine whether or not this reality represents a threat to the people of earth. For anybody interested in the UFO mystery, or concerned about the human future, Dr. Alexander’s book is a must-read.” –Whitley Strieber, author of Communion

“Dr. John B. Alexander delivers a captivating and one-of-a-kind exposé of UFO phenomena and conspiracy theories. Told from the unmatched perspective of a government insider, and combining encyclopedic-knowledge with a passion for the subject matter, Dr. Alexander takes on the long standing debate of whether or not UFOs exist while opening the door to a whole new set of mysteries. Whether you’re a believer or not, this fact based analysis is a must read.” –Gale Anne Hurd, owner of Valhalla Movie Productions, and producer of the movies Terminator, The Abyss, Aliens, and Armageddon

“No one else could have written this book. You will marvel at what Col. Alexander has done, over six decades, to be able to offer neither theories nor opinions, but facts from the real world. He quotes UFO sightings by family members and trusted friends with no incentive to lie, and data from sophisticated instrumentation, showing performance unachievable by known aircraft (e.g., 4000 mph and 90 degree turns), from which he concludes that physical phenomena are occurring, but their source and nature are unknown.

He quotes data from polls showing that 62% of the American people believe their government knows about extraterrestrial beings, but has repeatedly denied or hidden that information.

He also explains why this is almost certainly untrue. He talked directly with many officials at the four-star level of authority who believe the same thing, and yet had no such knowledge themselves. He concludes that there is no person in government who is running, or who has responsibility for such a program, and he explains in factual detail, the basis for this conclusion.

You will learn a lot about UFOs from this book. You will learn even more valuable information about how your government works. And you will enjoy every minute of the experience.” – Dr. Theodore Rockwell, former technical director of Admiral Rickover’s program for the nuclear navy and President Eisenhower’s Atoms for Peace (1949-64), and co-founder of the engineering firm MPR Associates

“Col. Alexander’s data-rich book is a must read by anyone with even a passing curiosity about UFOs and the government’s involvement and knowledge of this controversial subject. Authored by a well-connected government insider with decades of access to senior military and civilian leaders, and who convened a highly-classified, officially-sanctioned UFO study group, Col. Alexander provides a firsthand, behind-the-scenes look at the intricate government/intelligence/’military-industrial-complex’ structure that emerges from his careful study. With candor and meticulous attention to detail, Col. Alexander shares his personal odyssey to determine the ground truth reality concerning the UFO enigma and the government’s role in it. The verdict: On the one hand he finds that our nation’s best defense assets unequivocally confirm the existence of UFOs as physical objects of extraordinary performance capability, apparently intelligently controlled; on the other hand he also deconstructs many of the field’s most vaunted myths and conspiracies that have grown up around this controversial and contentious topic. Believers and skeptics alike will thus find much here to challenge a priori assumptions.” –Harold E. Puthoff, Ph.D., Director of the Institute for Advanced Studies at Austin

“Much of the extant literature pertaining to putative UFO phenomena tends to bog down in tedious reiterations of time-worn empirical evidence and speculative theoretical propositions. In refreshing contrast, John Alexander’s first-person reportage of the mish-mash of government attention (and curious lack thereof) to this potentially portentous subject quickly draws the reader into personal cognizance of an unfolding saga of all-too-familiar bureaucratic federal bumbling. The physical interpretations proposed by the author on the basis of his intimate personal involvement with this polyglot technical, political, and psychological scenario, therefore merit some careful consideration. No serious scholar of the persistent paradoxes that swirl around these bizarre phenomena should neglect these perspectives.” –R.G. Jahn, Professor and Dean, Emeritus, School of Engineering and Applied Science. Princeton University

“Dr. John B. Alexander has taken an unflinching, courageous look at one of the most controversial and important issues of our time. Alexander’s fascinating, careful approach shifts the dialogue around UFOs to a new level.” –Larry Dossey, MD, author of The Power of Premonitions
