Nowadays, stories of abductions by small, bug-eyed beings have become fashionable. This has led to an unbalanced perspective. In Alien Base, Timothy Good focuses on worldwide reports of encounters with extraterrestrial beings, beginning in the early 20th century, many published here for the first time, and shows that descriptions of alien beings are far more diverse than we suppose. He recounts, for example, numerous cases of encounters with human-appearing extraterrestrials, such as the two-hour face-to-face contact reported by Air Marshal Sir Peter Horsley, a former deputy chief of Strike Command as well as equerry to HM The Queen and Prince Philip.
Alien Base contains a great deal of sensational new material, including photographs of aliens, cases involving repairs carried out to grounded craft, unidentified submarine objects reported by naval observers, UFO reports by pilots, animal mutilations, encounters with the “men in black”, and amazing stories of visits to alien bases. Good concludes that Earth is visited by a number of different species – some of whom have established bases here.
Alien Base went to No. 4 on the Guardian best-seller list.
book reviews
- The Scotsman
"Alien Base is packed with new, startling and hitherto unpublished reports, based on an impressive weight of testimony... Good marshals accounts from 1920 onwards to support his central, most dramatic thesis: not only is planet Earth regularly visited by up to a dozen alien species, but some have elected to stay, whether operating out of secret deep-sea bases or mingling with the human population."
- UFO Magazine
"An astonishing work which contains new reports of USO (unidentified submergible object) sightings, animal mutilation files, grounded UFOs and a fascinating photo section."
- Sir Arthur C. Clarke
"You certainly make a good case... Alien Base is very impressive."
- MUFON UFO Journal
"Alien Base will come to be regarded as pivotal in shaping our understanding of the phenomenon of alien contact."
- The Entertainer
"This 400-page tome is just crammed with new information and re-confirmed old information and is quite staggering... it is a book you will want to pick up time and time until you’ve read it from cover to cover."
