Extraterrestrial Visitations: True Accounts of Contact

This book is not a "blockbuster". It is humble and honest rather than sensationalistic. It is short and can easily be read in an afternoon. The author thankfully doesn't spend a lot of time defending his belief in the existence of UFOs. This book is a collection of several reports in the first person of the people who experienced the events. It covers many different types of missing time, sightings, abduction/visitor contacts, alien "exams"...in short, the usual. What I liked about it was that it didn't have a lot of editorializing. It just let the peoples' experiences speak for themselves. I like to read reports such as this because I have experienced several incidences of "high strangeness" in my life and I enjoy comparing notes with others to learn if others have experienced what I have. This book relates the words of average people living normal lives who have been in touch with something they cannot fully explain. It is not going to be found on any best seller list but it is just plain interesting, well paced, well written and fair-minded. It doesn't come across with dire predictions, conspiracy theories or any sweeping statements about the close encounter experience. The author has done the investigating, talked with the people and now shares with the reader so that we can piece this information together with our own understanding and insight. I appreciate it for what it is and recommend it if you are in the process of learning and investigating this phenomenon.

This is a good book for people interested in ufos and abductions. The author has a good style of writing and lets the people who have lived through these experiences, speak for themselves in the book. Preston lets you make up your own mind about the cases, instead of TELLING you what they mean and forcing a particular point of view on you like a lot of books and authors out there (David Jacobs, Stephen Greer, and others).I for one recommend it.
