Well-researched & Well-reasoned = Satisfying Answers

Hugh Ross is the only author on the subject of UFOs and extraterrestrials (that I am aware of) that avoids both the unsubstantiated claims of the "true believer" as well as the unsubstantiated skepticism of the typical "scientist." He is able to unravel truth from fiction, and like the good scientist (astronomer) that he is, looks hard at the data without trying to make the data fit a preconceived framework. He comes to the conclusion that, though most UFO "sightings" can be explained by natural causes, there are a small but substantial number that cannot be explained naturally, but that the evidence, nevertheless, supports as being real. This leads to the conclusion that some UFO phenomena are real but not natural, i.e. not of the physical dimension, nor subject to the laws of physics that govern the entire universe. Therefore they are of another dimension, not simply from another part of the universe. Ross and his co-writers bring out thoughtful and orthodox Biblical teaching to explain what these "beings" could possibly be, and why some people seem to be more subject to their spooky visitations than others. I found the book well-reasoned and well-researched. I feel satisfied that it offers the only reasonable explanation that encompasses all of the data, and explains all of the unusual phenomena. Even for those who do not believe in anything spiritual, the clarity of the research and the collection of data alone is worth the price of the book for those interested in this issue.

Demons behind UFOs

LAST SUMMER, ATTENTION was focused on the southern skies, where Mars appeared brighter than usual. Its orbit had placed it within 35 million miles of Earth, the closest the two planets have been in 60,000 years. The curious were drawn outdoors, hoping to catch a brighter than normal glimpse of the red planet. Some, no doubt, came away pondering the existence of extraterrestrials. Interest in UFO phenomenon continues to fuel the success of movies such as "Signs," and "Contact" as well as TV Shows like "The X-Files" and more recently, Steven Spielberg's "Taken." For millennia, man has wondered whether he is alone in the universe. Organizations such as the SETI Institute (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence), founded in 1984, employs more than 100 scientists, educators, and support staff in its quest to "explore, understand and explain the origin, nature and prevalence of life in the universe." To date, they've come up empty. The assumption that there must be life somewhere else in the universe is rooted in the philosophies of evolution and naturalism. It goes something like this: Given the sheer numbers of stars and the possibilities of planetary systems orbiting them, the probabilities of there being another earthlike planet where evolution occurred is significant. Swiss author Erich Von Daniken - founder of the Archaeology, Astronautics, and SETI Research Association - has been weighing in on the subject since the 1970s with his bestseller "Chariots of the Gods: Unsolved Mysteries of the Past." "On a clear night, the naked eye can see about 4,500 stars, so the astronomers say. The telescope of even a small observatory makes nearly 2,000,000 stars visible and a modern reflecting telescope brings the light from thousands of millions more to the viewer," writes Von Daniken, and he concludes there must be at least 100,000 planets upon which "civilizations more advanced than our own could have developed." Much of the book cites "dramatic discoveries" such as "an alien astronaut preserved in a pyramid" and "a giant spaceport in the Andes" that Von Daniken offers as "irrefutable evidence that Earth has been visited repeatedly by advanced aliens from other worlds." Though Von Daniken's claims have been debunked by reputable experts, he continues to promote his theories by writing, lecturing, appearing in films and TV specials, and maintaining a multilingual Web site (www.daniken.com). This year, he even launched a Mystery Park in Switzerland. The Bible is silent about the existence of life on other worlds. With the exception of the angelic host - both good and evil - nowhere in Scripture is it explicitly stated that there are other races of beings anywhere in the universe that might give rise to UFOs. Genesis simply states God created celestial objects solely: "to divide the day from the night ... for signs and seasons ... for days and years ... to give light on the earth," (Genesis 1:14-15). This thesis is supported in this book The authors of "Li

Multi-level approach at analyzing RUFO phenomonon

Overall, I was impressed by the way this book was organized. The authors investigate the probability of rudimentary and advanced life existing in other parts of the universe, looking at the many challenges of intergalactic space travel, and government conspiracy theories (among other topics). Before fully delving into the extra-dimensional explanation, the readers have been lifted to a level where they can step back and see the UFO phenomenon through the scope of rational thinking. The real experience of abductees and those who claim to have had close encounters are not ridiculed nor dismissed. The authors address a topic that I have wondered about for many years. Is it possibile for travel between (theoretically backed) existing dimensions - outside of x,y,z, and time - which we as humans are limited?The scientific claims and theories regarding RUFOs (residual UFOs) are backed up by using Biblical scripture and scriptural accounts. If you profess to be a Christian you will take from this book ample evidence linking the demonic powers described in the Bible with RUFO encounters. If you are not a Christian, this book will be an excellent beginning resource to see the utter uniqueness of our solar system, our earth, the existence of life, and the very real possibility that an intelligence beyond our universe exists.A fascinating read!

Well-researched, well-documented, logically presented

An outstanding presentation by three exceedingly competent authors, the book is ideal for non-thesists, Christians, UFO aficionados, scientists, lay persons, or those who are merely intrigued by UFO claims. The authors don't just make claims, they give outstanding, well-documented evidence for them, and unlike other books on the subject, there is no hype or exaggeration. The scientific evidence is detailed enough in the appendices to invite scientists, but in the main body copy it is simple enough to keep the attention of non-scientists. The arguments are well-formed and sound. The theology expresses a Christianity that all major historical Christian denominations can agree on. The writing is interesting and flows nicely. Overall, this book is a rare, level-headed find in the genre of UFO studies, and should be a high-scorer among popular and technical readers. Excellent book.

Finally Answers To The UFO Mystery

Most UFOs are just naturally occurring events, hoaxes, or military aircraft as we all know but what about those few that really cannot be explained? What about the claims that people make that have encountered alien life forms visiting Earth?You can find a lot of UFO book on the market that claim they hold the answers to this puzzling phenomenon but they usually only leave you with more questions then answers.Lights in the sky breaks the trend. It proves the answers to the UFO mystery. It starts by making the case that life on other plants is highly improbable and interstellar space travel is even more improbable and borders on impossible due sheer distance and the dangers of space travel. These claims are backed up with science and it goes into some depth. Meanwhile, the idea of a government cover-up can be chalked up to simple slow moving bureaucratic procedures. Lights makes the claim that real UFO encounters are of a more super nature occurrence and are usually experienced by people who have a connection with the Occult. That these experiences are of demonic origins. Before you scoff at this idea keep in mind that idea of UFOs as we know them became popularized as the human race pioneered space travel. Pervious to then, people claimed to have seen "air ships" at the turn of the century and "fairies" and other mystical beings before then.Lights in the Sky is well written and well research and is a must read for anybody interested in UFOs. Its aimed for a Christian audience but its not at all preachy. Its a work that should be taken seriously by both Christian and non-Christians.
