This book is at once a journey of scientific discovery and the story of the personal struggle the author has fought since he had an apparent close encounter in 1985. He has been criticized for creating folklore, been called insane, and labelled a liar and a cult leader. Naturally, he wants to correct the record. But more than that, he has come to feel certain that something truly earthshaking is happening -- something far stranger, far more incredible than anyone suspected -- and that it is being seriously misunderstood and ignored, all of which has made mankind vulnerable.

To change all this, he has needed physical proof. Now he has it, and this book is the story of how he got it, and what it is.

"Ironically, even as it asks the best questions I have ever come up with, this book does provide some key answers, and they present an incredible picture indeed. What it all means, science must tell us. But if I am right about what it suggests, what is by far the most extraordinary event in history is unfolding right now....

So what is this evidence? Alien bodies, perhaps, or faster-than-light communications equipment? This is not a book of proof of alien presence, but of evidence that confirms that an unknown phenomenon is unfolding among us. This phenomenon emerges in three distinct areas:
-- the first is a dramatic growth in amateur video recording of strange things in the sky
-- the second is the unexpectedly huge body of close encouter testimony that is far, far different from anything that has thus far appeared in print
--the third is the unexplained objects that have been surgically removed from some close encounter witnesses, myself included, who claim to have been implanted with them during their encounters".
