The World's most amazing Humanoid encounter cases.
The bizarre, real, global reports of; UFO occupants - Ultraterrestrials, Extraterrestrials, Intraterrestrials, Robots and more. Mysterious beings - Bigfoot, Flying Humanoids, Lightbeings, Skinwalkers and even stranger exotic humanoids.
Albert S. Rosales is the world's leading expert on humanoid encounter cases.
Can I just say that the line "Albert S. Rosales is the world's leading expert on humanoid encounter cases" is absolute bull-poop. Firstly, not all the cases involve humanoid entities and really you need to investigate and research and even then you most certainly are not an "expert" -after almost 50 years I would never call myself an "expert". There is also the intro where Rosales calls out unnamed people for using his data uncredited. That is a huge pile of bull poop. and I will explain why.
Firstly, there are no investigations or case studies and this appears to be just a listing of known cases -a list you can find by going to the Hynek Center for UFO Studies and checking out Ted Bloecher and David F. Webb's Hum Cat index cards. Add a few cases such as you can find in many online sources and that's it. Aleister Crowley is on the cover and I looked twice and could not recall any account of his meeting humanoids (aliens etc). Well, the photo is again included in the book as someone one associated with Crowley is mention. uh-huh.
If you go the URE CAT (English and French version) you will find many of these reports (unless they are investigated and very few are investigated, you cannot call them cases) I know are fake, hoaxes and some are inaccurate which is why I gather as many sources as possible for my files. So calling out people who Rosales thinks took 'his' work (and it is available online anyway) is a tad rich. Compiling a list of report summaries does not make you an expert on any subject let alone UFOs or CE3K/AE reports.
Now that I have disposed of the bull-shit let's look at the actual book. Typing the summaries up and compiling a book is work so even if some cases are not kosher (genuine) that deserves credit. What this series will be useful for is research and if you are looking up UFO sightings from 1900 or the 1920s and wonder whether there were any CE3K/AE reports from that period -open this book up and you can check. Never ever take it as 100% accurate but look at any reports and seek out other sources to see if they are consistent and always go back to the original source quoted.
Hyperbole is part and parcel of selling and in publishing it is almost a must so I can look past that and the fact that no investigation or research is carried out and shown I can see these volumes as very useful for their reference sources as well as for adding cases you know of to it. I am about investigation and research so I may seem a tad harsh (people quote their "favourite tales" from the book like it is a collection of old fairy tales!) but that does not hide the fact that for reference this book is fine.
Will I be buying other volumes? Hmm. Possibly for a set of handy references (my files are far too bulky to keep pulling off the shelves!) so if you just want a collection of reports for a read or to base your own research on this is okay.
