I HAVE KNOWN TIM GOOD FOR OVER ten years, during which I have formed the opinion that he is both honest and reliable. I am quite sure that he is not a "nut case," and equally sure that his long and diligent investigations have been efficiently conducted, and the results carefully and accurately reported. All this makes the astounding revelations in this book impossible, certainly for me, to dismiss, unless or until they are equally publicly disproved.
The plain fact is that either what he reports here is true, or it isn't. If his accounts of recovered UFOs, and their alien occupants, being in the hands of United States Government agencies (and perhaps those of the former Soviet Union, too) are not true, then it seems that many important and distinguished former public servants have perhaps lied, or have been grossly misreported. In the latter event, one must expect and hope that they will take the appropriate legal action to set the record straight.
In the same way, the apparently hard evidence of all sorts of other UFO information given by dozens of people, many of them prominent persons in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Mexico, Puerto Rico, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the former Soviet Union, is either true, or they are lying, hallucinating, or (again) have been grossly misrepresented. Since most of them are named by Tim Good in this book, they must now either put up or shut up.
Some of those prominent persons in the United States to whom Good has referred have denied what he reports them to have said. I find it significant that they have taken no other action, either publicly or in the courts. No doubt readers of this edition will draw their own conclusions.
