UFOs And The Alien Presence: Six Viewpoints Book Catalog An except from UFOs and the Alien Presence: Six Viewpoints

Acknowledgments

This book could not have been written without the contributions of many people. Thanks go above all to the six people - Stanton Friedman, Linda Howe, Budd Hopkins, Bob Lazar, Don Ware and Tom - whose interviews comprise the book's six chapters. All of them were totally cooperative throughout the long process that turns raw interviews into final text. They all checked their edited interviews for accuracy, provided photos and background information, answered numerous extra questions, and in general displayed patience and good will at every turn. I am deeply grateful to each one of them.

Thanks goes next to my research associate, Ralph Steiner. Ralph is an award-winning radio producer who resides in Berkeley, California. He conducted the interviews with Stan Friedman and Linda Howe that appear in this book, and joined me in interviewing Bob Lazar. Ralph and I work together on UFO-related investigations, sharing all our sources and data; he as a radio journalist, I as a print journalist. He has made my work on this book much easier.

Thanks to Gene Huff for special assistance on the Bob Lazar interview. Thanks also to Vicki Cooper and Don Ecker at UFO magazine; and to Bill Hamilton, Fred Beckman, Jacques Vallee, William L. Moore, David at CUFOS, Shawn Atlanti, Charles Hickson, Bob Girard and Don Berliner.

Thanks to Crit Taylor and Karen Thomas for the cover artwork. Thanks to Steve Diamond, Peter Lindemann and Terri Newlon for encouragement and good ideas. Thanks to Leslie for everything.

Finally, a special note of thanks to those who have requested anonymity, without whose help the truth of the alien presence might never be known.
