A Book Review Dear List members, Gentle and Otherwise and of course, Dr. Kanappy; I just finished writing a review of a book which I read and enjoyed so much, I wanted share it with you. I realize it's been in print for a while and likely has been discussed here, prior to my subscribing to this list, however I enjoyed it so much, that I felt compelled to bring it to your attention yet again, most especially in light of recent sightings of the "triangle." More to the point, I myself have sighted this triumvirate of lights in the sky, seemingly attached to something which should not be able to stay up there... And so to my friends and some of my fiends, permit me to recommend it and to explain why. The review I wrote was for another venue. I cannot post it here, as it is no longer my property. However there are some things which I can relate which may be appropriate to this list. I wrote the review mostly for me, because the book was a blessing in it's simplicity and it's well met quality of (according to the authors) of truth in fiction. Not an oxymoron, as many write from their own life experience. And doing so precludes anything but a statement of a reality in it's most basic form. And I wrote it also, because the UFOs described in the book bear such close resemblance to the UFOs which I observed in the skies over my lower New York State home, and again over the Indian Point Nuclear Power generating plant not more than 18 miles from my home, NNW as the crow flies. Well, the book is Alien Rapture ... The challenge to this book is in seeing the truth in it's pages, truth mixed in with the fiction. And we all know that when it comes to the subjects discussed on this list, truth becomes specifically relative to each person's pair of dimes. It tends not to be as stable as absolute truth. The issue is, just how many of those objects which have been seen by so many people over decades, are _ours_? While the answer is not _necessarily_ in this book, there is that kernel of truth, which shines through the tarnish on my pair of dimes. The one I saw and reported in September of 1998 could very well have been ours in spite of it's slow speed and huge size, if one is to believe the theory intrinsic to Fouche's book. But the other sighting? ... uh, .... no way. Things which are made on this ball of dirt, even reverse engineered at places like Groom and Area 51, do not go from hovering over a nuclear power plant on the Hudson River, all the way to "ludicrous speed" in a heartbeat. No one I know of can take the forces generated, or for that matter compensate for them. And no one I know, nor any entity from hereabouts, can deliver that kind of technology without waving it in the noses of our many enemies ... no one person or group of persons can allow the lives of so many American soldiers as well as the righteous young men and women of so many other nations, to die needlessly whilst we sit on a technology which can bring us into space, outer and inner, to world peace, and with an ease and a joy of benefits unthinkable, even the destruction of diseases presently without cures; cancer, MS and so many others. No one can do that. Can they? And if they are doing so, that is, keeping this technology from the rest of the world, from keeping us healthy, safe and sound... from exploring the outer reaches of our solar system... then what do we do with such as those, when and if we find out what they've done to us over so many years? If you've read the book, then someone please explain how a government, secret or otherwise, with so much power and technology, may hold out on the rest of the world at large in the effort at maintaining that power? And if you've not, but are a conspiracy buff, I ask the same question. And one other question. Read the book. Enjoy the plot and the excitement it generates. And decide for yourselves how much power may corrupt a few men who fail to use it in any venue. Regardless of the truth or lack of it, this book was one hell of a "I just can't put it down" read. I am one of those who think there's more of "them" in these wedge-shaped doohickies than of "us." I loved the book. I even take a good deal of it as truth. But the main conclusion is one I cannot grasp, that a group of people could take it upon themselves to keep such power and not use it.... to _any_ purpose.... good or evil. Doesn't make sense to me. Does it make sense to anyone else? Dr. Silly N. Naive, Ph.D.
