Has anybody read the Book “MAJESTIC” by Whitley Strieber?
what did you think of it?
Is it real or as he says, just fiction…
Since this is a question about “The Arts,” let’s go to Cafe Society.

Fiction, and not even very good fiction. There are any number of better written ‘government alien Roswell conspiracy’ novels out there.
Hi. I liked it but I was much younger when I first read it. I was on a UFO BBS (pre-Internet forum) and read a few pages that some Dutch guy had typed up. I was much more willing to “believe” back then, as I thought the idea of UFOs and aliens was really cool.
So I went to my local library and tried to order a copy. The authors name had been mangled in the type-up so it took some time but I eventually found it. I loved reading it, less for the work itself and more for the input to my imagination.

Can you name a few, or articles on the net which you consider readable?
Thanks
Everything Whitley Strieber has ever written is fiction. Especially the non-fiction.
Specific titles? No. It has been more than thirty years since I was enough into UFOs to remember specific titles, and the UFO/conspiracy industry has changed in that time. Heck, I can remember when the Aliens were toga-wearing tall humanoids from the Pleiades who were concerned that we had atomic power. This was in the “serious” UFO literature, not just sci-fi stories. They Grays didn’t take over until my interest was distracted by jobs, marriage, and raising children and I had cut way back on my flying saucering.
My taste for government conspiracy potboilers means that I have read so many in the past few decades the details of individual novels blend together. (The past ten years my light reading has been more inclined toward war stories and books whose covers feature pretty girls with big fickin’ guns.)
I might suggest going to Amazon and seeing what they recommend.
