It’s kind of a mystery to me why I’ve waited so long to search for this, but nevertheless:
Quite some time back (circa 1990) I caught the end of an interview on All Things Considered with the author of a book about UFOs. It was his premise that all of the belief about grey aliens and Aryan-type aliens stemmed from a disinformation campaign conducted by the U.S. government.
It was his idea that since the 1950s when people observed secret aircraft being tested the government feeds them a line about how “white aliens” and “grey aliens” are having an interplanetary war and the U.S. is secretly helping whichever side are the good guys. Federal agents swear people to secrecy, figuring plenty of them would shoot their mouths off, thereby looking like fools, and causing people to ignore whatever they had actually observed concerning secret aircraft. Part of the story the government spreads is that Moses and Jesus were good aliens.
I figured I’d hear more about the book in time, but I never did, and I can’t identify the book now. Does anyone know the title and author?
The second book is, I believe, authored or co-authored by Jenny Randles. In it there is a long account of how a man who served in the British army in World War I claimed that he had a surreal experience as a boy where he wandered into an addition to his village which subsequently disappeared.
Years later while serving in France he visited an abandoned village called Malauney and, walking up to the second floor of a empty house, he looked out a window and saw a scene identical to a view he saw that day as a child in the strange addition to his village which later vanished. There was also something about how a street sign he saw as a boy said “Windmill Street” and he later returned to his hometown and found there was now a Windmill Street where he remembered having seen it.
There were also various pieces about time travel and UFOs in the book.
Can anyone identify this silly book for me?
