NEED TO KNOW: UFOS, THE MILITARY, AND INTELLIGENCE
Book ID/图书代码： 12844006B01682
English Summary/英文概要： UFOs remain essentially a military and intelligence problem - and one demanding unprecedented security and deception, with access to information on a strictly ’need to know’ basis. As early as 1960 former CIA director Admiral Hillenkoetter confirmed that, ’Behind the scenes, high-ranking air force officers are soberly concerned about the UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense.’ The same could be said today.
Based on many years of research by one of the world’s most respected authorities on alien phenomena, Need to Know draws on top-secret documents, reports of encounters with large craft of unknown origin from pilots and personnel aboard aircraft carriers and destroyers and interviews with high-ranking military insiders. It is full of revelations, including the alarming escalation of aircraft accidents and the disappearance of hundreds of military aircraft during UFO encounters and recent near-misses with UFOs. The evidence is clear, balanced - and irrefutable.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 不明飞行物体一直以来都是军事和情报的上的难题 — 这是一个史无前例的保密性欺骗，对于这些信息的获取都是严格按照‘须知’的基础条例上。早在1960年代，美国前中央情报局局长Admiral Hillenkoetter 就证实了这个问题，‘高级空军军官私底下就严密关注关于不明飞行物体。但通过官方的保密和炒作，导致了许多平民百姓都相信这些全都是无稽之谈。’即便是今天也是如此。
根据世界上最受尊敬的当局外星现象多年的研究，《须知》一书利用绝密文件资料，以及曾遭遇过大量此类不明原因的飞行员，以及登上航空母舰和驱逐舰的相关人员，和对高级军事内部人士的采访的相关报道。其中充满了内幕秘闻，包括飞机意外事故令人震惊的内容，数以百万计军用飞机在遭遇不明飞行物体时的突然失踪，以及近些年来所出现的不明飞行物体报告。这些佐证清晰，且有条不紊，无可辩驳。(Sandy)

The evidence that Good has amassed is too overwhelming to ignore and it is clear that a more open debate is long overdue. Above Top Secret is a bible for UFO watchers.
An obsessively researched look at what British sky-watcher Good (Alien Contact, 1993, etc.) deems ample international evidence of UFO visitations since the 1930s, and the repeated official denials that they ever happened. "UFOs are as real as the airplanes that fly over your head," declared former Canadian Minister of Defence Paul Hellyer in 2005. Good methodically lays out similar testimony from pilots, military men in air and sea, civilian observers, surgeons who operated on the extraterrestrials, generals and presidents, accompanying their words (some from sworn affidavits) with meticulous footnotes, photos, drawings and copies of documents. During World War II, small, seemingly remote-controlled flying objects dubbed "foo-fighters" created a nuisance for pilots. In the summer of 1946, a rash of sightings of "ghost rockets" across Scandinavia and other parts of Europe alarmed the U.S. military, which blamed them on the Soviets. Good believes UFO incursions were common in 1940s New Mexico, the site of U.S. atomic testing, and avers that the debris found near Roswell in 1947, quickly identified by the military as fragments from a military balloon, was in fact the remains of a flying-saucer crash. He chronicles alien-disc sightings during the Cold War, suggests that Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy were taken to disc-landing sites and maintains that since the 1940s, aliens have been communicating "with an elite group of U.S. military and scientific intelligence personnel [and] there has been a project was actually motivated by growing concerns about alien hostility, the author adds. The bizarre crash of a cigar-shaped craft near Varginha, Brazil, in January 1996 stranded strange creatures needing medical attention. Good excerpts some chilling material from an interview conducted by a fellow UFOlogist with comments are conflated into quotes collectively attributed to "Medical Personnel." The author certainly knows his stuff, and to his credit is keenly aware of the importance of documentation, however specious some of it may seem to the unconverted.
In this exhaustive and provocative polemic, Good (Above Top Secret, Alien Liaison), UFO researcher extraordinaire, endeavors to demonstrate that incontrovertible proof of UFOs is being buried by a global conspiracy of governments, academia and the media. Good catalogues hundreds of sightings of unidentified flying objects from the 1920s through the present and marshals scores of declassified government reports, news stories and eyewitness affidavits to support his often-controversial contentions: not only are aliens here, but the U.S. military has established contact with them; President Eisenhower met with aliens in 1954 at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif.; President Kennedy viewed alien bodies at an air force medical facility in Florida; President Nixon arranged for comedian Jackie Gleason to view alien bodies in 1973. Good emphasizes a lengthy record of credible witnesses, including military and airline pilots, who have reported unexplained phenomena, but he fails to provide incontrovertible evidence of UFOs, extraterrestrials or a global conspiracy of secrecy. Moreover, he ignores contradictory testimony, exaggerates rumors and circumstantial evidence, and reprises old charges. Nonetheless, UFO enthusiasts will appreciate this comprehensive and spirited UFO defense and the hundreds of supporting documents reproduced within.
