Synopsis
This book explores the often contradictory information about the UFO phenomenon. As author Linda Moulton Howe states in the introduction, she once asked an Intelligence Officer about a Colonel who supposedly spent time with an EBE (extraterrestrial biological entity). The Colonel said the EBE explained telepathically that our universe was not the only one. He said to imagine a large island of sand and each sand grain was a different universe separated from the others by an electromagnetic membrane and a giant cold sea surrounded the island. She asked what was the sea? And he answered she did not want to know because it would change her forever. This ominous tone sets the pace for the book -- suspense, intrigue, and riddles. Things are what they seem, or are they are? In her book, Howe tackles the military mind, light beams, discs, and animal deaths. Then she delves into really high strangeness with areas familiar, and not so familiar to abductees. She details information learned about aliens, other worlds, body containers and souls of light. Many readers report being shown containers of souls or clones of humans and these are investigated thoroughly in the book. She includes photos and analyses from many different investigations, and details conversations with abductees and transcripts of their discussions, many appreciate her frankness in discussing these topics openly. Alien surgery is more bizarre than anything found in other popular abduction books. She explores organ and body transplants, clones, and various surgical procedures and devices. The apocalypse, crop circles, Christ, and changing bodies, and bodies in containers provide insights into comments heard from other abductees. Christian, Jewish, and Islamic faiths are investigated, along with their similarities and differences. Ancient languages and legendary Gods are explored as well. Although this may be the bulkiest and most expensive UFO paperback around, it is well worth the investment.
Review
Recovered crash debris, information from alleged military insiders, and the transfer of human souls from body to body--this isn't the script for the next SF blockbuster, but the voluminous exposition of evidence for a mystery involving the entire human race. What Linda Howe calls a "hall of mirrors with a quicksand floor" started as a simple argument about where strange lights in the sky come from and has turned into a discussion of entities with enigmatic motives possessing the ability to control the human mind. Howe didn't write Glimpses of Other Realities for light entertainment (this book is annotated and appended better than most university textbooks), and anyone who doesn't take the idea of alien encounters seriously will be challenged by the depth of the book's coverage. However, readers passionate about UFO and alien contact phenomena will be rewarded with a profusion of evidence favoring the existence of an extraterrestrial race. Howe connects this evidence piece by piece, like an immense jigsaw puzzle, but by the end of the book, the pieces form only the picture of a keyhole through which to peer. With no box lid to reveal what the whole picture looks like, Howe will hopefully gather more pieces soon. --Brian Patterson
