Ashtar,
Xyclon, Teletron, Sananda, Umaruru - so many names, so many aliens. Who
can keep track of them all?
Thankfully, you don't have to. An
Alien Who's Who
has done it for you, collecting together nearly a thousand names of
real extraterrestrials encountered by earthlings since flying saucers
began taking over the planet. We've sifted through the writings of
hundreds of UFO contactees, ufologists, and experiencers to bring to
you not only their names, but also their views on God, Earth's future,
eternity, politics, and how we should run our lives. Like 'em or not,
we strongly advise you: Don't leave Earth without it!
“Why
should we even take any of this seriously? Charles Fort had the perfect
reply: ‘If there is a universal mind, must it be sane?’” – from the
foreword by Greg Bishop

What they're
saying about An
Alien Who's Who...
"Directory
to a plethora of alleged alien personalities who have been recorded
since the beginning of UFO literature, with noteworthy additional
aliens appearing in sources outside of the UFO field, such as Aleister
Crowley. The concept of the book is in itself something
serious
to contemplate--for in addition to the apparent fact that no two UFOs,
like snowflakes, are ever exactly alike, neither are any two aliens--at
least not any among the hundreds of names in this directory.
And
these are very, very disturbing aspects of UFO study, given the immense
problems of A) surviving long enough as a planetary society to achieve
the perfection of interstellar travel without previously extinguishing
itself, and then B) actually reaching civilized destinations in
interstellar space. Can so many different beings, from so
many
different civilizations, actually be exploring in Earth's environment
in so many different kinds of ships? It boggles the mind to
speculate that even ONE offworld culture might have beat all of the
odds against exactly that...A book of extreme importance!" – Bob
Girard, Arcturus Books

Sample
entries...
Alpha
La Zulu
alt. Alpha La Zoo Loo
f. 2.5 light years beyond Alpha Centauri
c. Harry Joe Turner
He questioned Turner about his name, his truck’s
transmission, and other things Turner can’t recall very well. Its face
was
numberless, distinct from the faces of other entities in his contact
that had a series of numbers on them. It had a pale complexion and the
skin was cold like it was dead. It was thought this might indicate
bionic body parts. Their world was racked by a nuclear holocaust, but
they were still so advanced we look like a bunch of walkin’ idiots in
comparison.
s. Fred Whiting, “The Harry Joe Turner Case,” Frontiers of Science,
2:3, March/April 1980, pp. 32-8; Allan Hendry, “Abducted! 4 Startling
Stories of 1979,” Frontiers
of Science, July/August 1980, pp. 29-30, 31.
Princess
Moon Owl
f. Ceres
c. Jaye Paro
Six foot tall Negroid with large glassy eyes and
a
feather costume. Seven oongots old (350 years). She had difficulty
breathing and exhibited gasping and
wheezing. She also had body odor
like rotten eggs. Delivered on a radio interview show a hilarious
30-minute monologue about life on the planet Ceres in the asteroid
belt. Familiar with all UFO buffs in the New York area, dismissing some
as phonies, others as praiseworthy. Gave silly predictions. She later
got publicity by handing out money.
s. John Keel, The
Mothman Prophecies, Signet, 1976, pp. 175-6.
Soltek
f. Centurus, second planet of Alpha
Centaurus,
member of the Universal Confederation
c. Richard Miller, Thelma Terrell
Astrophysicist. A rather
distinguished young man resembling Clark
Gable. He is into astrological symbolism. Believes in Atlanteans and
Lemurians.
Missionary. He says ten million of their craft are being
used as a jerry-rigged force field to protect us all from a
concentration of cosmic radiation. He indicates the UFO movement is now
on a higher level, so the attention-getting of the 1950s is now past.
Spiritual contacts are a thousand times more effective in enfolding
understanding.
s. Ruth Montgomery, Aliens
Among Us, Fawcett
Crest, 1985, p. 53.
