personnel aboard aircraft carriers and destroyers and interviews with high-ranking military insiders. This work contains revelations, including the alarming escalation of aircraft accidents and the disappearance of military aircraft during UFO encounters.
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.
Advantages: More on the search for truth in the science and in the universe Disadvantages: None
...Who dared to deal with the subject UFO, had forcedly to listen to all the series of mangled reprimands, glimpses and benevolent indulgence discourses, that the seriousness of the researcher, the scholar or the professor requested.
I am speaking for my university years, in a period from 1975 to the first 80es, in Italy, when I studied and achieved my degree in Astronomy. All that, led to an arrogant, a - cultural, a - scientific, a - philosophic, disrespectful way of dealing with the knowledge and the true search of it in regard of. One can therefore understand that there is no need to penetrate the secret political or military clubs, or the intelligence world, to see a sort of severe censure in act. Maybe, it was due only to ignorance (strange thing for certain environments to say). It appears that this censure is diminished...

Advantages: Strong storyline, good characterisation Disadvantages: Over-complicated ending
...intelligent, and manages to solve both mysteries in this book without even having much to do with it.
As one-offs, Timothy and Julia are engaging enough characters, and their youthful exuberance and innocence leads them into all sorts of potentially dangerous happenings. However, their love for one another, of course, carries on despite everything. Nanny Broome adds a bit of humour to the book. She talks to Timothy and Julia as if they are still small children and is fiercely loyal to Timothy. Unfortunately, she comes over as being a caricature and is not very believable.
Conclusion
I very much enjoyed this book, all the more so because Campion's often odd behaviour and ability to put nothing and nothing together is only a very small part of the book. Someone described this book as both an excellent piece of crime fiction and a good novel and I...

Advantages: A most compelling and thought provoking read on a very compelling subject Disadvantages: possible more maps and photo's could have been included
...constabulary as apparently they at some stage got involved, actually visiting the Air Bases herself and the alleged landing sites, as well as involving Nick Pope, and for those who don’t know, Nick Pope is the author of the book entitled “Open Skies Closed Minds”, and he was a civil servant who used to work for the British Government in the department that were responsible for all UFO sightings.
The book is very thought provoking and tries at great length to explain what really took place on those nights in December 1980.
What the reader must remember and take into account when reading this book that the people who allegedly saw this strange craft were highly trained military personnel, trained to observe and report things, as well as the fact that at the time both bases were in effect early warning bases with nuclear capability.
This like all...
