Parallels: Ancient Insights into Modern UFO Phenomena - Paperback

by Richard L. Thompson (Author)

For decades, researchers have exhaustively documented modern UFO phenomena, but questions remain about the origins of these strange objects and the intentions of the beings associated with them. In Parallels, Richard L. Thompson shows that answers may lie in the records of ancient civilizations claiming thousands of years of contact with races appearing to have an unearthly origin. Startling parallels between modern UFO accounts and events described in the ancient Sanskrit writings of India offer fresh insight into the nature of exotic incidents reported throughout human history. PUBLISHER'S NOTE: This book contains the author's text from the second edition of Alien Identities: Ancient Insights into Modern UFO Phenomena. The new title, Parallels, was the author's original choice.
