Overview

SETI is still searching for the existence of aliens. We already have their names. 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 the biggest mass of 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!

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 Kottmeyer has done something that few authors seldom do: he leaves his own views and beliefs at the door, and instead provides the reader with entertaining - and otherwise very hard to find - summaries on alleged other-worldly entities that have supposedly been manifesting before select members of the Human Race for decades. Kottmeyer relates their bizarre, unverifiable and at times completely false tales, prophecies and warnings. And, in a roundabout way, he amply demonstrates that for all the attempts to legitimise Ufology as a serious science, it is still a subject that is packed with odd and unusual characters with weird names and even weirder motivations...An Alien Who's Who is vital reading for anyone and everyone that wants to learn more about some of the strange, other-worldly beings said to have visited our planet and whose exploits, without Kottmeyer, would otherwise be lost to the fog of time...Martin Kottmeyer's book is damned good fun and highly informative. - Nick Redfern, AlienWorlds The UFO saga has spawned what must be the most bizarre Who's Who in history. We have the prolific watcher and commentator on the historical, cultural, and psychological facets of UFO culture, Martin Kottmeyer to thank for [this book]... a welcome contribution. - Bill Chalker, The Ufologist Magazine ...useful for those who want more exotic names for their children, puppies or pop groups (try Sharri and the Shannondoans). - Peter Rogerson, Magonia
