This is not a book of answers because nobody on any side of the issue really knows what UFOs are. Instead it is a book of questions starting with...What if UFOs are real? What might this mean for Humankind? Do UFOs represent 'nuts and bolts' craft piloted by sentient beings from other civilisations in space? Are they visitors from another planet? Are they human-like or human time travellers or beings from some other realm presently unknown to science? Recognition of this could profoundly alter our understanding of the universe and our outlook on life. The analyses and speculations are intended to encourage thought and discussion. The concepts explored here need to be critically examined and measured against the still unfolding UFO manifestation. Meanwhile we need to know what has been credibly reported, what possible explanations there are, and what it might all mean. Why did the CIA run a security clearance on this author without his knowledge or consent? The contents of UFO reports have become increasingly stories of alien creatures abducting humans and subjecting them to physical examinations have multiplied. The beings who sometimes appear more like apparitions than solid entities, display almost magical powers, including levitation, telepathy, movement through solid matter, and cause electrical malfunctions. Even if the abduction reports are imaginary, why would intelligent beings repeatedly hover over installations and then dart away, for no apparent purpose? Why would they buzz human vehicles, take soil samples and all the other repetitive actions year after year without doing something to remove all doubt about their nature and purpose? Why do they continue to dazzle us with exotic displays but not make open contact or whole communicate something definite to us?

2.0 de 5 estrellas A non scientific approach to the UFO issue
Calificado en Estados Unidos el 23 de septiembre de 2009

I have known Richard Hall since the years he was working at NICAP, and he cooperated with a Brazilian researcher, publishing what they called "UFO Critical Bulletin" (I'm talking about 50 years ago).

Reading his book is like reading "Flying Saucers are Real" or "Flying Saucers from Outer Space", both of USMC Major Donald E. Keyhoe. Same style, same approach, and same pre-jugdgement: v.g.UFOs are extraterrestrials, an alien product.

In science you can not jump to a conclusion when you have not evidence to do so, which is the case of UFOs. Too many tales, too many "ufo reports", not a single piece of what beyond any reasonable doubt could properly be called evidence in science.

Besides, there are some errors, like an alleged abduction --a faked case which I know quite well-- that happened in Bahia Blanca, Argentina, and Hall mentions it twice as (verbatim) "Bahio Blanca, Brazil".

The distribution of the material is attractive. Taken at first look, the book is impressive. But when you read it, you discover that there is nothing new. The book is of 1988, the first case mentioned goes 40 years back and the latest one is of 1986.

The author admits and uses a-critically any kind of information, validating for instance the work of Bud Hopkins and others.

Some times, it seems that a hint of rationality assaults Hall, but then he falls again with pleasure in the alien sea.

For instance, I totally agree with him when he asks: "Which among the large body of reported UFO data are we compelled to accept as a valid part of the problem to be explained?" (page 120). "How carefully have certain types of reports been investigated and validated?" (page 121).

Those two questions precisely are the base of my criticism to the book. Because just a tiny amount of the UFO reports Hall uses in the book have been carefully investigated, if so.

Therefore, this is a castle built on the sand. Nothing more than that.

Regretfully, Richard H. Hall passed away, because it would have been very constructive to have a discussion with him.

I respectfully make these comments on his book, as well as I do recognize he dedicated his life to the UFO subject, for which he has been mostly a good compiler and editor of reports. The other work he produced was "The UFO Evidence", a catalog of reports published in 1964, and "The UFO Evidence - Part II" published in 2001.

3.0 de 5 estrellas Generally Disappointing UFO Overview
Calificado en Estados Unidos el 15 de octubre de 2014
The 90 page "Case Summary" section is the best thing in this otherwise forgettable book. Richard Hall was involved with NICAP and MUFON. He had a controversial reputation. In Uninvited Guests he appears opinionated. Most of the book was written in 1986. He states that ten or twenty years ago the notion of alien abduction and crashed UFOs would have been considered crackpot "by all serious researchers". So, he thinks he is a serious researcher. Later in the book he states, "If the ETIs [sic] wanted to raise our consciousness without upsetting world government, they couldn't adopt a better plan than the manner in which they have manifested themselves to us so far." Would a "serious researcher" claim that? What does he know? Some declassified documents released under the Freedom of Information Act are included at the end, including an Oct 1975 National Military Command Center memo which states that "an unidentified helicopter, possibly two, had been sighted flying low over Loring AFB, Maine, in the proximity to a weapons storage area". He doesn't state in what capacity as a serious researcher he received information that unidentified objects close to weapons storage area doesn't upset world government.

He can't seem to make up his mind if alien abduction is a real phenomenon. On page 28 he uses the words, "even if the abduction accounts are imaginary," and on page 91 states that the "eye-opening" book Missing Time "makes the strongest case to date for the possible objective reality of abductions." Yet Hopkins' book makes the case that people are being abducted without their knowing, whereas that is not the case where abduction might have occurred in the incidents in the book's Case Summaries section. For example, on page 268, two Australian motorists reported seeing a UFO and experienced some missing time. Hypnotic regression was attempted, but on each occasion, they began to shake violently and the hypnotist gave up the attempt.

Regarding the book Behind the Flying Saucers, Hall states, "Scully was perhaps careless in reporting information from questionable sources." He doesn't state however how or why Scully's sources were questionable.

Instead of wasting space was his boring theories, Hall perhaps should have provided more details on each case presented in the Case Summaries, or else just reprint the NICAP publications UFOs: A New Look and Strange Effects from UFOs, which were far better.
