Read Book Review

It was challenging for me to put this book into a common category for the genre listing, because it includes so much non-fiction, coupled with analysis both scientific and philosophical, as well as speculation as to the significance of the information contained, that it transcends any existing group. Regardless of the category, From Adam to Omega – An Anatomy of UFO Phenomena (Revised and Updated) by author A. R. Roberts stands out as a comprehensive “Cyclopedia” of information regarding the core of the UFO phenomena, as well as about 500 tangent topics to the subject, resulting in a generously rich and concise read to any and all interested in not only what extraterrestrial contact is all about, but distills into answering the question of the meaning of life. Yes, that’s the big question.

As a fan of ufology, this book was savored by me as I paged a rather lengthy recap of virtually every topic of the alien encounters’ history, past and present, as well as most interestingly his future predictions. Author Roberts doesn’t succumb to any quick and emotional conclusion, yet he doesn’t shy away from letting his expert beliefs go unsaid. His conclusions are sound in logical foundations of facts, based upon eye witnesses (himself included as he witnessed an event when he was 15 years old), written documents, pictures and more. The summary of hundreds of books of major thought leaders in the field are intricately woven into his work. Even the Bible plays a major role in establishing credibility to all of the working theories presented. Carefully postured in his writing not to insult any Catholics when talking about Jesus, many times in his book he refers to the “second coming,” and has an entire section of correlation of religious beliefs to ancient astronaut encounters.

With a section outlining his over 500 research notes including books by Eric von Däniken, perhaps the most well-known founder of the Ancient Alien movement, Zecharia Sitchin (The 12th Planet), Professor David Jacobs (his interviews with abductees) and the famous celebrity authors of the Ancient Alien Series on the History Channel, Roberts’ work is a herculean capitulation of data, summaries and conclusions by experts, scientists, theologians, and witnesses alike. Probing into what the government knows, and why they are keeping secrets, brings Roberts to his thoughts about “Disclosure.” I found his reasoning to be direct, spot-on and very sobering. It is something UFO skeptics should embrace, as this book brings it to a focus most ordinary conversations lack the time and factual foundation to argue.

Should this book have a “tin-foil” cover? No. The information is now mainstream in science, academia and even entertainment. The time has come for the reveal of the precarious frailty of human existence. From Adam to Omega – An Anatomy of UFO Phenomena is a book for everyone – believers, skeptics, abductees, and even extraterrestrials to read on their long space journeys!
