Great read with varied viewpoints

Michael Mannion presents a compelling story and compilation of facts regarding the ET phenomena. When I read the last chapter, I realized the book was nearing the end and I did not want it to end because of the level of intrigue I felt and insight he conveyed in the last chapter. I hope he decides to come out with a volume two. Seriously, a very smart man with an abundance of information to share.

A fabulous, clear, concise look at the complex UFO-ET enigma

Project Mindshift is unlike any other book on this subject that I have ever read. It has a fresh perspective that captures the complexity of the question of extraterrestrial life. In one volume, Mannion presents the reader with a compelling case for the reality of extraterrestrial life; tantalizing evidence of a covert re-education campaign; and an in-depth look at the spectrum of opinion about this important topic through interviews with leading experts. Mannion's chapter on the mindshift in science that is underway is filled with information that I have not found in any other book about the UFO-ET phenomenon. His thoughts on the work of the scientist Wilhelm Reich should be widely read by scientists and non-scientists alike. I highly recommend this book. It is beautifully and sensitively written.

I Love This Book!

I have always been interested in UFOlogy since it seems to me that these phenomena are obviously more than just psychotic ravings or wishful thinking. There is just too much anecdotal evidence to support the notion that something is indeed going on, not to mention the fact that it just seems plain stupid to assume that we are the only intelligent life in the universe. The government and media's overt dismissal of the existence of UFOs has always struck me as forced and rather unconvincing. I didn't really understand why, until I read Mannion's awesome book. He puts all the pieces together, includes interviews with several experts in the field-- many of whom don't seem to agree with his hypothesis at first glance--and goes beyond the standard UFO rap into uncharted and fascinating waters. This book is brilliant--and very much needed.

A carefully-researched, provocative, highly-readable book

Every so often a great thinker asks us to consider-or, rather, reconsider-what we'd heretofore taken for granted. Michael Mannion is one such thinker, and Project Mindshift is one such book. Whether or not you believe in the possibility that UFOs visit the earth, Mannion's careful reserarch into fifty years of government documents, statements by high-ranking military personnel and articles written in the establishment press makes his thesis all the more viable. What's more, this book is a pleasure to read--Mannion is a patient teacher, a caring scholar, a witty conversationalist in print.

More than an eyeopener!

This is a wonderful book from an unusual author. Michael Mannion is capable of giving you an unbiased view of the different directions UFOlogy has taken. Besides it shows the social,political and psychological environment which originated them. But being open and non-narcissistic does not mean he has nothing to say: to the contrary, he has an interesting hypothesis for himself which is reflected throughout the book. And at the end he is one of the few to recognize what really matters! This book has much more to offer than UFOlogy if you open up yourself to it.
