Entertaining and Provocative History

For those who deny the reality of this phenomenon, please don't bother those of us that accept it. Just go on to some other subject. This is not a book for you. Those of us, in the millions, who are aware of the reality of UFOs and do not wish to argue the point anymore will find this book interesting. I for one do not care to debate the reality issue anymore. As far as I know, Preston Dennett has set a precedent here by writing a documentary account of sightings and personal experiences with the UFO presence expressly in California. He has sited Blue Book cases, books, magazines, and newspaper articles and given us an entertaining and sometimes spine-tingling accounting of that extensive research. I read through this book relatively fast as I found it absorbing and enlightening. The documentation is thorough, Dennett is not making these stories up! If you are a California resident and have interest in the subject matter, I recommend this book wholeheartedly. It was interesting to read the history of my particular area of California, and thought provoking to get a concept of how the phenomenon has progressed and become more overt over time. The book exposes a wide range of interesting cases from the very southern tip of California to the Oregon coast. I found this book well worth the price. Thank you Mr. Dennett!

UFOs Over California

This book was logically organized, and presented with a vocabulary that gripped your attention from the getgo. If even 1/20th of what the author says is true (and the evidence says it is), we are on the verge of being merged with societies of extraterrestials that we know nothing about, even if the military knows something about the equipment that they use. It is past time for the military to come clean and get our sociologists and psychologists to studying these societies. Otherwise, the human race has a disaster in the making.

Positive feedback makes the world a better place

Dennis S. Smith is obviously a strongly opinionated individual. He appears to have images of movies and mainstream media burned in his brain. Dennis does not see and appreciate this 'true art' and it's dedication to illustration accurate accounts of abductions and/or UFO siting experiences. In addition, Dennis seems to have no idea as to the time it takes to revise these renderings to accuracy. If he was able look deeper into the images, he would have appreciated the feelings that is evoked out of the artwork. I absolutely do not agree with his opinion about the illustrations. They are sensatively done and offer the book meaningful and accurate examples of the stories behind them. They are truly haunting without any commerical influence what so ever. It is a breath of fresh air to see something so uniquely done. Kesara is an experienced artist. The History Channel do not agree with Dennis either. Her illustrations are regularly seen on UFO programming on this station.

Art work in UFOs Over Califoriia

In the twenty years that I have worked as an artist I have never received such a humble oppinion of my work. I have worked with investigators, abductees, and experiencers and not one of them had a negative oppinion of the work I did for them. Yet I respect the veiws of our readers. Thank you for your expert and humble oppinion. I have over two hundred illustrations based on actual events. The history of these illustrations are extrodinary and each one very unique in that they translate themselves through the discription of the experience. I have watched the person who has been through the experience cry, turn white and nearly pass out when I drew a sketch of their discribed experience, simular to a police sketch artist. In some ways the picture seems to provide theraputic outlet for the person. I have seen many people relate to the illustrations drawn telling me about their personal stories. The artwork act as a trigger for other experiencers hiding their event afraid to share with others, afraid of ridicule. I just wanted others to know that read these reveiws that these pictures have a history and deep meaning for those I have drawn for. Thank you Kesara

Preston Dennett's Masterpiece

UFO's Over California is Preston Dennett's most comprehensive work in the field of UFOlogy to date. While his previous books on this subject focused on one aspect of the subject matter, his latest covers all grounds. From UFO sighting to abductions, extraterrestrial healings to the contactee movement, UFO landings to crashes, celebrity craft sightings to alien implants; everything you need to know about UFOlogy is covered here. Again, Preston presents the material in a non-biased format; he neither preaches nor debunks; you are given the facts of the situations at hand and left to conjure your own conclusions. Two of the highlights here are the California Airship Mystery and the Battle of Los Angeles, a tremendous UFO encounter during World War II in which the military actually fired upon the craft and in which photographs were published in newspapers at the time. The fact that this monumental event remains obscure boggles the mind, but thankfully Preston presents it in this magnificent volume in full detail. Along with One in Forty: The UFO Epidemic, Extraterrestial Visitations, UFO Healings, California ghosts, Out Of Body Exploring, and UFO's Over Topanga Canyon, UFO's Over California solidifies Preston Dennett's position as one of the most prominent researchers in the field of both UFOlogy and the paranormal.
