Parallels: Ancient Insights into Modern UFO Phenomena (1993)
For decades, researchers have documented modern UFO phenomena that raise questions about the origins of these strange objects and the intentions of beings associated with them. In Parallels, Richard L. Thompson suggests that answers may lie in the records of ancient civilizations claiming thousands of years of contact with entitiies that appear to have an unearthly origin. Startling parallels between modern UFO accounts and events described in the ancient Sanskrit writings of India offer fresh insight into the nature of exotic incidents reported throughout human history.
As described by the author: "There are many parallels between specific details in Vedic accounts of the behavior and powers of humanlike races that use flying machines and corresponding details in UFO close-encounter cases. These parallels provide my main impetus for writing this book." Roger W. Wescott, Professor of Anthropology and Linguistics at Drew University, considered Thompson's work "carefully researched and well written," and that it offered "a major addition to ufological literature."
PUBLISHER’S NOTE: This book was originally published as Alien Identities: Ancient Insights into Modern UFO Phenomena, Second Edition. The new title, Parallels, reflects the author’s original choice.
