Richard Syrett expresses his confusion in the very beginning of this interview as to how Preston gets so many exclusive abductee stories. Dennet's explanation is that he has a website. Mmmkay then...

Far fetched and unrealistic sounding. Ogatta
Interesting reports, bad conclusions on Dennett's part Skyview
25 accounts of UFO contact, in nearly every one the teller says it wasn't a weather balloon, not one of ours etc, it seems they were coached, not everyone would say the same, I am waiting for something provable and different
It doesn't change my opinions, yes I do believe there is something out there, what about the hollow Earth theory, UFO's are being seen around nukes, what if its their planet as well as ours
I've studied UFO phenomena for over 50 years and consider myself pretty well versed on the subject. I take it seriously and therefore feel duty-bound to ferret out fraud and deception.
I have a number of reasons why this book casts doubt on the legitimacy it claims.
In the first place, the tone of it reminds me of, for example, phony psychics who are good at guessing or discovering information and passing it off as legitimate psychic perception.
Dolly's supposed experiences are so fantastical and so outlandish and so far fetched that they come off as the creation of imagination. Such extraordinary claims demand some pretty strong evidence. That evidence is sorely lacking in this book making feel like nothing more that a flight of fantasy.
Understand that I'm not saying these things couldn't possibly have happened, but I am saying it seems entirely unlikely based on any real evidence.
Of the tens of thousands of alien encounters, is it logical to believe that Dolly is the one person on earth whose experiences are so infinely greater than anyone else has ever had or could even imagine, or is it more logical to believe it to be a product of her imagination? Furthermore, she seems flippant and self absorbed more than she seems sincere about enlightening us.
It is claimed that there is evidence for these experiences but the author fails to provide it. Instead, there are a few really poor photographs, the type that can be found all over the internet with a simple Google search. And that search will provide many hundreds of FAR better pictures for that matter.
The claim of implants is supported by a picture of Dolly's hand purportedly showing where an implant had been. That is not evidence, it's a meaningless picture of a hand. For a book to make the claims it did, you'd think the author would have insisted on a photo of the implant and an affidavit from a surgeon, testifying that he did indeed remove it from that hand.
There are also a number of pictures of Dolly as a child paired with remarks about what she supposedly was experiencing at that age. Again, it's not evidence, it's family photos. Here's an example: in one photo Dolly is a baby in a crib with her leg sticking out between the rungs. The accompanying statement is that she was trying to prevent herself from being taken. This is laughable as it is a normal and common occurrence for many babies in cribs to stick a leg out. I'm reminded of bold headlines in grocery store rags about UFO landings and claiming photographic proof. You open to the article and there's some guy pointing to a field where he SAYS a UFO landed. And maybe it did, but that's not even a shred of evidence.
And finally, when I mentioned to the author that most of the book is nothing but hearsay, he told me about all the evidence that supposedly exists, but provided none.
Following this, Dolly, in her own defense, got into the act and sent me a couple photos and a video via Facebook. Now, wouldn't you think that if someone wanted to defend themselves, they'd provide some kind of strong support for their position? That's why I thought. But alas, the photos and videos were nothing you couldn't see every day on YouTube where these barely compare to the average bad, blurry, unclear content there. Far superior pics and videos are available through many sources. Try MUFON, Third Phase of Moon, Secure Team Ten or even the History Channel.
With no substantive evidence to back up the claims, this book may be a fun read for some but will be a disappointment to those who take the subject seriously.
I've read several books by this author and I respect his reporting, but in that vein, this book was a disappointment and I would only recommend it to those who buy grocery store rags for entertainment.
You've got to be kidding me. Having been interested in the subject of UFO's on and off, I though I'd take a look at some of these abduction stories. Now this one is probably the most far fetched one I ever read.
Let me tell you all just a few things I found a bit odd.
#1
Nobody is taken unless they consent to. Really, then why would you take people while they are sleeping , beam them up on a ship, undress them and probe every orifice , and then if they wake up angry, you have this person who is trained in martial arts to settle them down? Uh, no. I don't call that consensual.
#2 Why don' t they with all their superior technology, call me on the phone, and ask if I'd like an examination or would I care to donate some seed or other tissue? After all according to this book, they can call on a cell phone if they choose.
#3 They say they respect our autonomy. Really? Look up the word (autonomy) in the dictionary. 1) The right of self government. 2) :self directing freedom and especially moral independence.
I don't need anybody from some other planet telling me they respect my autonomy, then zapping me paralyzed and beamed up in a space ship whether I like it or not, especially because they claim that being so advanced they have lost the ability to reproduce. And it is for my own good. Whatever it is they find so backwards about us, at least we can reproduce. They claim to be our brothers and then got so far out there ahead of us that now they're dying out? Well, guess what? We may be quite willing to help you out, but why don't you politely ask first, instead of abducting people without their consent? Well folks, there's just no nice way to say BALONEY! Of course, I could use a few other choice words, but I won't for the reader's sake. And another thing, what about all these people who have gone missing for no possible reason and have never been seen again? If you are behind that, you are are only going to draw people's ire, not their support. I got news for you. Peculiar, you should know that. Let me tell you something. You claim stop pollution, stop the wars. Well with the population we have on this planet stopping pollution is easier said than done. If you can go back in history, why don't you tell me what happened to Mr. Tesla, who had a very good idea about that? And as for wars, you people are going to start one by abducting people without their consent, don't you think? Personally, I don't think we're alone in the universe and I don't have any beef with any alien race who wants to do business in a fair fashion. But if you want to do business with us earthlings, why don't you use a little more finesse? Looks to me according to this book, you're kind of like a bull in a china shop. Now if you have helped people, I'm sure you have their thanks. But ask first, ok? Ok.
Disappointing glenn stewart
UFOs are real and I believe intelligent beings do control them. Two way communiaction with these beings would be so valuable. I was hoping for one gem in this book indicating that technically advanced beings had passed on knowledge but there was nothing. It felt like some one with minimal understanding of science writing a fictional account of the experiences they would have liked to have had.
Not believable! wiscmike
First off, I have read at least three of Preston's books and thoroughly enjoyed each of them. This book however really misses the mark. I had to give up after the Ramon story (tale/fantasy...I'm not sure what). Okay, abductions I can believe but here we have (spoiler alert) a kid under 10 yrs old who is levitating to the roof of a house (building) and the fire department is called. Uhm...wouldn't there be some way to validate the story since an official government agency (fire department) was involved and there might be records to review. And apparently it happened multiple times (the on the roof part). Or, since the same types of abductions happened to Ramon's cousins, maybe if would have been a good idea for the author to verify/corroborate Ramon's recollections - but nope. It just gets weirder after that. No investigation from the author, just a "tell me your story" and I'll print it. Just because someone says something happened does NOT mean that it's true. When dealing with fantastical stories, and alien abductions can be considered as such, there HAS to be some evidence and not just someone who says, "It happened to me." Either the person is an attention seeker or scam artist (we see plenty of those), delusional, misread what actually occurred (something happened but there is a more, rational, earth-bound explanation) or the event actually occurred as stated. I don't know if Ramon's tale is true but there has to be some critical thinking applied when dealing with such incredible stories, but sadly there is none here. I will still be looking for future books from Preston but will limit it to those where he does some actual investigation.Meh. DST
Funny how every interview is in the same voice. I was hoping for some cool encounters, instead I believe I got something from the writer's imagination.
It is good to have these compilations of reports we would not see otherwise, but the author, Preston Dennett, made a point of telling us that he is sure these lying, paralyzing, abducting entities are harmless do-gooders. What? I don't know if Dennett has done this in his other books, but be wary of his attempts at brainwashing. Whatever these "alien" forces really are, the human victims' fear reactions are no doubt a clue. Don't be sheep. Dennett insists on using terms such as "physical examinations" and "medical examinations" for what is clearly reported rape and theft. This guy seems to be in service to these awful forces.
