Good, Timothy. Above Top Secret: The Worldwide UFO Cover-Up. With a foreword by the former Chief of Defense Staff, Lord Hill-Norton, G.C.B. New York: Morrow (Quill), 1988. First published in Great Britain in 1987 by Sidgwick and Jackson. 592 pages.

It wasn't that long ago that anyone who claimed to have seen a "flying saucer" was dismissed as loony or at least unreliable. But with increasing reports of UFO sightings and related phenomena, this is rapidly changing. This book shows that government officials -- particularly the U.S. military and science advisors with security clearances above Top Secret -- have formed various study groups over the years while denying their ongoing interest in the phenomenon. However, cracks in the official edifice have appeared. Since even mass-market U.S. television documentaries are now taking UFOs seriously, we can expect to hear much more on this in coming years.

Timothy Good is a professional violinist and amateur UFO enthusiast. Half of his book is a review of UFO sightings in various countries and the reactions of their governments. For the sake of credibility, he deals only with sightings and not with closer encounters such as alleged abductions. The other half deals specifically with the U.S. government: CIA, NSA, NASA, and DIA. A 106-page appendix prints a variety of documents and reports, both classified and declassified, from various governments.
