Alone in the Universe… Or, are we?
Redfern Documents a History of Alien Encounters

“Redfern has a solid reputation as a leading researcher and author of all things paranormal. He can present the facts, write the books, and speak across the globe with the best of them. One thing he does better than all the rest is get out there in the field, get his hands dirty, and actually look for the very things he writes about.”

—MARIE D. JONES, author of PSIence: How New Discoveries in Quantum Physics and New Science May Explain the Existence of Paranormal Phenomena

San Francisco, CA (November 19, 2009) –– We are not alone on our planet, according to noted paranormal author/expert and self-described “monster hunter,” Nick Redfern.

His new book, Contactees: A History of Alien-Human Interaction, is a collection of hair-raising eyewitness accounts by people chosen by ETs to spread their message. For instance, Truman Bethurum was divorced by his wife because she believed he had close encounters of a very personal kind with a beautiful ET “space captain.”

Was Bethurum nuts, or just prescient? Was this experience an omen? Do aliens really move among us? Contactees presents new and incontrovertible evidence that they do.

Earthlings told their tales of alien encounters to Redfern, and he dug up and researched many more. A page-turner, Contactees: A History of Alien-Human Interaction relates the controversial and sometimes bizarre stories in the author’s typical riveting, entertaining and thought-provoking style.

Redfern is a popular author, media guest and journalist who specializes in unsolved mysteries, UFOs and ETs, Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, government conspiracies, and the paranormal.

His previous bestsellers include Memoirs of a Monster Hunter; Strange Secrets; A Covert Agenda; and There’s Something in the Woods. Among his many notorious exploits, Redfern has investigated reports of aliens in Mexico, lake monsters in Scotland, vampires in Puerto Rico, werewolves in England, and crashed UFOs in the United States.

An advocate of official disclosure, he has worked to uncover previously classified British government and military files on UFOs dating from WWII.

COMMENTS ON CONTACTEES

"Nick Redfern, the Brit with a knack for ferreting out all the dope on outrageous subjects, presents a revealing look at alien contact." Best-selling author of Alien Agenda, Jim Marrs.

"Nick Redfern, author of a wide variety of UFO books from the serious to the popular, has taken the bull by the horns and produced the, so far, definitive book on the subject." Andy Roberts, author of Albion Dreaming.

"...The disturbing fact, according to Redfern, is that a common thread tends to lead to the same, surprising conclusion in the bulk of cases. We are not alone, he posits, but the "others" are not necessarily from Venus or the Pleiades. Where they do originate, and what it is that they want, I will leave to Redfern's eloquent explanation." Linda Godfrey, author of Hunting the American Werewolf and The Beast of Bray Road.

"...Contactees outlines a peculiar subculture that remains present in the fringes of Americana, and though well known to some, it has received its best treatment thanks to the efforts of Redfern." Micah Hanks, The Gralien Report.

"...A book that I couldn’t set aside. Nick Redfern provides relevant information and pertinent minutiae about those now considered to be part of the UFO fringe." Adrian Wells, The UFO Iconoclasts.

'In this newly published work, Redfern gets down into the trenches to examine the band of eerily human-looking blond-haired visitors who early on expressed their concern about our warlike ways..." Timothy Green Beckley, Bizarre Bazaar.

"...what we really like is that many theories are thrown forward but without dogmatic adherence to any particular one. The ET hypothesis is made to sound unlikely, and we strongly agree that it is unlikely. The solution to the mystery is far more complex than that." Jim Moseley, Saucer Smear.

"...Redfern has given this subject a very good treatment and that Contactees is well worth reading." Robin Anderson-Forbes, My Strange Blog.

"Reading these tales, there are a number of reasonable possibilities. They are all clearly the work of the human imagination (or perhaps lack of same), and the only question that remains is whether they came from the spontaneous imagination of dreams, hypnogogic and other visionary experiences; or from the crafted imagination, and in the latter case whether the contactees wanted a powerful imperative for their own religious and political views, or were in it mainly for the money." Peter Rogerson, Magonia.
