Author Richard Thompson in his book Alien Identities shows that the answers may lie in the records of an agent civilization with thousands of years of contacts with extra terrestrial races. Startling parallels between modern UFO accounts and ancient Sanskrit writings of India give fresh insights into the identity and purposes of UFO visitors.

Since 1947, researchers have searched for documents to prove the reality of UFOs. But questions still remain about the origins of the strange craft and the intentions of the beings who pilot them.

The first half of the book deals with published UFO information as well as the scientists who study UFOs. The second half of the book deals with Vedic parallels to UFO phenomena. Three important works in the Vedic tradition of India revealing detail a completely different way of seeing the world and of living in it. This was followed for thousands of years by a highly developed human civilization.

From the viewpoint of modern Indologists, these works range from ninth century A.D. to as early as the fifth or six century B.C. According to native Indian tradition, all three texts date back at least to 3000 B.C.
