I think you dismiss it too casually. I got it from the library in order to pooh-pooh it myself. But when one reads it with even a modicum of willingness to consider whether there is a faint possibility that something in there might be true, even the limited bit I skimmed makes a surprisingly strong case which I think deserves to be answered seriously. The responses I have seen to it are all "oh, what nonsense" with no attempt to refute the cases they present or show why their arguments don't stand up. It reminds me a bit of the responses to Galileo, etc., whose theories contradicted the established wisdom and threatened a sacred cow of science. I think if you spend a few hours with it with even a slightly open mind you will come away more pensive than you started. And no, I do not believe in UFOs, or Area 57 (or whatever it is), etc.
