Book Description
Bill Tompkins was embedded in the world of secrecy as a teenager, when the Navy took his personal ship models out of a Hollywood department store because they showed the classified locations of the radars and gun emplacements. He was personally present at the "Battle of L.A." when a thousand rounds of ammo were fired at UFOs, and one of the Nordic craft may have selected him to be their rep in the evolving aerospace race. This book is a partial autobiography about his life to the beginning of the 1970s including some of his early work for TRW. Selected by the Navy prior to completing high school to be authorized for research work, he regularly visited classified Naval facilities during WWII until he was discharged in 1946. After working at North American Aviation and Northrop, he was hired by Douglas Aircraft Company in 1950, and when they found out about his involvement in classified work, he was given a job to create design solutions as a draftsman with a peripheral assignment to work in a "think tank". This work was partly controlled by the Navy personnel who used to work for James Forrestal, who was allegedly assassinated because he was going to publicly reveal what he knew about UFOs. Bill Tompkins was asked to conceive sketches of mile-long Naval interplanetary craft designs. Later, as he became involved in the conventional aspects of the Saturn Program that later became the Apollo launch vehicle, his insight to system engineering resulted in his offering some critical suggestions personally to Dr. Wernher von Braun about ensuring more reliable checkout using the missiles in their vertical position and also some very efficient launch control concepts adopted by both NASA and the Air Force. This story is peppered with very personal interactions with his co-workers and secretaries, some of whom the author believes to be Nordic aliens helping the "good guys" here on Earth. Towards the end of this volume of his autobiography, he sketches what he personally saw on TV when Armstrong was landing on the moon. Born in May 1923 but passing in October 2017, Bill Tompkins was one of the few survivors of the "big war", married to the same girl Mary, and was willing to tell his story about what he really did during his aerospace life in the 40s, 50s and 60s that relate to aliens, NASA and secrets that now can be told. This recent printing adds captions to the figures, making them self-explanatory, and includes an index. "Selected by Extraterrestrials, Volume 2" is now available and includes Bill Tompkins later and other memories beyond the scope of this volume.

Selected by Extraterrestrials Volume 2
Author: William Mills Tompkins
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781975944698
Category : Human-alien encounters
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
The first volume of Selected by Extraterrestrials covered the life of Bill Tompkins to about 1970 and did not go deeply into the super-secret briefings he attended with Navy spies reporting what was going on in Nazi Germany from 1942-1945. Volume 2 of his ground-breaking memoirs covers those details and more about his subsequent aerospace career at companies including TRW. Here is a record of everything that Bill Tompkins wrote on his computer about his life until his death in 2017. You can read what Bill was remembering as he typed his recollections over about 15 years. Of special interest is his detailed access to work being done by TRW that is largely still unknown, such as aggressive remote viewing projects with the early Bobby Ray Inman involvement, extensive underground alien and U.S. tunneling systems, and the interesting role TRW played in the content of movies. Bill was in charge of the famous Joe Papp engine development that was one of many non-petroleum energy systems studied by TRW.Bill was entered the world of secrecy as a teenager, when the Navy took his personal ship models out of a Hollywood department store display window because they showed the classified locations of radars and gun emplacements. He was present at the ?Battle of L.A.? when 1430 antiaircraft rounds were fired at UFOs, and he claims one of the Nordic craft selected him to be their rep in the evolving aerospace race. After working at North American Aviation and Northrop, he was hired by Douglas Aircraft Company in 1950, and when they found out about his involvement in classified work, was given a job as a draftsman with a peripheral assignment to work in a ?think tank?. It was controlled by the Navy personnel who used to work for James Forrestal and who developed what probably later became the ?Solar Warden? secret spacecraft system. Volume 2 provides very personal interactions with his co-workers and secretaries, some of whom the he believes were Nordic aliens helping the ?good guys? here on Earth. He sketched six alien craft he personally saw on TV when Armstrong was landing on the Moon. Born in May 1923, Bill Tompkins was one of the few survivors of the ?big war?, married to the same woman Mary, and told his story about what he really did during his aerospace life from the 1940s through 2017 and confirmed the existence of a secret space program today.

Identified Flying Objects
Author: Dr. Michael P. Masters
Publisher: Masters Creative
ISBN: 1733634002
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 373
Book Description
Could “UFOs” and “Aliens” simply be us, but from the future? This provocative new book cautiously examines the premise that extraterrestrials may instead be our distant human descendants, using the anthropological tool of time travel to visit and study us in their own hominin evolutionary past. Dr. Michael P. Masters, a professor of biological anthropology specializing in human evolutionary anatomy, archaeology, and biomedicine, explores how the persistence of long-term biological and cultural trends in human evolution may ultimately result in us becoming the ones piloting these disc-shaped craft, which are likely the very devices that allow our future progeny to venture backward across the landscape of time. Moreover, these extratempestrials are ubiquitously described as bipedal, large-brained, hairless, human-like beings, who communicate with us in our own languages, and who possess technology advanced beyond, but clearly built upon, our own. These accounts, coupled with a thorough understanding of the past and modern human condition, point to the continuation of established biological and cultural trends here on Earth, long into the distant human future.

Civilizations Beyond Earth
Author: Douglas A. Vakoch
Publisher: Berghahn Books
ISBN: 0857452126
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Astronomers around the world are pointing their telescopes toward the heavens, searching for signs of intelligent life. If they make contact with an advanced alien civilization, how will humankind respond? In thinking about first contact, the contributors to this volume present new empirical and theoretical research on the societal dimensions of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). Archaeologists and astronomers explore the likelihood that extraterrestrial intelligence exists, using scientific insights to estimate such elusive factors as the longevity of technological societies. Sociologists present the latest findings of novel surveys, tapping into the public's attitudes about life beyond Earth to show how religion and education influence beliefs about extraterrestrials. Scholars from such diverse disciplines as mathematics, chemistry, journalism, and religious studies offer innovative solutions for bridging the cultural gap between human and extraterrestrial civilizations, while recognizing the tremendous challenges of communicating at interstellar distances. At a time when new planets are being discovered around other stars at an unprecedented rate, this collection provides a much needed guide to the human impact of discovering we are not alone in the universe.

Extraterrestrials
Author: E. Regis
Publisher: CUP Archive
ISBN: 9780521348522
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
With current interest in extraterrestrials at a peak, this book is a collection of original and reprinted articles advancing the latest scientific ideas as to the possible existence and nature of extraterrestrial intelligent life. Usually this subject is treated only in popular media, such as science fiction novels, movies, and television. Recently, however, scientists and researchers have begun to consider in earnest whether extraterrestrials really exist, whether they have evolved from simpler forms of life, whether they have evolved intelligence, and if so whether their modes of understanding the world are comparable to and congruent with our own. The contributors to this volume cover these topics, and also consider how we might communicate with aliens, and whether we would be able to understand the alien messages we might receive. Finally the authors, who include distinguished scientists, speculate whether the aliens might have a moral code, and what might be our moral obligations in the event any extraterrestrials were ever discovered.
