ETs and alien visitors: Who are they? Where do they come from? What can we expect from them?
      Since 1947 researchers have exhaustively documented the reality of the UFO phenomena. Still questions remain about their origins and the intentions of the beings who pilot them. In Alien Identities, Dr. Richard Thompson examines evidence found in the records of an ancient civilization with thousands of years of extraterrestrial contact. Startling parallels between modern UFO accounts and ancient India's Sanskrit writings offer fresh insights into the modern UFO phenomena.

Part One is a comprehensive overview of the whole UFO phenomena with its close encounters, extra-terrestrials (ETs), abductees, contactees, government conspiracy theories, Men in Black, missing time, etc.

Part Two gives extensive examples of fascinating writings from ancient India (Mahabharata, Ramayana, and Puranas) which describe vimanas (Vedic flying machines) with properties similar to modern UFOs and which are piloted by supernatural humanoids with powers akin to the modern ETs.
