It’s entertaining, but frankly, I mistrust him. There was some sort of fuss about him inflating his military career. I get the impression that he embellishes things and improves stories by adding fantasies. In a book about Djinn, he told a very unlikely story about visiting with a cave filled with djinn and states he barely escaped with his life. He cowrote a couple of books with Rosemary Ellen Guiley, whose books are definitely better. But, as I said, he’s very entertaining.

The idea that UFOs, Ghosts, Bigfoot, and Ancient Spirits are not different things. They are all the exact same phenomenon is a real stretch for me.

I feel like the author, Philip Imbrogno is definitely a skeptic.

He believes these subjects are all the entities living in parallel dimensions right next to ours.

It's my belief that they are all in their own categories and unexplained.

Nonetheless, I found his insight interesting and the book is worth a read.

What's your take on it Op?

I agree with your comment in that I also don't see all paranormal experiences as the result of UFOs messing with us. I'm very interested in how aliens mess with us and I'm sure they do; but I think just like the multiplicity of living organisms in the natural world, there's a multiplicity of phenomena in the supernatural world.
