Publisher's summary

The US government UAP Report of the summer of 2021 marks a turning point in the modern history of close encounters - but not for the reasons that most people think. The UAP Report is not the first step toward some future full "disclosure" regarding UFOs and related phenomena. Rather, it is a milestone in a long-term plan to subjugate everyone on this planet to a tyrannically totalitarian regime. Taking as its point of departure this monstrous Pentagon lie, and the broader question of the relationship between UFOs and state sovereignty, this book examines every aspect of the complex close encounter phenomenon through all of human history.

There are seven extant interpretive frameworks for close encounters: the Extra-Terrestrial Hypothesis (ETH), the Breakaway Civilization Hypothesis, the Inter-Dimensional Hypothesis, the Time Traveler Hypothesis, the Parapsychological (or Ultra-Terrestrial) Hypothesis, the Atlantean Survivors (or Crypto-Terrestrial) Hypothesis, and the Simulation Avatars Hypothesis. This study shows how these hypotheses are not mutually exclusive alternatives. All of them are facets of a single, much more complex reality that has fundamentally defined the human condition on a fifth-dimensional level.

This reality is terrifying. It will never be revealed by any government on the planet, or acknowledged by the scientific establishment, and its disclosure would destroy every existing religious and social institution. In fact, humanity cannot survive the disclosure of what is detailed in this book. Rather, this profound philosophical analysis of close encounters demonstrates that the true nature of the phenomenon has to do with the cosmic force of evolution challenging us to overcome the limits of what has defined humanity for at least 250 million years - since our civilization on Mars was destroyed.

Very intense!

This is an extremely thorough, very up to date summary of about 75 years of UFO literature. He goes all in on even the most fringe aspects but maintains the cool calmness of a guide navigating difficult terrain. This might be too much for beginners, but for those who want to delve deep, this is the way.

Good job CIA 🤣🤣🤣

I absolutely have and love all of Reza’s titles, it feels as if it was a very advanced being or AI putting all of the intel together. Similar to S.T Thomas Summa, Schopenhauer’s Collections, or Albert Pike. Not even Pinker seems relevant after one gets exposed to this, regardless of how all of it was produced and or compiled, I’m having a blast going through them multiple times, who knows, maybe was chat GPT, don’t care.

Life is Deeper than We Know. It may be more “frightening”. It may just be “normal”

I never write reviews, but this book is not for the faint of heart or for people who enjoy their world view staying sane(compliment, not negative). We all know the world in which we live is so much deeper than our five senses. I say that as an atheist . This author pieces together many parts of the strange, real, wonderful aspects of our existence. But empathetically acknowledges the pain and suffering of the entire world. We all know existence is suffering, yet we know on our death bends we would do it all over again.

I honestly am amazed at the amount of proper philosophies and history of the entire world that this author interweaves. The narrator does go “fast” but for me was at a perfect pace to keep the amazing and HUGE amount of exciting info coming. This book should be on everyone’s radar, no matter what your background is into the mysterious/emotional happiness or pain. You will have many chances as a reader to decide if info or opinion is true. The conclusion weaves the book together in a beautiful tapestry that is colorful and brilliant that satisfied me with a possible way to look at our current reality in this current time. Knowledge is power. And everyone who TRULY searches for truth will find that the truth is always in between.

The Real Disclosure

Jorjani has given us the truth. The truth that the government was to weak to disclose. Hail Prometheus! Hail Promethea! Hail Victory!

Kindling for a warrior spirit

A fabulous dissection and deconstruction of history as related to phenomena for which the reconstruction presents a coherent framework for humanity’s path toward a new epoch… prepare to have your mind expanded.

Mind blowing ! I will never see an owl the same

This book was a bit of a struggle , but worth the effort and at the end left me confused to my role towards the future of humanity. I will hope that man proves we are worthy of respect and we too should be feared as we hold secrets all our own....beware to any Trickster that underestimates us.

The Grand Unified Theory of UFO Phenomena

This book broke through the glass ceiling and golden parachuted on down, to quote the song 'Burning Beard' by the band Clutch. Dr. Jorjani's work here is not only an unbelievably thorough compilation of historical UFO cases and experiences, but it also manages to be more imaginative and thought-provoking than any single modern perspective I have encountered. His thought processes and nuanced views as a philosopher seem to enable him to appreciate the phenomena from a higher vantange than that offered by hyper-specialized academics, such as physicists or astronomers.
The UFO matter is approached from so many different angles as to leave the reader dizzy, and in need of a diligent reread with notepad and pen handy. The amount of information alone that is presented is damn remarkable. Anyone that is slightly interested in this topic will hardly make it a few paragraphs without being routinely bombarded by fascination after fascination.
Jorjani's insights are delivered through wonderfully dense amalgams of historical records and context, governmental pessimisms, eyewitness accounts, scientific rigor, logical deduction, and a splash of imaginative speculation. The end result is that the conclusions, though perhaps not provably accurate, seem logical and plausible. And sometimes damn terrifying.
From ancient accounts of strange happenings in the skies to analyses and extrapolations of ideas set forth by prior academics and researchers, from the UFO crash at Roswell to the governmental "disclosure" and whistleblowers' congressional testimony, from J.P. Morgan and Nikola Tesla to black budgets and zero-point energy, the nuclear bomb, Atlantis, pop culture, folklore, mutilations, abductions, terraforming, high strangeness, Missing 411, the technological singularity and beyond....this book is one hell of a trip.
I have encountered this book three times from end to end and plan to revisit it again. It is the UFO equivalent of The Immortality Key by Brian Muraresku or Magicians of the Gods by Graham Hancock. I sincerely recommend this to anyone with a moderate to high interest in the subject and truly believe, though he is not a ufologist, that Jorjani's efforts here should be placed right alongside Jacques Vallee and John Keel on the shelf.
Although it doesn't quite qualify as awful, the audiobook narration isn't on par with the book's quality. It was frustratingly monotone and the reader seemed to rush a bit at all times. I found it helpful to slow it to 0.8-0.9x speed.
Finally, as a native Mississippian, I was both pleasantly surprised and delighted to find that the author included in the book the account of the 1973 Pascagoula, Mississippi alien abduction. What a treat. Cheers.

The most important book of our time! A must listen!!

Jason Reza Jorjani is amazing, perhaps prophetic! My mind was continually blown for the bulk of the book. If you have any interest in the subject of UFOs you’ll be impressed.

Dr Jorjan provides lots of great information.

I have been listening to Dr. Jorjani for a few years now and am thoroughly impressed with his knowledge and philosophical prowess. The fact that he was the target of a smear campaign goes to show the people in charge don't want the peasants to have this information or to be aware. I hope audible will upload all of his books in the future. I appreciate him and his work. Thank you.

Writing GREAT, Narrator sounds stoned, slurs

I can't give a higher rating for the story, information and organisation of this book, however, the narrator is muddled, rushed and difficult to understand. For this reason, I'm ordering the print books.

The narrator is awful!
