This book is an absolute must for anybody who's curious about unexplained phenomena.A major addition to the field of UFO research.
Using over 150 images, Matthew Hurley takes us on a journey into the past, uncovering hidden details found in many texts and historical artworks. From the cave art of our indigenous ancestors¹, through to the religious art of the Renaissance, we are shown a plenitude of evidence for Œstrange beings', UFOs and other historically recorded 'alien encounters'. In a methodical order and with academic gusto, The Alien Chronicles presents a strong case for the visitation of extraterrestrials throughout known history. At the same time, the book challenges both anthropological and psychological explanations for UFO phenomenon, while presenting a 'portfolio' of paintings and photographs that would have any serious investigator racing back in time - to every continent and every era. This book is nothing short of a major revolution in how we view the world and our history.
