Whether you believe or not - you're invited to what promises to be an
extraordinary event.

On Wednesday, May 27th at 4pm, alien abduction proponent Whitley
Strieber will be making an exclusive Bay Area appearance at The
Booksmith in San Francisco. Strieber will be discussing, and signing
copies of, his new book, "Confirmation: The Hard Evidence of Aliens
Among Us" (hardback, $23.95). From the author of the multi-million-copy
bestseller "Communion" comes this new work which presents the first
physical evidence concerning alien presence on Earth.

In "Confirmation," Strieber makes an urgent call for help. Continued
governmental denial, media derision and scientific inaction are a grave
mistake - the author contends. According to Strieber, mankind is
remaining passive in the face of what could be an extraordinary threat -
or a fabulous opportunity.

Unlike his recent books, "Breakthrough" (1995) and "The Secret School"
(1996), Strieber's latest foray into ufology is not so much a personal
quest to understand his own abduction experiences as it is an attempt to
present physical evidence that UFO abductions should be taken seriously.
Along the way, the author offers a firsthand account involving a bizarre
implant in his outer ear that defied an attempt to have it surgically
removed.

"Confirmation" is divided into three sections, covering three areas
of evidence.

"Theater In the Sky" offers powerful evidence that UFO video should
not be ignored, especially the Space Shuttle mission video showing
unknown objects explained away by NASA. It
demonstrates that the work of a NASA aeronautical engineer, Dr. Paul
Hill, de facto proves Project Blue Book was indeed a coverup. It also
discusses the efforts Strieber made, using highly sophisticated
equipment, to gain answers about the amazing close-up UFO
videotaped over Mexico in August of 1997.

"Close Encounter As It Really Is" offers a new picture of the
close encounter experience based on the hundreds of thousands of
letters Strieber has received. If there are aliens here, then an
incredibly
important message is present in these stories. This section ends with a
chapter
on the chilling evidence of secret mind control research that is taking
place behind the closed doors of the intelligence community.

"Hard Evidence," discusses the efforts of Strieber and the Communion
Foundation to gain evidence of implants, the pioneering work of Dr.
Roger Leir, and - for the first time anywhere - the analysis of implants

done by scientists using world-class equipment that resulted in
a finding that one of these objects has unknown properties that
suggest it is a piece of technology.

The book ends with an amazing interview with Monsignor Corrado
Balducci of the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith in the
Vatican. Msgr. Balducci discusses his personal opinions about
extraterrestrials and offers an astonishing new religious perspective.

Perhaps the time is right for a new scientific assessment -- in October
1997, a panel of nine scientists released a statement that "some UFO
evidence may be worthy of scientific investigation." "Confirmation" may
be the first step toward the new millenium.
