I, myself, have never had an alien encounter with someone from outer space. The author of this book claims to have experienced it. I am an avid sci-fi fan and reader and have been since I was a kid, just as Bench, the author, has been. Bench, with a background in engineering, could have solid knowledge of a technical nature regarding machines and mechanical equipment. And also a fantastical mind for creating a good alien story. Whether this story is true or not, it certainly weaves up a good yarn with specifics to boot. Why, don’t we all know the loner engineer, who loves all things sci-fi, believes in aliens (but doesn’t really want anyone else to know; family would think you were crazy if you ever confessed). Bench keeps his encounter to himself except for the time he has to tell his wife who thinks he is crazy upon his confession. The best part is the ending…….

I could not put this book down. Stewart Bench has written a very readable and well written story of his interactions with Aliens. While reading this I kept thinking back to the tic tack and the other huge amount of attention ufos are getting in the news now. To think his experiences started in the nineties was sobering. How long have these beings been involved with our lives?
There is a lot of mystery to his story. Especially the part where he describes a trunk his Grandpa had that was off limits to the family. What he saw in that trunk drives this story in an honest and plausible way. I have many questions after reading this book and I hope he writes more about what he feels is the reason for their interest in our lives here and what they have planned for humanity. To think these things can come into our lives and have done so for a long time is sobering. The book has some answers but more questions arise for me anyway that haven't been discussed. But then all honest books are just experiences and ideas of the author as this one is. I hope a movie is made of this book because it is that good! Fantastic and honest account of the unbelievable finally written and shared. Thank you Stewart.

This was an interesting and fairly quick read. The author has a good sense of humor while detailing multiple encounters with aliens. The descriptions of the experiences, interactions, and technology made this an enjoyable and vivid read.
