Listen, it’s complic­ated! According to Kerner, the Grey Aliens are “sophisti­cated biological robots created by an extraterrestrial civilisation they have long since outlived”. If that appeals to you, then you’ll love this book with its convoluted theory, pseudo-science and New Age (rhymes with ‘sewage’) platitudes. If, however, you like your ufology to consist of robust theory leavened with checkable fact, then you’d best steer clear.

It’s a conundrum: ufology wouldn’t be what it is without books of this level of vapidity; but if the subject strives for mainstream acceptance, then books such as Kerner’s are doing it no favours at all.
