We are not alone, and we have never been alone in the Universe.  This is the fundamental basis for author and researcher Kristy Shanahan’s chronological and expertly referenced book, Glimpses Into Other Worlds. The subtitle is more descriptive, Extraterrestrials from Outer Space, Ultraterrestrials of Other Dimensions, and the Inner Realm of the Soul or Consciousness, bringing in the historical-to-present-day status of research, disclosure and discoveries, all being held top secret by governments as well as that which is revealed to the public.

Beginning logically with the ancient evidence of extraterrestrials, aliens from other planets coming to Earth and taking God-like status among early humans in cultures and primitive writings around the world, are defined and displayed with many illustrations and historical summaries.  Conforming to Biblical scriptures citing Elijah and Enoch, as well as the ancient Hebrew prophet Ezekiel who saw four wheels in the middle of a wheel suggesting an early sky chariot throne (UFO?). Glimpses continue to bring up Hindu Creation, The Cosmic Egg; The Anunnaki from Ancient Sumerian texts, much of which has been deciphered by Zecharia Sitchin; to Susano’o of Japanese mythology who slayed the dragon; and so much more.

Moving on to more ‘modern’ ufology, Glimpses brings in the Roswell New Mexico incident in 1947, which is generally accepted as the beginning of governmental secrecy dichotomizing the public from military and scientific alien encounters, both with biological ET’s and reverse-engineering advanced technology in flying saucers.  On pages throughout this section, scores of illustrations and summary spreadsheets highlight much of the research which went into this book, such as (my favorite) a listing of the various ET life-forms, along with their physical description, disposition of mission, origin from star charts, and other facts.  These include the Arcturians from thee Arcturus Star System who are “Experts in the use of geometry, color, and sound vibrations to alter time, space, atmosphere, and states of being Alchemists, architects, builders, and healers They enjoy using their substantial talents for good in the universe and enjoy being appreciated for it^.” 

The other species include the Reptilians which come from plantes Draco and Orion which are capable of shapeshifting; Avians who are bird-like aliens in many varieties originally from another universe; Grays from the Zeta Reticulin Star System who possess high mental functioning including telepathic communication and telekinetic powers, although emotionally ‘stunted.’ And so many others, reinforcing the diversity of other NHI (Non-Human Intelligences).  Star maps showing the origins of these alien species with the inclusion of Ultraterrestrials – those who come from other dimensions – become a foundation of the belief system to readers’ mind-opening factoids which connect-the-dots to current ufology.

The final chapter is truly another magnificent deep-dive into the least understood scientifically and medically but becoming the frontier of theoretical physics and quantum mechanics; that of consciousness.  What the take-away is from this section is the emergence of the link between biological life and spirit-being – are subcellular particles named microtubules, a place where energy is stored in all living cells.

For brevity in this review, I have skipped so much information as each page of Glimpses Into Other Worlds can guide readers into more-depth reading due to the herculean effort Kristy Shanahan has done with precise footnotes revealing her sourced material.  This book can be thought of as an encyclopedia of the many tangents of thought which will bring to readers an excellent introduction to those just getting into ufology, as well as a refresher to those who are involved in this field of study.  As a full disclosure (no pun intended) I have been amassing thousands of hours of my own research including books, seminars, and conferences over the past decade into these topics discussed and can appreciate the work Kristy Shanahan has done presenting each illustration and photograph along with a clear description of each topic.  Although we are not alone with alien life throughout the universe, we also are not alone with other people of similar mindsets understanding the nuances of alien interactions.

This book prepares you to question what you thought you knew and awaken to what might be waiting just beyond your perception.  Glimpses Into Other Worlds is essential reading for anyone interested in the mysteries of the cosmos and consciousness.
