Description

Timothy’s talk will be based on his latest book, Need to Know: UFOs, the Military and Intelligence, first published last year by Sidgwick & Jackson. The updated paperback is due for publication by Pan on 06 July 2007. As his publisher writes:-

“Need to Know is a compelling expose of top-secret documents, interviews with key witnesses and discussions with military and intelligence specialists, pilots, politicians and scientists. It is full of revelations, including the alarmingly high number of aircraft crashes following military attacks on UFOs; the disappearance of hundreds of military and civilian aircraft during UFO encounters; and the amazing information provided by a surgeon who operated on an alien captured by the Brazilian army in 1996 . . . Need to Know proves that UFOs are a real and current problem facing governments worldwide.”

Timothy Good is widely regarded as one of the world’s leading experts on UFOs and alien phenomena. He has lectured at the Royal Canadian Military Institute, the Royal Naval Air Station Portland, and has been invited for discussions at the Pentagon’s Defense Airborne Reconnaissance Office and at the headquarters of the French Air Force. He has also acted as consultant for several US Congress investigations.

Good’s first book, Above Top Secret (Sidgwick & Jackson, 1987), became a best-seller and is widely regarded as the definitive book on the subject, together with the fully revised and updated book replacing it, Beyond Top Secret (Sidgwick & Jackson, 1996), which remained for five weeks on the Sunday Times bestseller list. Alien Liaison (Century, 1991) spent 13 weeks on the same bestseller list. Alien Base (Century, 1998) and Unearthly Disclosure (Century, 2000), followed. Four of these books have forewords by Admiral of the Fleet The Lord Hill-Norton, former Chief of the Defence Staff. Good has also edited four books on the subject, including the best-selling Alien Update (Arrow, 1993).

Timothy is also a professional freelance violinist, and was a member of the London Symphony Orchestra for 14 years and has played with all London’s major orchestras. Nowadays, he freelances for concerts, and occasionally for feature films, commercials, and recordings with pop musicians.
