Ryan Wood and Entangled Minds’ Dean Radin both express an impatience with a certain inertia of human nature quite entrenched in the scientific community a resistance to change which seems to flout the very point of scientific investigation. Both Majic Eyes Only and Entangled Minds address a confounding topic that defies convention and the supremacy of human culture and intelligence as presently manifest. Each author spends substantial copy space describing the tendency for scientific entities to resist, filter, ridicule or suppress that which challenges the status quo, shakes the foundations of what is thought to be known safely. This even though it has been repeatedly demonstrated that what we don’t know always proves to far exceed what we do, and that it is from the uncharted darkness around the firelight of what we do know that the most rich discoveries and technological advancements of this civilization are usually mined. Wood attributes this with regard to UFOlogy to a protectiveness of credibility. Along these lines, perhaps, he does not address the full range of extraterrestrial sightings and abduction reports. The book jacket summarizes: MAJIC EYES ONLY is a landmark synthesis and review of every credible UFO crash retrieval event uncovered worldwide to date. Using documents leaked, declassified and liberated via the Freedom of Information Act, as well as eye-witness testimony and other carefully assessed evidence, he has detailed over 70 incidents in short chronologically progressing chapters, beginning with the first in 1897 (you read that right) in Texas, over forty years before Roswell. Each entry is ranked for credibility using criteria he explains early on. I confess this didn't always jibe with my own sense of certain stories, which read clumsy and implausible. However, considering the topic and his long-term immersion in it, which can lend bias, his focus seems clear, and the accounts and analysis seem to downplay hysteria, romanticism and sensationalism. These are hardly necessary! The content is eerie, and the amount of it compelling enough as it is. Review by by Michou Landon, Mount Shasta Magazine
"Wood recognizes that the end of the so-called cosmic Watergate will only occur when unequivocal evidence of the physical reality of the flying saucer or its alien occupants is obtained. So he orients his book to the nuts and bolts of the UFO phenomena. And it is that pursuit that animates this quest. He has provided the next best thing, documents, both those with certified provenance and those that satisfy the most comprehensive analysis available. When the smirking skeptic fails in his claims of fraudulence the proponent of the claim wins and the proof is established. Wood's strict adherence to analytic criteria results in the only proof presently available." "This book presupposes that the reader is grounded in the legend and the lore of the UFO phenomena. I think Wood would agree with Stanton Friedman, who coined the phrase: 'UFOs are simple hardware from elsewhere.' Science with a capital S is not the only venue to establish proof of fact. The law, which increasing touches every aspect of life, also provides a vehicle. Thorough the legal maxim that 'the soul of the law is reason,' has evolved a structure called the best-evidence rule, which requires the proponent of the original document to produce that very document if it is accessible. But such a rule doesn't require foolish activity or frustrate a bono fide pursuit. If an original is not available a copy will do. The criteria set out to authenticate the copy then must be stringent and comprehensive. Wood has satisfied the tests established. He has proved his document claims. That doesn't mean that he is necessarily correct, only that the burden has shifted to the skeptic."
MAJIC EYES ONLY: Earth's Encounters with Extraterrestrial Technology - by Ryan S. Wood Here we have a surprise book that dashes the simple idea that the publicized Roswell "crash" was a rare event. This hardback book takes advantage of some photo pages to provide full color examples of "leaked documents" that support the evidence of testimony of multiples recoveries of downed unidentified objects. Ryan Wood has leveraged the results of his leadership in presenting three "UFO Crash Retrieval" conferences in the last three years. It is a fascinating set of 75 reports of recovery or downing of possible extraterrestrial craft, chronologically arranged since 1897. The reports are actually quite conservative, not claiming more than where the evidence goes. Some have been investigated in great detail and others are short reports of high credibility that cry out for more investigation. Why would advanced civilizations send such imperfect vehicles that they would crash? Evident in the reports is the possibility that we used some of our weaponry to shoot them down in order to capture the craft and assess the advanced technology they certainly represented. For example, proximity fuses for anti-aircraft shell were being developed at roughly the time of the Roswell 1947 events. Fortunately, the author has included some of the original leaked documents for the reader to evaluate himself, such as the April 1954 era Special Operations Manual, "Extraterrestrial Entities and Technology, Recovery and Disposal," with the first mention of Area 51 S-4. Mr. Wood has taken the trouble to provide a helpful index for those researchers who want to dig deeper into cross-references. Typographical errors are few if any, promoting confidence in the carefulness of the reporting. Each little chapter has its own references - very helpful. Two negative attributes might be the price of $29.95 and the absence of a current speculation of what is going on today; but these are offset by the fact that it is hardback, has a good photos section, is extremely readable, and is a stunning, comprehensive testimonial to the certain presence of multiple recoveries of downed flying saucers. It has a nice cover design, would look good on your coffee table. Buy it now. Your totally objective book reviewer, Dr. Bob Wood, father of the author
