No constellation in the night sky has rivaled the Pleiades for its impact upon the mind of man. Artists, poets, scientists, mythographers and prophets alike have not only cited the Pleiades as an inspiration to their work but as a key to understanding mankind and his/her relationship with the creative principles of existence. This book is the incredible story of a man who found himself taken to the Pleiades where he was examined and instructed by intelligent life forms who appeared human. The Pleiadians proceeded to give him an education and indoctrination that would enable him to regain his health and attain an unparalleled under-standing of electromagnetic science and its role in UFO technology. "Encounter in the Pleiades" blends the history of physics and UFOlogy with the personal experiences of Preston Nichols and gives unprecedented insight into the technology of flying saucers and their accompanying phenomena. Never before has the complex subject of UFOs been explained in such a simple language that will be appreciated by the scientist and understood by the layman. 2 OTHER TITLES FROM SKY BOOKS by Preston Nichols and Peter Moon The Montauk Project: Experiments in Time Montauk Revisited: Adventures in Synchronicity Pyramids of Montauk: Explorations in Consciousness Encounter in the Pleiades: An Inside Look at UFOs The Music of Time by Peter Moon The Black Sun: Montauk’s Nazi-Tibetan Connection Synchronicity and the Seventh Seal The Montauk Book of the Dead The Montauk Book of the Living Spandau Mystery by Joseph Matheny with Peter Moon Ong’s Hat: The Beginning by Radu Cinamar with Peter Moon Transylvania Sunrise Transylvania Moonrise by Stewart Swerdlow Montauk: The Alien Connection The Healer’s Handbook: A Journey Into Hyperspace by Alexandra Bruce 3 The Philadelphia Experiment Murder: Parallel Universes and the Physics of Insanity by Wade Gordon The Brookhaven Connection 4 Encounter in the Pleiades: An Inside Look at UFOs by Preston B.

Officially known as the Phoenix Project to intelligence and military circles, this activity has been become colloquially known as the Montauk Project (named after the location of the project which was at Montauk, New York) and is the subject of a popular book entitled "The Montauk Project: Experiments in Time" by Preston Nichols with Peter Moon. This book, for which Mr. Nichols is most famous, chronicled major events which involved secret sciences such as weather control and mind control. Allegedly, these developments led to full scale teleportation and materialization of objects which in turn led to the harnessing of time itself. After publication of "The Montauk Project", investigation continued in an effort to substantiate such claims. This ultimately resulted in two subsequent books ("Montauk Revisited" and "Pyramids of Montauk") which corroborate that something of a very irregular nature did occur at Montauk and does so to this day. There are still more people coming forward that will attest to the reality of such a project. Although Preston’s research has been hailed by many and condemned by others, no one can deny that he possesses a mastery of electromagnetic technology and has been involved in covert government research. His professional opinions and advice are still sought after in these circles. It is one aspect of Preston’s connections to the secret sector which is to be the subject of this book: the field of UFOs. "Encounter in the Pleiades: An Inside Look at UFOs" is written in two parts. Part One is by Preston Nichols and concerns his intimate experiences with UFOs, aliens and their technology. It begins with Preston's personal encounters and how he boarded a UFO at the request of the military in an attempt to figure out how the vehicle was engineered. As the book continues, this secret is revealed in a step by step fashion that will leave you with a startling new look at reality and how UFOs function. Certain passages may get a little technical but the language used is non-intimidating and easy to understand. There is plenty of adventure as well. The second part of this book is by myself, Peter Moon. I have served as Preston’s ghost writer for his first three books and this work is our fourth collaboration together. Part Two begins with my own ventures into the paranormal and how these inextricably linked me to Preston Nichols and the 9 UFO phenomena. I conclude by digging into the mythology of the Pleiades and demonstrating how these stars serve as a gateway to anyone trying to understand the phenomena of inner and outer space. "Encounter in the Pleiades: An Inside Look at UFOs" will take you on an unprecedented journey in consciousness into the inner realm of the UFO phenomena. After you read this book, you will never look at the subject of flying saucers in quite the same way. Happy reading. 10 Part 1 — by Preston B. Nichols 11 Chapter 1 — UFOs, A General History Unidentified Flying Objects or UFOs have been around in different forms ever since the dawn of man. Mysterious flying crafts are mentioned in old Sanskrit manuscripts as well as the Bible. There is Ezekiel’s winged fire chariot in the Old Testament and a host of other descriptions if you wish to seek them out in ancient literature. They are nothing new to the experience of mankind, but an understanding as regards their precise nature certainly needs to be improved upon. That is the premise of this book. Modern day UFOlogy begins in a popular sense in 1947 with Kenneth Arnold’s sightings in the northwest and the crash in Roswell, New Mexico. The Roswell crash is particularly well documented and has been reported on in different books and a cable television movie. Although these events were reported on in the common press, earlier sightings were not so well known. In this respect, modern UFOlogy began at least in the 1930s. The earliest sighting I’ve personally been told of was in 1936. This date, by no coincidence, is when the military was conducting its first experiments with radar. They could for the first time look at an unidentified object in the sky and see by looking at the radar screen that it had actual substance and was not of an illusory nature. This was the first hard scientific proof. At that particular time period, UFOs were referred to as “flying unknowns” but for some reason the abbreviation “F.U.” didn’t stick. Modern rumors of UFO crashes started roughly in 1936 and continued right through World War II until the first documented crash at Roswell in 1947. Since that time period, crashes began to occur at a rate of about one every three or four months. This is why the Air Force began Project Blue Book which was at least a two layered project. The first priority was for the Air Force to seek out and discover all information concerning UFO sightings and crashes.
