The Alien Agendas

A Speculative Analysis of Those Visiting Earth

By: Richard Dolan

Narrated by: Bruce Richardson

Of the many books on UFOs and aliens, this one may be unique. Richard Dolan, one of the world’s leading historians of the UFO subject, has analyzed the different alien types and agendas based on longstanding patterns observed by witnesses. This is both a careful review of the best evidence we have of human-alien interaction, as well as a bold speculation of just who the aliens are and what they want.

Dolan’s analysis starts with our ancient prehistory and potential genetic modifications and monitoring by extraterrestrials. He also studies the long history of interaction with perfectly human-looking beings who somehow did not seem as though they were “from here”. Such interactions have continued through the present day. Who are these beings? He also analyzes reports of gray aliens and other types, including reptilian types, insectoid types, hybrid beings, and a range of others.

With a view toward understanding their psychology, their technological capabilities, and the nature of their interactions with people, he speculates as to what ultimate plans may be. He argues that the alien presence is especially important now. This is because of the rapid transformation of human civilization into something we have never before experienced. We still don’t have a proper name for what we are going through, but it includes a combination of radical new technologies with a new social order that ultimately might make human civilization much more like the societies that these other beings already have - one that combines a tightly centralized and controlled social order with sophisticated science and technology.

Well Put

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Covers material all humans need to know. It’s time we’re all on board!!!

intriguing read

Liked the deep subject matter that makes you think about our real future and alien agenda

A great speculative analysis of the phenomenon

Okay, this book will not be for everyone. If you aren't already convinced of the abduction phenomenon, then you will likely not enjoy this book. This book does nothing to prove or convince you of it's claims. And that is by design. Richard Dolan is the foremost UFO historian of our time. He's very knowledgeable of historical cases and his opinions on what the phenomenon is, I find useful. He has a lot of the picture of Ufology and can form opinions with better tools than those that are less versed in their studies of the subject.

His contention builds a lot on what Dr. Jacobs has presented. They really come to nearly the same conclusions on everything, with slightly different details here and there. I would, in fact, read Jacobs' "Walking Among Us" before reading this. Because Jacobs most recent book lays out the framework for how he has come up with his contentions. In fact, I'd start with Jacobs' "The Threat", then read "Walking Among Us", then this book. This recommended trilogy of Ufology will provide a great framework for the argument that we are and have been infiltrated by non-human intelligences. And those that aren't open to the idea will have a bad time.

This book is really kind of a brief summation of Jacob's books. Dolan attempts to explain differences between him and Jacobs, but really they come to more or less the same conclusion.

On the downside, this book is a bit short and you can get more information from Jacobs' work. But it still is a fun read. And you get the added benefit of getting UFO cases from Dolan, as Jacobs isn't nearly as versed in the history of Ufology. Jacobs' specializes in hypnotic regression and not history. So really, there is some stuff to take away from this one. Again, I'd read all three.

Something I didn't like about this is towards the end of the book, he somewhat gets political. And while I love and appreciate Dolan's work, I try to separate my own political beliefs as mine are very much different than his. It can be distracting when the book takes such a turn towards the end. I love the theories he presents about Ufology, but didn't sign up for his conclusions about his take on male testosterone decline and his ideas on "freedom of speech". Again, I love the man. We just don't agree, politically and I ended up stopping the book 25 minutes before the end because of that.

But aside form that last half our, I found the book addicting to listen to. It really is a good book. If your familiar with the concept of alien hybridization, you may not learn much. But Dolan made an exciting book to listen to, even if your well versed on the topic.

And if any of that sounds insane, which I'm sure it will to most, than this book isn't for you. But if you want a good speculative analysis based on hypnotic regression from abduction cases, as well as other theories about human DNA undergoing a rapid change about 40 thousand years ago, then pick this one up. It's bittersweet, but you may just end up listening to the entire thing all at once, like I did. It can be difficult to find books that go this far into speculative territory while still staying away from unfounded insanity from people claiming they lived on Mars for 32 years while serving as galactic federation Navy Seal or some such stuff. Because despite how utterly insane it may sound that aliens are creating hybrids from human beings, it isn't without years of analysis from hypnotic regression from abductees. Because there is a lot of consistency in their stories and the details are not things within pop culture.

If your wanting an argument for this theory, read Jacobs. Read his recent two books and THEN read this one. If you are open open to shattering your worldview, than the trio I've suggested may be worth your time. But if your a hardcore materialist, than I'd stay away.

One more thing, this book does a great job speculating about the most common forms of alien sightings. There is a chapter about Human-looking aliens, greys, tall greys and Mantids. That was my favorite part of this book. It's exciting to think about the consistencies between the "roles" that these various entities play.

Sorry for the unorganized diatribe of a review. I think I got the point across nonetheless. If your new to Ufology, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK. It will come off as extreme woo, and could possibly turn you off of the subject. However, if your a seasoned Ufologist, then by all means, pick this one. I think you will find it cathartic and rewarding.

Interesting read

I very much enjoyed the content and found Mr. Nolan's insights and ideas to be thought provoking. The narrator was not horrible, but so many words were mispronounced.

Seems reasonable

The author doesn’t seem to agree or disagree with his findings. he simply puts his investigation into words and allows the readers to come to their own conclusions. Not a bad read for someone interested in government cover up of alien contact.

A mixed bag

This was an odd book to take in. It starts off pretty strong with a fairly consistent tone and some very interesting cases. I had a 5 star opinion up until approximately the final third of the book began, at which point it starts to feel repetitive and disorganized. It’s almost as if he ran out of material and had to pad the word count. He also oddly seems more convinced of his theories the second time around, which changes the tone of the book significantly.
Things really go off the rails with about an hour left when he suddenly takes a half-hour detour into what I can only describe as right-wing conspiracy land. Odder still is that he barely ties any of it into the topic of the book, it just feels like he got distracted going off on a quasi-political tangent
Just when I thought he had entirely lost the plot he does make a slight comeback with a bit of fresh material he perhaps saved for the end. Then he caps it all off with yet another rehash of the initial material,
While I found parts of the book fairly interesting it I doubt I’ll be in an especially big rush to grab his next title.

Great insight!

Dolan is very thorough with his research. He speculates a bit in this book but it is based on years of research.

Read by a bot

Got very cringy toward the end. Amazon should be transparent when using an electronic reading assistant. It doesn’t deserve a human name.

Dude! Take a Breath!

I'm not convinced this is a human reading. He sounds like A.I., very ironic, based on the topic of the book 😄 The reader doesn't seem to pause between sentences, paragraphs, topic/chapters giving me a bit of anxiety feeling like I need to take a deep breath.

I Love all Richard Dolan's books and like other followers, would much rather listen to Richard himself read his books.

Thank-you for all your research and willingness to share with the world!

Wow ! What an amazing book.

Loved the entire book. Richard Dolan is very interesting on the UFO documentaries I've seen him interviewed. This book was so informative and well narrated. The description of different aliens was fascinating and freaked me out at the same time. Definitely worth reading if you're a UFO enthusiast like myself.
