Eight Tower (8T) Review. Keel has authored several 'paranormal' subject-matter books and 8T follows his prior approach of reporting events (newspaper, eye-witness), analyzing and extrapoliting resulting data to identify trends, and patterns. This book follows the same approach and while I found some of the material highly speculative at best; I recognized that he was the first proponent of the Ultra-terrestrial hypothesis (UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse - 1970), which he referenced in Chptr 8. He also was an early adopter of the 'Zoo Hypothesis' (J. Bell 1973) - Chptr 11.

He has a creative approach to applying technical science concepts (e.g. Reflective Factor - {sometimes combined with Ambrosia Factor and Synchronicity} (Chptr's 14, 17, 18, 22) that he uses to summarize that paranormal event reporting is not always based on objective reality (actual physical events), but manipulation of events, by a higher intelligence ) to project what they want us to see. Another use of a scientific principal (quantum tunneling/entanglement) is referenced in Chptr 9 as the means of telepathic communication between humans and other entities using a new force he calls the 'Superspectrum (Chptrs 3, 7)

I found it interesting that he supports the supposition that UFO propulsion is s not anti-gravity, but that "...gravity is a condition of our environment or reality.." and operates at a frequence well above that of gravity.

It appears that Keel could be making a very early reference to simulation theory in his reference to the work of Ivant Sanderson's 'collective unconsciousness' "..the world is really a living organism with a mind of its own.."

Overall, the material presented in the book appeared as a historical reference interspersed with fascinating original ideas with the integration of scientific principals into the paranormal realm that was unexpected, but very useful.
