MO41; The Bombshell Before Roswell†by Paul Blake Smith; might well be the most exciting; shocking; and impactful event – and now book subject - in not just American history; but all of human history. Did three extraterrestrials really crash-land their circular spaceship on a farm just outside of Cape Girardeau; Missouri; in mid-April of 1941? Was this stunning recovery then taken to a secret hiding place beneath perhaps the most recognizable building in the world? Was an aspect of the scientifically examined alien craft’s propulsion system applied to the U.S. nuclear weapons program to help win World War II? The serious; amazing pre-Roswell claims and quotes; rumors and insights; opinions and documented facts are all examined here; in proper chronological; easy-to-read order; the only book to ever comprehensively explore perhaps the wildest nonfiction story of all time. The results make up a case that could win in a court of law; or at least in the court of public opinion. You; the reader; decide!

Pritchard is of Micmac heritage; and he felt a passionate need to learn the ways of his ancestors. Which is why he went and found himself a Native Micmac teacher. This book is an attempt to explain to the rest of us some of what he learned; with special emphasis on the spiritual. I think it is particularly successful at helping us begin to grasp the traditional Native worldview.This book is not written linearly; like a novel. It touches on a subject; circles around it for a while; and then comes back to address the same subject again in more depth. Micmac prayers move in this manner; circularly. And the rhythms of the earth and of traditional Native life are similary cyclical; moving around a center rather than progressing linearly like our concept of time from the past to an isolated future.In response to a previous reviewer: Lack of linear time does not equal "primitive". On the contrary; I believe the author is actually trying to show us how much more *sophisticated* the Micmac view of life is than ours. If their sophistication is linguistic; spiritual; and philosophical rather than technological; then in my mind that makes it just that much more important.This book seeks to immerse us in the worldview of a people whose wisdom we have long ignored; but that we now very much need. And it succeeds in this far better than any other book I have read. Rather than simply teaching us intellectually about the Micmac approach to life and spirituality; it helps us feel what it is like to see the world through Micmac eyes.I highly recommend this book.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Excellent Book!!By ShumakaloI can't say enough about the content; and writing; of this book. The Algonquin ways are those that we as a people should have followed...not the other way around! The writing was so fluid; and meaningful; with all the beauty that was intended.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. beautiful and profoundBy post moderna wonderful read; a book that is informative and inspirational and inspires meditation and reflection.
