ENCOUNTERS WITH STAR PEOPLE: Untold Stories of American Indians by Ardy Sixkiller Clarke (2012-11-26) Paperback – January 1, 1776

I've actually purchased and read all three of the author's books on this topic. She found herself a very cool niche. Using family, friends, and word of mouth, she has documented numerous stories of encounters between native Americans and ETs.Reading Ardy's books has been a really fun act of protest for me against the world governments that simply don't want the citizens of the world to know the truth about aliens. The truth is that there's a LOT of sentient, intelligent, interstellar life out there. They visit Earth whenever they please for their own purposes and there's nothing world governments can do about it.Make no mistake, I don't believe that all of the stories are true. I think that her third book in the series is particularly sketchy at points. Human beings are VERY suggestible. We love to enjoy adult beverages and sometimes illicit drugs. We also just love telling a good story. That's how we are. Still, many of these stories ring true. Some are sweet and quaint while some are terrifying.This book and the others in the series answered a burning question that I've had for a while which is, will humanity simply become extinct as the result of climate change and environmental collapse? Or, perhaps ET groups such as the Keepers are placing some humans on other planets to start over? I've come to the conclusion from reading Ardy's books that human life likely HAS already been transplanted to other planets for a variety of reasons including partnership, friendship, love, and slavery.So, draw your own conclusions from Ardy's books. My conclusion is that encounters with aliens happen, maybe every day. Some of them are quite loving and friendly while some of them are quite evil and dangerous as Travis Walton discovered.My personal recommendation if you find yourself in the presence of a clearly evil alien species and you have no weapon or your weapon has been disabled, PRAY. Pray specifically and earnestly for God's protection at that moment. My favorite book for good prayers of protection is Armor of God by Dave Juliano. Prayers for protection are supposedly answered immediately and I don't think that God would allow one of his children to bully another.

This is one of the oddest books I have ever read on UFOs. The Native Americans whom the author interviews, whether Alaskan, Navajo, etc., seem to be completely matter-of-fact about their encounters with UFOs and aliens. If the aliens are caught in a snow storm, give them a lift. If they have a flat tire, change it. If they get lost, help them find their way back. There doesn't seem to be any of the hysteria surrounding UFO encounters found in other cultures. There also doesn't seem to be much of the fear. It is a fascinating book purely from a cultural standpoint.

I almost didn't buy this,because the title sounded sort of corny. However, after reading the sample, I purchased it, and was glad I did. Very interesting, caught my attention from the start.Many well-researched stores by the author (who is also American Indian) and a different perspective of alleged alien interaction from a unique group of people. I found the stories riveting, powerful, and intriguing.The way American Indian culture treats the visits of Star People is definitely different from that of other groups. Clarke has interviewees from aged people to young people.People who told their stories are not looking for some sort of adulation or attention (many would not give their names because they could have been ostracized, lost their jobs, or made sport of by others). They simply wanted to tell their story in a humble, straight-forward fashion and I found them quite believable overall. Their demeanor and candor in relating these encounters showed them as well-spoken, intelligent, honest, and definitely concerned over possible repercussions to their lives and livelihood if they were exposed as having seen or interacted with "a UFO".There are a couple of stories about possible hybrid Indians (although no DNA tests were done on them) that raised questions to me. These people were not "cross-hybrid Greys" or whatever the term would be for that, but had allegedly descended from a different type of humanoid-appearing alien, long-lived, that passed the longevity on to them, as well as some other genetic traits. IF this was true, then it would appear that the DNA of humans and these "others" must be compatible to an astonishing degree, because the individuals said they were born normally of a human mother, not mixed in a petri-dish/test-tube situation and born in some other way, some other place.It is possible, naturally, that these individuals in question had some type of psychosis and merely BELIEVED they were of alien genetics, but they sounded, (through the testimony Clarke relayed,) sincere. However, anyone with a persistent delusion WOULD sound sincere and believe what they were telling you was the truth. Since DNA doesn't lie, a sample from them would have been the litmus test---so unfortunate one could not have been procured. Kudos to the American Indians interviewed for having the courage and honesty to relay the tales of the "Star People" to Clarke.

A no nonsense, unembellished but fascinating look at this subject. The authors's voice is just as charming and measured as the voices of the Indians recounting their stories. The author allows the stories to tell themselves. Because of her great networking skills among the American Indian reservation system she has the luxury of using only the very best encounter stories, and her Indian heritage gave her access to a people notorious for their reticence and privacy. Probably only a blooded indian could have pried thes stories loose from so many different people. There is no need to stretch or enhance anything. This is a no BS zone. The book also gives us an intimate glance into the current reservation scene and the social dynamics. Sixkiller's academic training combined with her very big heart strike the perfect balance between rationaility and intellectual adventure. She genuinely cares for these people, and they all sensed that and opened up for her. I do hope she will tackle some other forteana in the near future. American Indian sasquatch stories would be high on my list.Highly recommended.

I could hardly put the book down, and although I read a great deal about UFO's and all the weirdness around it, this book impressed me more than any other.Maybe it's the authenticity of the stories, the connection to the 'Star people', the 'ancestors' in the tradition of Native American tribes, which makes this book different. It doesn't happen very often that 'mythology' is backed up by facts that are happening here and now.But not all experiences are positive, and from what these people tell Dr. Clarke abductions are real and threatening, cattle mutilations are UFO -related events, shapeshifters are around, and people disappear never to return. We can't guess what the hidden agenda of some races is. The book draws no conclusions, people simply tell their sometimes beautiful and moving stories in their own words, without hypnoses or coached questioning. It's amazing how often UFO's are seen in the Reservations all over the country, how often they land, and how 'normal' they have become in some places.A fascinating read, highly recommended!

Very good collection of experiences by native American people.I for one had never heard of any of the cases featured,that fact alone makes it worthy of five stars.Not just a rehash of every common case we've all read before.If true some truly amazing events have or are occurring in this world.

A fascinating read, which has more credibility than most books that deal with subjects such as UFOs. The author has done a great job of assembling such a varied collection of contactee / encounter stories and I will need to re-read this book several times, because it's so thought-provoking. No hype, just straightforward, objective reporting of what people tell her - things which they do not usually speak openly about and which they want no recognition for. I will also have to buy her other books.

Excellent book, very underrated, I barely heard about, the cases are very credible, the book is very well written by an academian still it is not pretensious. REally worth reading, the cases fall completely inside the UFO lore. Good work.

... it doesn't matter. This is one of very few books I've read on the 'unexplained' that works as both fiction and fact. (The others I can think of remotely like it are Hawkins' book on Stonehenge and one - I forget the title - about two blokes dowsing their way across England.) Maybe it's all true, in which case it's utterly remarkable. And if it isn't, you should still read it because it's so very, very well written.
