About this listen
Bill Tompkins was embedded in the world of secrecy as a teenager, when the navy took his personal ship models out of a Hollywood department store because they showed the classified locations of the radars and gun emplacements. He was present at the “Battle of LA”, when 1,430 rounds were fired at UFOs, and one of the Nordic craft selected him to be their rep in the evolving aerospace race. This book is a partial autobiography about his life to about 1970 including some of his early work for TRW. Selected by the navy prior to completing high school, he was the courier for secrets learned from navy spies about the Nazis until he was discharged in 1946.
After working at North American Aviation and Northrop, he was hired by Douglas Aircraft Company in 1950, and when they found out about his involvement in classified work, was given a job as a draftsman with a peripheral assignment to work in a “think tank”. It was controlled by the navy personnel who used to work for James Forrestal, who was allegedly assassinated because he was going to publicly reveal what he knew about UFOs. Bill Tompkins was asked to conceive sketches of mile-long naval interplanetary craft designs.
Later, as he became involved with the Apollo launch vehicle, his insight to systems engineering resulted in his offering some critical suggestions personally to Dr. Wehrner von Braun with more reliable checkout with missiles in their vertical position. This story is peppered with very personal interactions with his co-workers and secretaries, some of whom the he believes were Nordic aliens helping the “good guys” here on Earth. He sketches what he personally saw on TV when Armstrong was landing on the moon. Born in May 1923, Bill Tompkins is one of the few survivors of the “big war”, married to the same girl Mary, and was willing to tell his story about what he really did during his aerospace life in the '40s, '50s, and '60s that relate to aliens, NASA, and secrets that now can be told.

Alien chick love story
I wasn't expecting this book to be a tribute to the super hot and flirtatious secretarial staff that William worked with over the years. I think the author needed to take a cold shower before sitting down to write this book.

And ego gone mad
This book is a man’s fantasy about what his life could’ve been, he seems like a minor player in the space program but if we were to believe what he writes in this book, just about every good idea for the Apollo program for US missile programs for the space program in general was conceived by him. Every bit of dialogue is colleagues telling him, Bill you’re a genius, Bill you’re so wonderful, Bill why don’t people realise how wonderful you are. Bill you’re such a visionary, you and your extra terrestrial friends are really doing well. If we have to believe this book, many of the engineers working at the Douglas factory on the Apollo program we talking regularly about reptilian aliens lifeforms and sexy secretaries who were Nordic aliens. And of course the sexy secretaries we just wild about Bill, but Bill was married so he’s a good guy. According to him. There is absolutely nothing in this book that remotely looks like evidence for his assertions. I’m sorry but it just doesn’t cut it

Not believable - disappointed.
Sounded like a dorky 1950's B grade sci fi story trying to be cool and smart.

Frozen in a narrow minded time.
Just another inflated white male boasting about their own life, stitching a book together with a inflated imagination. Treating women like objects and making stories up that are unbelievable. It’s hard to trust his testimonies used in other media and books.
