I myself have no doubt that the Santa Monica Mountains, in which Topanga Canyon is located, contain reservoirs of energies unknown to mainstream science, and that entities from other dimensions or planets are drawn here--it was one of the reasons that we settled here--but this book fails in its objective to convince us.
A case in point is his statement in the penultimate chapter regarding one possible reason that UFO occupants might be interested in Topanga Canyon: it may have a connection with the lost continent of Mu or Lemuria, a Pacific Ocean counterpart of Atlantis.
On that evening, more than 17 witnesses situated all throughout Topanga and beyond experienced highly dramatic encounters, including one case in which the witnesses' vehicle was actually lifted up into the sky by an unknown object which had chased them down the boulevard.
