Synopsis

This work explores the evidence that holes in time may occur on a regular basis as a result of a strange phenomenon - the time storm. The author investigates the paranormal and discusses the idea that time travel is not only possible, but that time travellers may have already appeared amongst us. The book features: first hand reports of people who were transported hours, or even days across time and space; describes the typical features of a time storm incident; and explains why scientists believe time travel will soon be possible and how a time machine would work. It also looks at evidence that cases of alien abduction are actually time storm incidents and the links between near death experiences and time storms.

Review

Jenny Randles is well known as one of the more sensible writers on UFOs, someone who prefers to look for "real-world" explanations--physiological, psychological, sociological, cultural--rather than immediately leaping for the "alien option". At first sight Time Storms might appear to be heading in the opposite direction, dealing as it does with time travel--surely the subject of science fiction. But Randles has some interesting and revealing things to say.

A lot of cases claimed by "UFOlogists" involve strange mists, reports of missing time--usually just a couple of hours--or people or things inexplicably being shifted in space. In the first half of her book Randles gives a large number of examples of these, and of similarly unusual accounts. Many of them are accompanied by what has become known as "the Oz Factor", "an eerie stillness and silence; the flow of time stopping inexplicably and leaving a numbing timelessness". All of these she sees as linked effects suggesting a disturbance of the space-time continuum, rather than anything to do with UFOs.

After the empirical--or at least, anecdotal--evidence, the second half of the book is as clear and straightforward an explanation as one might wish for of such complex issues as relativity theory, quantum physics and Schrödinger's cat. In proposing that what she calls "time storms" might eventually be scientifically explicable, Randles inevitably raises more questions than answers, but in this fascinating book she is pointing the way towards some intriguing future research. --David V Barrett
