Selected by Extraterrestrials

William M. Tompkins presents an autobiographical narrative claiming decades of work within U.S.

Navy intelligence and major aerospace firms, alleging involvement in reverse-engineering alien technology and a secret naval space program.

The book recounts his personal experiences, 'flashes' of alleged psychic information, and interactions with purported extraterrestrial-associated individuals.

It mixes autobiographical career details with grand claims about moon bases, secret projects, and alien influence on human technology development.

Widely discussed in UFO and exopolitics communities, the book is controversial and has been met with skepticism by mainstream historians and researchers due to unverifiable assertions and anachronisms.

The work has nonetheless influenced modern fringe narratives about secret space programs and continues to be cited in related communities.
