In a new book recently released entitled, Coming Clean on UFOs and ET part 5, Baldin says that extraterrestrials frequently interact with humans, giving them ideas and life lessons during abductions. The book is one in a series of 6 books, a compilation of answers by Baldin to questions by posters on his website concerning UFOs and Alien beings that frequently are making contact with humans. Baldin served in the military in the early seventies and states that he had personal contact with extraterrestrial beings during his tour of duty while stationed at a number of army bases in the US and overseas. According to Baldin Aliens have bases in the oceans and in underground caverns in several secret locations around the world, usually near or on military bases. Baldin indicates that the military is working with certain Alien factions to thwart renegade Alien beings that have subverted Third World Countries and keeps them in a perpetual state of war to camouflage Alien activities in those countries.
