She not only was able to predict my personal future happenings on a month to month basis, but also told me about my past and things that could only be known to me.
After Donalie had taught me how to use the book, I was amazed by the accuracy of the predictions that could be made using the book after a relatively short learning curve.
Coupled with my own readings from the Parlor Sybil Deck, I find the book to be an outstanding addition to my readings.
The book explores the individual as well as personal relationships based on positioning of cards in spreads that Randall developed and Donalie refined.
My copy is autographed by Donalie and was a gift to me when were stockbrokers together in Los Angeles.

The book is divided into several convenient sections (ancient astronauts, general UFO sightings, contactees and abductees, and skeptics), and each section is preceded by an article-length discussion of one or a few of the subjects covered by the entries within. So, for example, the section on ancient astronauts is preceded by a more substantive and editorialized discussion of the so-called "monuments" of Mars and of Robert Temple's "Sirius Mystery," in which it is claimed that the Dogon tribe in West Africa possesses astronomical knowledge that could only have been obtained by the use of a telescope; similarly, the section for skeptical works is preceded by a discussion of the evidence (or lack thereof) for an extraterrestrial connection to crop circles and cattle mutilations.
"Cosmic Test Tube" is genuinely entertaining in places--many of the summaries of UFO-related works are quite funny, especially when presented in such a deadpan manner. It isn't clear to me, however, exactly how "Cosmic Test Tube" points to some sort of "middle way" between believers and skeptics, especially when all it does is reproduce the basic arguments of each side with little in the way of real evaluation. And, of course, it should go without saying that in the modern age of the internet not all of the pertinent information is to be found solely in published books--for example, the paranoia and self-delusion evident in Richard Hoagland's "The Monuments of Mars" pales in comparison with the fantasies and conspiracy-mongering to be found on his web site for "The Enterprise Mission."
Regardless, those with more than a casual interest in UFOlogy will find in "Cosmic Test Tube" a useful reference work that will point them toward other, more detailed books on whatever subject they find most interesting.

It's helpful in that it can save you years of research. However, you won't be any closer to the "truth" after reading it.
