Thing is, the book makes no such claims.

Larry Warren, says the book, has memories of such things as alien
"hideouts" under the Bentwaters base.

But the book concludes that these memories were most likely created
artificially, in a government mind control experiment. That, of
course, is another can of nightcrawlers, but at least if someone
wants to disbelieve the "hype," let's get straight exactly what the
"hype" is.
