DESCRIPTION
An evocative vintage work of UFO and New Age literature, The Star People explores the Steigers’ theory that certain people living on Earth may possess an extraterrestrial ancestry or spiritual connection to other worlds.
Brad and Francie Steiger examine the reported characteristics, dreams, intuitions, physical traits, and feelings of displacement associated with people who believed themselves to be descendants of visitors from the stars. The book describes individuals awakening to their supposed origins and a larger mission to guide humanity into a new spiritual age.
The ideas explored here became part of the foundation for what is now commonly called the “starseed” movement. The Star People therefore offers both an unusual paranormal narrative and a revealing artifact from the convergence of 1970s and 1980s UFO culture, metaphysics, channeling, and New Age spirituality.
Brad Steiger was a prolific and influential investigator of UFOs, unexplained phenomena, spirituality, and the paranormal. His death in 2018 and the book’s out-of-print status have added interest for collectors of his work.
This copy is a later Berkley printing rather than a first printing. Its extraordinary cosmic cover art and classic mass-market format make it a visually compelling addition to a vintage UFO or occult paperback collection.
WHY WE LOVE THIS BOOK
Few vintage paperbacks capture the exuberant strangeness of early New Age UFO culture as effectively as The Star People. Its glowing extraterrestrial cover, bold typography, and unapologetically cosmic premise make it both fascinating reading and an exceptional display piece. It also documents the early development of ideas that continue today under the widely searched term “starseed.”
