I saw this in my uncle's bookshelf. He loves ufos. Anyway, the book was named "Above Top Secret", and it was a book about ufo conspiraces. Does
anyone know what this is?
Sorry if anyone has posted this before.

Yeah this is an old topic  Have a search around

Yeah,
It's a book about UFOs by Timothy Good... Though I believe that it isn't associated with this website (that is, I think it just happens to have the
same name).
The book itself is OK... Though a reasonably good presentation of various UFO events, it is lacking when it comes to skeptical double-checking of
facts related to those events. Good brings up many very believable UFO encounters, but includes extraneous -- often sensationalistic -- 'facts'
that, on their own, expose the topics at hand to easy debunking. For example, Good mentions that various astronauts have seen UFOs -- Indeed, many
have reported unexplained occurences in space -- However, he discredits the idea that astronauts have seen UFOs by including some spurious
astronaut-UFO reports in his summaries of them (why attribute a denied UFO report from the moon to Neil Armstrong when other astronauts have openly
commented on UFOs?).

The book does not go in depth, but is a good sampler for alot of topics that seem to come up here.

Yar, haven't we had this discussion before?

Yes, but it's unrealistic to think everyone goes to search before asking a simple question....
As a side note, you'll notice that the Mod only board "Cosmic" corresponds to the security classification believed to be held by those "in the
know" about UFOs, according to Good....
