If-or when-contact begins, it won't start in Washington. It will begin in ordinary homes. This book is the chronicle of just such an experience. Six months after completing Communion, Whitley Strieber and his family entered into sustained, intimate contact with the beings he calls "the visitors." Transformation 2026 reveals what happened next-and what it was truly like to live through prolonged contact inside an ordinary family.
This is not fiction. More than 30 named witnesses appear in these pages, many of whom experienced events alongside the Striebers.
First published in 1989 as Transformation, and later followed by its companion volume Breakthrough, this remains the only detailed, firsthand account of extended contact unfolding within a single household.
There was fear. There was confusion. There were mistakes-on both sides.
This expanded 2026 edition presents the complete original text, along with extensive updates offering crucial new insight into what it means to live with these extraordinary, complicated, deeply conscious beings.
If contact comes-and it may-the front line will not be hidden in the halls of the official world. It will unfold in homes across the world.
This is the story of how one family endured it, learned from it, and was ultimately transformed by it.
Read this unique story-and consider what real contact might be like, if it happens to you and yours.
