Atlas of Unidentified Flying Objects: and Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena

by Andy McGrillen

For decades, UFOs were dismissed as mere conspiracy theories, often relegated to the realm of sci-fi with "X-Files" music and jokes about little green men. But now, the conversation has shifted. UFOlogists, enthusiasts, and researchers—once ridiculed—are now in the spotlight, featured on major international TV, radio, and podcasts.

This book uncovers the fascinating world of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO) and Unexplained Aerial Phenomena (UAP), exploring both famous incidents and lesser-known cases. Arranged in 5 Abduction, Crash Retrieval, Military, Civilian and Close Encounter and with specially commissioned maps, detailed case studies, photographs and direct witness testimonies, it reveals the global scope of UAP sightings and encounters.

While iconic events like Roswell, the Phoenix Lights, and the Hills abduction have their place in UFO history, this book dives deeper, shedding light on thousands of lesser-known but equally significant cases. From the Varginha crash in Brazil to the Tic Tac encounters off California’s coast, this book presents new information, case details, and direct witness testimony, revealing the global scale of this extraordinary phenomenon.

Whether you're a believer or a skeptic, Atlas of UFOs and UAPs provides an informed perspective on these incidents and is an essential read for anyone looking to understand the full scope of UFO and UAP sightings worldwide.

I'm only 1/2 through this, but I'm enjoying it so much that I can't wait to give it a 5-star rating. I truly think this is the best, most accessible choice of book for someone new to the UFO/UAP topic and looking to get a primer on what's been going on all over the world over the past several decades.

What makes this different from all the other UFO books out there? The format! This is THE most readable UFO book I've come across. It is not a long, dense account. It covers over 30 different accounts of UFO activity. Each case has a nicely written overview, maps to show location, and photos/copies of news articles. Each case is just a few pages long, making it a perfect intro without overwhelming the reader. I especially found the maps helpful for me to visualize each location. And the cases are from all over the world! The selection of cases is excellent to stop the "why does this only happen in the US" argument (answer: It doesn't!).

With this subject moving out of the fringe, I believe many people are going to find themselves wondering about something they maybe have never considered before. As most UFO enthusiasts know, there's a big learning curve to this field. "Atlas of Unidentified Flying Objects" will be a great resource for those hoping to familiarize themselves with the history of UFO/UAP activity.

Beyond being a resource for those who are newly curious, any person interested in UFO, from all levels of knowledge, will surely enjoy having all these accounts collected in one volume. It's easy to pick up and find a certain case. I have come across many that I didn't even know about. And it's also just a beautifully bound edition!

I am so glad to have this in my personal collection and will happily encourage family and friends to check it out too.
