Reviews

[Peter]

The books is from 1988 and I would have loved to read it as a youth and still like it to be honest. It's about reporting of UFOs over the years, written by different authors. In the 2nd section you make contact with UFOs, wonder about the legends of the crashed saucers, abductees and their experiences, investigate them, see traces of UFO landings and have a look at photographic evidence (fine photo section here). Other major topics are government cover-ups and conspiracy, explaining them and the need to be skeptical. Overall a very intriguing read, but a bit dated. Recommended!

The book is interesting, but it has a soft debunkery agenda, beware of that.

" UFO investigation has given us insights both into the natural world and into the complexities of the human experience."
