A JOURNALIST AND WRITER LOOKS AT A WIDE VARIETY OF TOPICS
Don Berliner is an independent journalist who was a staff writer for NICAP, and is board chairman of the Fund for UFO Research, Inc.
He wrote in the first chapter of this 1995 book, “In the case of UFO phenomena, the question must be asked: What would give an unelected government official the right to keep this information to himself, thereby depriving the rest of the world of possible knowledge of almost inconceivable magnitude and consequence? Such elitism by the officials of any government, much less a government based on the principles of democracy and individual rights, is a gross injustice not only to its own people but to all people.” (Pg. 16)
He explains, “Much of what is ‘known’ about UFOs comes from individuals’ descriptions of what they say they saw. If the individuals are reliable and knowledgeable about the sky, the information stands a good chance of being useful. This is the source of the case’s ‘credibility,’ one of two primary criteria recognized by the late Dr. J. Allen Hynek … Dr. Hynek’s other criterion is ‘strangeness,’ meaning the extent to which a reported observation differs from normal airplanes, satellites, meteors, etc. … It is the reports that rate highest in both ‘credibility’ and ‘strangeness’ that form the heart of the UFO mystery.” (Pg. 19)
He reports the statement of Sen. Barry Goldwater, who said, “The subject of UFOs is one that has interested me for some long time. About ten or twelve years ago, I made an effort to find out what was in the building at Wright Patterson Air Force Base where the information is stored that has been collected by the Air Force, and I was understandably denied the request. It is still classified above Top Secret.” (Pg. 37)
He recounts, “Until the experience of a small-town policeman [Lonnie Zamora] in New Mexico, reports from persons claiming to have seen small beings in connection with UFOs on the ground (CE-III)… were looked upon with considerable disfavor within the UFO research community. After the landing near Socorro, New Mexico, confirmed by a second reputable witness, attitudes changed. The years following this event produced an unprecedented flow of reports of high credibility and strangeness… In the end, Project Blue Book declared the report ‘unsolved,’ and Major Hector Quintanilla, the project’s final director, stated that there was no doubt that Lonnie Zamora had seen an object that had left quite an impression on him.” (Pg. 78, 80)
This book is useful brief overview of many different topics that will be of keen interest to those studying UFOs.

Very compelling. I loved the way the material was organized and presented in this book. Very well put together to give another perspective to the existence of UFOs.

Maybe the best primer on UAPs. Very dense on facts and quotes from ppl who should know what they are speaking about, high ups in military, scientists etc

Fascinating. Some of the material in this book attributed to well know political figures make it hard to believe that the government isn't hiding UFO technology from the public.
