And, finally, a directory of world records answers questions about UFOs you may never even have thought to ask The truth is in here The author lives in Fleetwood, Lancs (England). 512 pages, 55 b/w illus., 4 3/16 x 5 1/4.
Although I have believed in UFO's and extraterrestrials my whole life, I haven't found many books that seem to take it seriously. Most books blow it all up out of proportion with ideas of planet wars and alien children out to kill us; however, this is one book I can finally recommend. It is very thick and well worth the price, as it covers a lot of ground. It lists all relevant case histories from prehistoric times to the present, making note of the relevance of each (military, government, TV, etc.), gives definitions of all the close encounters (CE's), and finally has a section with advice on what to do if you have a sighting, and organizations which you can contact. A wonderful introduction book and a great reference for those of us with more knowledge.
