AUTHOR: Blum, Howard, 1948-
TITLE: Out there : the government's secret quest for extraterrestrials / Ho>
PUBLISHER New York : Simon and Schuster, c1990.
tclark@umaxc.weeg.uiowa.edu (Terry Clark): Mr. Blum mainly
weaves a tale of how he used his "sources" to track
the Pentagon's establishment of a UFO working group.
He pads out a big chunk of the books middle with a
re-telling of the SETI project. Pretty much a
yawn-er, 2 starships on a scale of five.
Keith Rowell: An important book since it is written by a
former NY Times reporter who has written two other
influential books -- one about Nazi intelligence
officers brought to America illegally after WWII and
the other about the Walker spy case. However, Blum's
UFO book was apparently hastily done and, thus,
somewhat of a disappointment in the UFO research
community.
Charles McGrew: very readable book (the above comment about
padding is correct, though the padding makes good
reading anyway, if you're interested in the early
history of the SETI project.) Details Bill
Moore's shenanigans on behalf of AFOSI, and the
story of how the MJ-12 documents came to light
(there may be a veiled punnic reference to its
source, by referring to the source as a "Good
Samaritan" =?= Timothy Good?)

TITLE: First Contact: The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence
NAL Books - Penguin Group, New York, 1990
QB54 F48 1990
Charles McGrew - A survey of how the "mainstream" scientific
and polical establishment view the possibility of
ETI, (that is, it completely ignores the UFO "genre";
the most radical organization listed in its appendix
is the Planetary Society), with some speculative
fiction and non-fiction thrown in for good measure.
A good book for a general introduction to current
intelligent-life-not-of-this-earth thought.
Several articles on the SETI project.

TITLE: UFO Abductions: The Measure of a Mystery. Vol. 1: Comparative
Study of Abduction Reports. (Bloomington, IND): Fund for UFO

[No library-index info available]
Keith Rowell: This study by a PhD folklorist is must reading
for anyone wanting to understand the depth and breadth
of the abduction enigma. Bullard concludes UFO
abduction stories are much too internally consistent
down to small details to be classed as traditional
folklore or typical dream material.

TITLE: Tesla: Man out of Time
PUBLISHER Englewood Cliffs, NJ : Prentice-Hall, 1981
ISBM 0-13-906859-7 TK140.T4 C47
Charles McGrew: Sooner or later in your UFO readings you will
come across the name of Nikola Tesla (1856-1943), the
electrical wizard. This is "the book" on him (mostly
because its the only one in print.) Tesla was a
genius of the first magnitude. Tesla of course is the
inventor of the Tesla coil, used to this day in all
sorts of electrical devices (and the AC motor, and a
host of other things.) For our purposes, though, it
is the 'urban legend' of sorts that has grown up about
his last years and the "conspiracy" to hide what he
was doing that is interesting -- though he did have a
lot of neat ideas, there is little evidence that, as
some Tesla partisans have said, that he invented
practically everything. (The passion of Tesla
partisans is also seen in some ufologists, and
there is some overlap.) Tesla is also something of
an inventor's hero, since he was in large part an
incredibly gifted amateur, rather than a
"professional" like his contemporary (and compeditor),
Thomas Edison. This book may change some of your
view of the paths of the "march of progress" of the
last 100-odd years.
Gary S. Trujillo: This statement has things COMPLETELY
BACKWARDS! Tesla had degrees in electrical
engineering, and was very methodical in his designs,
while Edison was the tinkerer from everything I've
read on the subject. I suggest you some careful
research before making this statement with such
apparent confidence.
Charles McGrew: (hey, I always get the last word :-) What
did I say about Tesla partisans? I don't want to
get into a discussion of the relative merits of
Tesla vs. Edison; read the book.

AUTHOR: Clark, Jerome.
TITLE: The UFO Encyclopedia, Volume 1: UFOs in the 1980s
PUBLISHER Detroit, Mich.: Apogee Books, c1990.
Keith Rowell: This encyclopedia is mostly the author's tour de
force, but still delivers valuable information not
easily available elsewhere. Libraries should have this.

PUBLISHER Detroit, Mi : Omnigraphics, 1992, 433pp. ISBN 1-55888-301-0

TITLE: The ancient visitors / Daniel Cohen.
EDITION 1st ed.
PUBLISHER Garden City, N.Y. : Doubleday, c1976.
Charles McGrew: Another refutation-of-von-Daniken book, which
also attempts to pour shame on most of the UFO
"believers" by misrepresenting their views and then
scorning them. "Space-God's Revealed" is better.

AUTHOR: Colombo, John Robert.
TITLE: UFOs Over Canada: Personal Accounts of Sightings and Close
Encounters.
PUBLISHER: Willowdale, Ontario, Canada: Hounslow Press, 1991
221pp. ISBN 0-88882-138-7
Keith Rowell: A nice book by a famous Canadian compiler of
Canadiana of short UFO accounts mostly in the words of
the witnesses themselves.
--------------------
AUTHOR: Condon, Edward U. and Daniel S. Gillmor (ed.).
TITLE: Final Report of the Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying
Objects (Conducted by the University of Colorado Under
Contract to the United States Air Force). New York: Bantam
Books, 1968. 965pp.
Keith Rowell: After close, competent study of over 100 UFO
sighting reports, 30% couldn't be identified! Read
Condon's prejudiced introduction only after you have
looked through the rest of the study. The National
Academy of Sciences rubber-stamped Condon's
recommendations that no public funds be devoted to the
study of UFOs.
Charles McGrew: This is the infamous "Condon Report" that allowed
the USAF to close Project Bluebook. Condon's group split
rather violently over the report's bias (especially when
a U-Colorado memo written before the project was even
begun came to light that more or less directed a "no"
verdict). For another view, see also "UFOs? Yes!",
by David Saunders, one of Condon's group.

TITLE: Report on Communion: An Independent Investigation of and
Commentary on Whitley Strieber's Communion.
PUBLISHER: New York: Morrow, 1989. 427pp. ISBN 0-688-08864-3.
Keith Rowell: This journalist was a boyhood
acquaintance of Strieber. When Strieber published
Communion, Conroy decided to see if his story would
hold up under an investigative journalist's scrutiny.
Conroy says yes.

AUTHOR: Crain, T. Scott, Jr., and Grant Cameron
TITLE: UFOs, MJ-12, and the Government; A Report on an
Investigation of UFO Crash Retrievals
PUBLISHER (1990) MUFON. 218+ pages; index; many letters, documents, etc.
CCB104@psuvm.psu.edu: Includes some new, unexploited leads
found in no other (?) book to date.
Charles McGrew: unevenly written, and unevenly documented,
but still interersting, if flawed reading. The
authors collect a number of items of recent interest
in UFOlogy (MJ-12, "The Jason Society", a reported UFO
shoot-down in South Africa, Area 51, Bob Lazar, etc.)
into one book. If you want to catch up on all the
buzz, this is a good place to start. I have some
problems with their techniques (one of their
investigators lied about his identity, for instance,
but what the hell...)

AUTHOR: Crystall, Ellen
TITLE: Silent Invasion: The Shocking Discoveries of a UFO Researcher
PUBLISHER New York: Paragon House, 1991. 190pp. ISBN 1-55778-493-0.
Keith Rowell: A UFO researcher uses her psychic abilities to
locate UFOs in the field. Interesting for showing how
a scientifically naive person still understands that
scientific and scholarly proof is what is needed in
the end. Many hard to interpret photos accompany the text.

Keith Rowell: The first of the picture books about crop

believe UFOs may produce the "circles".

Charles McGrew: The famous collector of "strange-but-true"
stories has had a book reprinted (written before his famous
"Flying Saucers - Serious Business") in paperback. Most of
this is not ufo-related, but there are some things that
impinge on it.

--------------------
AUTHOR: Eberhart, George M., ed.
TITLE: Roswell Report, The: A Historical Perspective
PUBLISHER 1991 - Available from CUFOS
Charles McGrew: A collection of articles from the

concerning Roswell, MJ-12, etc. Many articles
written by Randle and Schmitt, authors of
"UFO Crash at Roswell". Well written. Includes
expanded timeline of Roswell events.

AUTHOR: Emenegger, Robert
TITLE: UFO's: Past, Present and Future.
PUBLISHER New York: Ballantine Books, 1974. 180pp. ISBN 345-24189-4-150
Keith Rowell: Good general book. Emenegger produced a film
documentary of the same name. The US government
hinted that it would give him some "real" flying
saucer footage for inclusion in his film. This didn't
happen.

dedicated ufologists.

TITLE: Clear intent : the government coverup of the UFO experience / Lawren>
PUBLISHER Englewood Cliffs, N.J. : Prentice-Hall, c1984.
RETITLED: The UFO Cover-Up -- What the Government Won't Say
Keith Rowell: Very important book summarizing what ufologists
know from studying the thousands of FOIA-released
government UFO documents. Everything but proof of
crashed flying saucers is here, and it's all from
FOIA-released documents!
Charles McGrew: Well, I wouldn't go that far, but it *does*
make for very informative reading. Fills in a lot
of gaps in what the government has been doing over
the UFO question (as it turns out, a *lot*). Good
narration, good bibliography. This is from CAUS,
(whom Klass has dumped on a lot), and is a fine
bit of investigation.

AUTHOR: Fort, Charles, 1874-1932.
TITLE: The complete books of Charles Fort / with a new introd.
by Damon Knight.
PUBLISHER New York : Dover Publications, c1974.
Charles McGrew: Charles Fort was a collector of weird and
unusual information, much gleaned from newspaper
stories. He published several books, which are
collected here. A little hard to read, but
interesting nevertheless. The term "fortean" to
refer to investigators-of-the-weird was coined
in deference to him. Fort had some interesting ideas
that translate well into some current ufo-isms; that
the earth is actually 'owned' by non-terrestrial
entities, for instance.

AUTHOR: Frazier, Kendrick.
TITLE: Paranormal borderlands of science / edited by Kendrick Frazier.
PUBLISHER Buffalo, N.Y. : Prometheus Books, 1981.
Charles McGrew: This is a book from CSICOP (the "skeptics" version
of MUFON or CUFOS) on various 'paranormal' phenomena.
Its a collection of articles from all the big wheels in
csicop- Randi, Klass, Oberg, plus lesser lights.
From a UFO standpoint, pickings are pretty lean - they spend
more pages on Uri Geller than they do on UFO's. (O'course,
Uri Geller is something of an anti-christ to csicop :-)
Still in all, worth a read. (From my own point of view, I am
wary of any book on the paranormal, of any flavor, that calls
itself "clear-headed," as this one does in its introduction.)

London : Century, 1991.
242 p., ISBN 0-7126-2194-6
Keith Rowell: A reliable introduction to the wilder tales
circulating in the UFO subculture in the 70s, 80s, and
90s. The bizarre nature of what is known makes a
prudent investigator reluctant to throw out any
information. Some of this will turn out to be true
after it is put through the academic mill in the 1990s
and beyond. Not for the timid or intellectually rigid.

New York: Simon and Schuster, 1992

Keith Rowell: The most important book on UFO abductions so
far. Start here because the presentation is a just the
facts, ma'am, blow by blow account of what Jacobs
believes is happening. He says essential aspects of
all abductions are absolutely real in ordinary
perceptual and space-time reality. However, there are
definite perceptual and space-time anomalies too.
When people report that they had a missing time
experience of two hours, Jacobs says they are actually
bodily missing from planet Earth, or at least human
beings cannot find them on Earth! A warning to
extreme skeptics and debunkers: this book may be
hazardous to your mental health!

AUTHOR: Klass, Philip J.
TITLE: UFOs explained [by] Philip J. Klass.
EDITION [1st ed.]
PUBLISHER New York, Random House [1975, c1974]
Charles McGrew: Phil Klass is the ultimate UFO skeptic;
the gadfly of UFOlogy. He is a very intelligent,
if arrogant fellow, and even the hardest-core
'believer' should be aware of him and his thesis
(which is that *all* UFO's have "prosaic" (i.e.
mainstream-science-founded) explainations.) He
is different from most skeptics in that although
he heaps scorn on the UFO field, he tends to find
reasons to support himself (though some of his
reasoning is faulty; he presumes that *any*
prosaic explaination *must* be the only answer.)
Although Klass is not above personal attacks, he
nevertheless is an important writer in the UFO field.

Charles McGrew: Sooner or later, like Tesla, you'll come
across John Ernst Worrell Keely, and his 'vibratory
etheric forces' for generating usable energy. This
book was originally published by his biggest fan, the
author and poet Clara Bloomfield Moore. A new
foreward by Leslie Shepard tells a bit of the "anti"
side of the Keely story. (In sum, opponents argue -
with some justification - that Keely was just a
charlatan; proponents argue that he may have been on
to something anyway.) Still and all, an interesting
look at "para-science" in the 19th century. The
"Keelynet" is named for this fellow.

Charles McGrew: Haven't read it all yet, but this is
definitely an "anti" book. An interesting look
at the phenomenon as a whole (the book covers
the whole phenomenon from 1947 on). On Roswell,
(I always look to see what a ufo survey book says
about Roswell :-) Peebles attacks Moore&Berlitz's
book, and takes a passing swipe at Randle&Schmitt's
(implying that they thought the whole thing up via the
MJ-12 documents -- an amusing, if pretty indefensible
attitude.) Looks to be a Klass disciple: attack the
witness, attack the author, attack the reader;
anything -- after all, we all know this can't be true...

be non-real, some to be perhaps-real, and some that may
need re-examination. Mr. Randle has done an execllent
job of research, looking into Bluebook files, newpaper
records, interviewing witnesses, and analyzing cases.
If you're just starting out in UFOlogy, this is an
excellent book to "jumpstart" you.

Charles McGrew: Mostly a "new age" book; the Steigers contend
that some humans are indoctrinated at an early age by
extra-terrestrial/temporal/dimensional beings (i.e.
"invisible friends" are actually real) who are trying
to move humanity to the next "plane". Unfortunately,
much of the 'evidence' is by extremely haphazard
methods, including dream-analysis and "channeled"
information by Mrs. Steiger. UFO's are dealt with only
in passing; they are a byproduct of the "new-age" stuff,
not as a phenominon in and of themselves.

PUBLISHER New York: William Morrow, 1987. 299pp. ISBN 0-688-07086-8
Keith Rowell: Bestselling book by previously bestselling
author. It's about his probable abductions.
Charles McGrew: Whitley Strieber has become something of
a anti-UFO in later years; he has ceased publication
of his Communion Newsletter and called UFO researchers
in general "crazy" and "nasty". Note that Strieber
makes his living writing horror novels (notably
"Wolfen".)

PUBLISHER Garden City, N.Y. : Doubleday, 1977.
--------------------
AUTHOR: Stringfield, Leonard H.
TITLE: The UFO Crash-Retrieval Syndrome: Status Report II:
New Sources, New Data. 1980. Available from MUFON
Charles McGrew: An excellent casebook by Mr. Stringfield of
reports of crashed saucers and recovered bodies.
Although witnesses are anonymous (e.g. "JK", "Carl",
etc.), in accordance with their wishes (Stringfield
makes the comment that rather than treating the
UFO-crash story as newspaper journalists,
investigators should respect their sources identities,
like medical journals do), the information is
compelling and presented without comments beyond the
witness' background and general information about the
veracity. A good read, and an important one. Cases
are rated as "first hand" and "second hand."

AUTHOR: Stringfield, Leonard H.
TITLE: The UFO Crash/Retrievals: Amassing the Evidence.

Charles McGrew: More information like CR II, with
equal value. Information presented without
prejudice - a major difference from most
UFO books! The C/R series is now up to 7.

Keith Rowell: A minor lay scholar of the Jungian school takes
on the UFO. His history of the field should be read by
all UFO investigators. He suspects there might be a
"real" component to UFOs, but his emphasis is on the
mythic aspects, which may be more important in the
final analysis anyway.

TITLE: Final Report of the Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying

Keith Rowell: After close, competent study of over 100 UFO
sighting reports, 30% couldn't be identified! Read
Condon's prejudiced introduction only after you have
looked through the rest of the study. The National
Academy of Sciences rubber-stamped Condon's
recommendations that no public funds be devoted to the
study of UFOs.
Charles McGrew: This is the infamous "Condon Report" that allowed
the USAF to close Project Bluebook. Condon's group split
rather violently over the report's bias (especially when
a U-Colorado memo written before the project was even
begun came to light that more or less directed a "no"
verdict). For another view, see also "UFOs? Yes!",
by David Saunders, one of Condon's group.

TITLE: UFOs--identified, by Philip J. Klass.
PUBLISHER New York, Random House [1968]
Charles McGrew: Phil Klass is the ultimate UFO skeptic;
the gadfly of UFOlogy. He is a very intelligent,
if arrogant fellow, and even the hardest-core
'believer' should be aware of him and his thesis
(which is that *all* UFO's have "prosaic" (i.e.
mainstream-science-founded) explainations. He
is different from most skeptics in that although
he heaps scorn on the UFO field, he tends to find
reasons to support himself (though some of his
reasoning is faulty; he presumes that *any*
prosaic explaination *must* be the only answer.)
Although Klass is not above personal attacks, he
nevertheless is an important writer in the UFO field.

fired by Condon when he leaked a confidential
department memo that made it clear that the Condon UFO
Study was a sham.
Charles McGrew: An inside look at the Condon Committee, how
it operated, and why it disintegrated. Also useful
as a case-study of academic investigations in general,
where the "Principal Investigator" takes his salary
and ignores the actual work. (Condon's behavior is
something of a sad joke.)

TITLE: Keely and his Discoveries
PUBLISHER: Secaucus, NJ: University Books, 1972, originally published

LOC: 77-188022
Charles McGrew: Sooner or later, like Tesla, you'll come
across John Ernst Worrell Keely, and his 'vibratory
etheric forces' for generating usable energy. This
book was originally published by his biggest fan, the
author and poet Clara Bloomfield Moore. A new
foreward by Leslie Shepard tells a bit of the "anti"
side of the Keely story. (In sum, opponents argue -
with some justification - that Keely was just a
charlatan; proponents argue that he may have been on
to something anyway.) Still and all, an interesting
look at "para-science" in the 19th century. The
"Keelynet" is named for this fellow.

PUBLISHER New York : Dover Publications, c1974.
Charles McGrew: Charles Fort was a collector of weird and
unusual information, much gleaned from newspaper
stories. He published several books, which are
collected here. A little hard to read, but
interesting nevertheless. The term "fortean" to
refer to investigators-of-the-weird was coined
in deference to him. Fort had some interesting ideas
that translate well into some current ufo-isms; that
the earth is actually 'owned' by non-terrestrial
entities, for instance.

TITLE: The UFO Crash-Retrieval Syndrome: Status Report II:
New Sources, New Data. 1980. Available from MUFON
Charles McGrew: An excellent casebook by Mr. Stringfield of
reports of crashed saucers and recovered bodies.
Although witnesses are anonymous (e.g. "JK", "Carl",
etc.), in accordance with their wishes (Stringfield
makes the comment that rather than treating the
UFO-crash story as newspaper journalists,
investigators should respect their sources identities,
like medical journals do), the information is
compelling and presented without comments beyond the
witness' background and general information about the
veracity. A good read, and an important one. Cases
are rated as "first hand" and "second hand."

AUTHOR: Frazier, Kendrick.
TITLE: Paranormal borderlands of science / edited by Kendrick Frazier.
PUBLISHER Buffalo, N.Y. : Prometheus Books, 1981.
Charles McGrew: This is a book from CSICOP (the "skeptics" version
of MUFON or CUFOS) on various 'paranormal' phenomena.
Its a collection of articles from all the big wheels in
csicop- Randi, Klass, Oberg, plus lesser lights.
From a UFO standpoint, pickings are pretty lean - they spend
more pages on Uri Geller than they do on UFO's. (O'course,
Uri Geller is something of an anti-christ to csicop :-)
Still in all, worth a read. (From my own point of view, I am
wary of any book on the paranormal, of any flavor, that calls
itself "clear-headed," as this one does in its introduction.)

AUTHOR: Steiger, Brad, and Francie
TITLE: The Star People
EDITION 1st paperback printing
PUBLISHER New York, N.Y.: Berkeley Books, 1981.
201 pages, includes index.
Charles McGrew: Mostly a "new age" book; the Steigers contend
that some humans are indoctrinated at an early age by
extra-terrestrial/temporal/dimensional beings (i.e.
"invisible friends" are actually real) who are trying
to move humanity to the next "plane". Unfortunately,
much of the 'evidence' is by extremely haphazard
methods, including dream-analysis and "channeled"
information by Mrs. Steiger. UFO's are dealt with only
in passing; they are a byproduct of the "new-age" stuff,
not as a phenominon in and of themselves.

TITLE: Tesla: Man out of Time
PUBLISHER Englewood Cliffs, NJ : Prentice-Hall, 1981
ISBM 0-13-906859-7 TK140.T4 C47
Charles McGrew: Sooner or later in your UFO readings you will
come across the name of Nikola Tesla (1856-1943), the
electrical wizard. This is "the book" on him (mostly
because its the only one in print.) Tesla was a
genius of the first magnitude. Tesla of course is the
inventor of the Tesla coil, used to this day in all
sorts of electrical devices (and the AC motor, and a
host of other things.) For our purposes, though, it
is the 'urban legend' of sorts that has grown up about
his last years and the "conspiracy" to hide what he
was doing that is interesting -- though he did have a
lot of neat ideas, there is little evidence that, as
some Tesla partisans have said, that he invented
practically everything. (The passion of Tesla
partisans is also seen in some ufologists, and
there is some overlap.) Tesla is also something of
an inventor's hero, since he was in large part an
incredibly gifted amateur, rather than a
"professional" like his contemporary (and compeditor),
Thomas Edison. This book may change some of your
view of the paths of the "march of progress" of the
last 100-odd years.
Gary S. Trujillo: This statement has things COMPLETELY
BACKWARDS! Tesla had degrees in electrical
engineering, and was very methodical in his designs,
while Edison was the tinkerer from everything I've
read on the subject. I suggest you some careful
research before making this statement with such
apparent confidence.
Charles McGrew: (hey, I always get the last word :-) What
did I say about Tesla partisans? I don't want to
get into a discussion of the relative merits of
Tesla vs. Edison; read the book.

government UFO documents. Everything but proof of
crashed flying saucers is here, and it's all from
FOIA-released documents!
Charles McGrew: Well, I wouldn't go that far, but it *does*
make for very informative reading. Fills in a lot
of gaps in what the government has been doing over
the UFO question (as it turns out, a *lot*). Good
narration, good bibliography. This is from CAUS,
(whom Klass has dumped on a lot), and is a fine

Conroy says yes.

TITLE: The UFO Casebook
PUBLISHER New York: Warner Books, 1989. 256pp. ISBN 0-446-35715-4
Charles McGrew: Chock-full of information about famous UFO
cases from 1947 to the 1989. Some cases are shown to
be non-real, some to be perhaps-real, and some that may
need re-examination. Mr. Randle has done an excellent
job of research, looking into Bluebook files, newpaper
records, interviewing witnesses, and analyzing cases.
If you're just starting out in UFOlogy, this is an
excellent book to "jumpstart" you.

AUTHOR: Blum, Howard, 1948-
TITLE: Out there : the government's secret quest for extraterrestrials / Ho>
PUBLISHER New York : Simon and Schuster, c1990.
tclark@umaxc.weeg.uiowa.edu (Terry Clark): Mr. Blum mainly
weaves a tale of how he used his "sources" to track
the Pentagon's establishment of a UFO working group.
He pads out a big chunk of the books middle with a
re-telling of the SETI project. Pretty much a
yawn-er, 2 starships on a scale of five.
Keith Rowell: An important book since it is written by a
former NY Times reporter who has written two other
influential books -- one about Nazi intelligence
officers brought to America illegally after WWII and
the other about the Walker spy case. However, Blum's
UFO book was apparently hastily done and, thus,
somewhat of a disappointment in the UFO research
community.
Charles McGrew: very readable book (the above comment about
padding is correct, though the padding makes good
reading anyway, if you're interested in the early
history of the SETI project.) Details Bill
Moore's shenanigans on behalf of AFOSI, and the
story of how the MJ-12 documents came to light
(there may be a veiled punnic reference to its
source, by referring to the source as a "Good
Samaritan" =?= Timothy Good?)

CCB104@psuvm.psu.edu: Includes some new, unexploited leads
found in no other (?) book to date.
Charles McGrew: unevenly written, and unevenly documented,
but still interersting, if flawed reading. The
authors collect a number of items of recent interest
in UFOlogy (MJ-12, "The Jason Society", a reported UFO
shoot-down in South Africa, Area 51, Bob Lazar, etc.)
into one book. If you want to catch up on all the
buzz, this is a good place to start. I have some
problems with their techniques (one of their
investigators lied about his identity, for instance,
but what the hell...)

Keith Rowell: A minor lay scholar of the Jungian school takes
on the UFO. His history of the field should be read by
all UFO investigators. He suspects there might be a
"real" component to UFOs, but his emphasis is on the
mythic aspects, which may be more important in the
final analysis anyway.

ETI, (that is, it completely ignores the UFO "genre";
the most radical organization listed in its appendix

A good book for a general introduction to current

TITLE: Alien Liaison: The Ultimate Secret
London : Century, 1991.

Keith Rowell: A reliable introduction to the wilder tales
circulating in the UFO subculture in the 70s, 80s, and
90s. The bizarre nature of what is known makes a
prudent investigator reluctant to throw out any
information. Some of this will turn out to be true
after it is put through the academic mill in the 1990s
and beyond. Not for the timid or intellectually rigid.

locate UFOs in the field. Interesting for showing how
a scientifically naive person still understands that
scientific and scholarly proof is what is needed in

proved beyond a reasonable doubt that a flying saucer
-- not a UFO -- crashed in NM in the summer of 1947.
Get off your duff. Prove them wrong!

impelling. Very thorough research.

TITLE: Secret Life: Firsthand Accounts of UFO Abductions
New York: Simon and Schuster, 1992

Keith Rowell: The most important book on UFO abductions so
far. Start here because the presentation is a just the
facts, ma'am, blow by blow account of what Jacobs
believes is happening. He says essential aspects of
all abductions are absolutely real in ordinary
perceptual and space-time reality. However, there are
definite perceptual and space-time anomalies too.
When people report that they had a missing time
experience of two hours, Jacobs says they are actually
bodily missing from planet Earth, or at least human
beings cannot find them on Earth! A warning to
extreme skeptics and debunkers: this book may be
hazardous to your mental health!

Kevin Rowell: Vallee turns away from excessive American

bad over there as it has been elsewhere. The aliens
seem to be equal opportunity abusers the world over.

Charles McGrew: Excellent followup to "UFO Crash at Roswell".
Collecting yet more testimony, the authors resolve
the apparent discrepancies among the various near-
Roswell stories; binding the "Archeologist"
stories into the Mac Brazel story. The story that
won't go away gets more and more detailed.

AUTHOR: Peebles, Curtis
TITLE: Watch the skies! A Chronicle of the flying saucer myth
PUBLISHER Smithsonian Institution, 1994
Charles McGrew: Haven't read it all yet, but this is
definitely an "anti" book. An interesting look
at the phenomenon as a whole (the book covers
the whole phenomenon from 1947 on). On Roswell,
(I always look to see what a ufo survey book says
about Roswell :-) Peebles attacks Moore&Berlitz's
book, and takes a passing swipe at
Randle&Schmitt's (implying that they thought the whole
thing up via the MJ-12 documents -- an amusing, if
pretty indefensible attitude.) Looks to be a Klass
disciple: attack the witness, attack the author,
attack the reader; anything -- after all, we all know
this can't be true...

FROM KEITH ROWELL (krowell@agora.rain.com)
--------------------
UFO Books -- The Serious Literature
Compiled by Keith Rowell
[Please pass this list along intact to anyone who wants a copy.]
This list is a quick guide to the best of the wide range of UFO
books. The literature varies from naive believers to fanatic
debunkers. This list, however, features the people in the middle:
the UFO researchers. They believe genuine UFOs are a mystery
needing a solution. Unlike UFO researchers, the naive believers
and debunkers think alike since they both believe the mystery is
solved. Naive believers "know" genuine UFOs are flying saucers
piloted by space beings. Debunkers "know" it is all just
psychology or perhaps some as yet undiscovered physical
phenomenon. However, when mainstream scholars and scientists
finally accept the challenge of the UFO mystery (which they
haven't for 40 years now), the naive believers will probably be
closer to the truth than the debunkers.
In order to join the debate about the reality of the saucers, you
need to read at least half of these books. If you haven't, you
haven't done the first thing that any scholar or scientist does
-- a literature search and perusal (peruse means to read
carefully, don't forget!). Remember, your opinion is worth no
more than the depth of your understanding of a topic. The UFO,
strange as it may seem to some of you, has a serious literature
devoted it. Yes, it's true, this literature is definitely not
scientific or scholarly in the strict sense of the word, but that
is simply because enough scientists and scholars are not aware of
the problem of the UFO yet. Every year, especially in the
eighties and nineties, more and more scientists and scholars are
turning a serious eye to the problem. This is happening despite the
orchestration of negative opinion promoted over the years by the
intelligence establishment of the US. Sad to say, US intelligence
is part and parcel of the UFO problem. Anyone who ignores this is
just plain naive.

Bullard, Thomas Edward. UFO Abductions: The Measure of a Mystery.

stories are much too internally consistent down to small details to
be classed as traditional folklore or typical dream material.

competent study of over 100 UFO sighting reports, 30% couldn't be

Abductions. New York: Simon & Schuster, 1992. 336pp. ISBN 0-671-
74857-2. The most important book on UFO abductions so far. Start
here because the presentation is a just the facts, ma'am, blow by
blow account of what Jacobs believes is happening. He says
essential aspects of all abductions are absolutely real in ordinary
perceptual and space-time reality. However, there are definite
perceptual and space-time anomalies too. When people report that
they had a missing time experience of two hours, Jacobs says they
are actually bodily missing from planet Earth, or at least human
beings cannot find them on Earth! A warning to extreme skeptics and
debunkers: this book may be hazardous to your mental health!
