What we have is actually an informative and engrossing look
at the UFO phenomena in all its forms, and from a very serious and rather
believable standing. From case files to hoaxes and all points in between the
author makes what could have been a throwaway lighthearted read into something
which makes one think.
Naturally, if you’re picking the book up, the chances are
you would have more than a passing interest in the notion – or indeed a little
glimmer of hope - that there’s life elsewhere. Over the course of 160-odd
pages, there’s plenty of food for thought, which might not convert the skeptics
but is certainly entertaining and informative enough to keep one turning the
pages.
Among the great chapters there’s some fantastic photographs,
and, as mentioned, the subject of hoaxes and fakes is covered with the same
seriousness and explains in detail how many of the images and videos have been
debunked – naturally one of the main parts of any UFO investigators’ jobs.
Mystical places are touched upon in one chapter, with the
stones at Stonehenge and Avebury as well as Glastonbury Tor being singled out.
The photos used to illustrate the informative text are as enthralling as they
should be. Regardless of one’s viewpoint, it’s certainly a page turner.
It’s a handsome book, which will no doubt keep you returning
to flick through and enjoy time and again. You never know, you may well pick up
some UFO spotting tips with the information given on how to actually go about
being a UFO investigator. Results are not guaranteed, but at least you’ll get
out in the open air.
It sure beats having a dog-eared, grease-stained copy of the
Haynes ’91 Fiesta Manual lying about.
