Inhaltsangabe

“A comprehensive investigation of encounters with unidentified flying objects, all the more riveting because it is both skeptical and scrupulously objective.” ―Kirkus Reviews

For over fifty years, the modern UFO controversy has raged between believers and debunkers, with little input from the scientific community. Now, in a major report commissioned by Laurance S. Rockefeller, an international panel of scientists grills UFO investigators and debates the physical evidence of dozens of cases, including:

• Paris, 1984: Military radar confirms reports of a gigantic disc, more than half a mile in diameter
• Ohio, 1978: An Army Reserve helicopter’s flight-control system is disrupted by an unknown cylindrical object
• Southern France, 1981: Scientists find soil and vegetation evidence at the location of a reported UFO landing
• Texas, 1980: Witnesses to a large flaming object suffer radiation-type injuries

Featuring a focused, sober assessment by a distinguished scientific panel, here is a challenging―and disturbing―inquiry into one of the new century’s greatest mysteries ...

“An important contribution to a popular field infested with misinformation, misunderstandings, and tripe.” ―John Alexander, PhD, National Institute for Discovery Science

“A powerful statement about the nature of the UFO mystery.” ―UFO Magazine

“Many readers will come away from this book convinced that there are genuine questions still to be answered.” ―Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine

“Informative reading ... a hoard of raw information, and some admirably cautious reasoning, from which any reader who already cares about UFOs might be glad to learn.” ―Publishers Weekly
