Summary: The UFO Investigator's handbook
Review: Boringness is usually in the mind of the beholder so all I could say to ME this book was very interesting.It's also a myth to say "all ufotos are bad" as some try to say;indeed the ufotos in Friedman's book are excellent.(Not saying all are not hoaxes,though.)
Friedman's background in high: A Physicist,with a Master's in physics,(Sagan was his college classmate)(!),and about 31 years researching ufos.
To me its his other books(the Roswell one and Majick one)
that were dull,but even in that Majestic-12("Majick" I called it) book there is alot of scientific data regards the ufo field,making it more interesting.
Further,Stanton Friedman is not an extremist in ufology;we have all to many these days-skeptics especially.
Stanton is probably a "soft-extraterrestrial hypothesis" proponent-stating that "some" ufos are from other planets.
As a qualified ufo-investigator I highly recommend this work.Good ol' Stanton Friedman!

Summary: Glenday's ufo-investigation book;Addenda:
Review: The present writer commented on this book earlier in 2002,as a qualified ufo-investigator with a large ufo organization,and as a resident of California.
Glenday got his blessings from Stan(the Man)Friedmann,that is a reason enough for the book.
It does have certain aspects of ufo-investigation that even some ufo-org.s dont allude to,e.g. the computer analysis of ufo photos.
It also covers most of the areas germaine to ufo field investigating.
If there is one flaw its the idea of contact: given the problems it causes I would highly recommend against it in any way.The rest of the book doesnt have such pitfalls in the ufo territory.
My rec.is that ufo organizations supplement thier field guides with this book.They would actually complement each other in fields.Enough said!
