The Field Guide To UFOs : A Classification Of Various Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Based On Eyewitness Accounts (Field Guides to the Unknown)

Rating:
Summary: Informative, Intriguing, and, Yes, Down-to-Earth
Review: For a thoughtful overview of ufos, entertaining for the devoted ufologist and educational for the beginner, this is a great guidebook to the forms and patterns (I loved the section on flaps) evidenced by unidentifed aerial phenomena. The drawings are amazing, the text is down-to-earth, and these two well-known authors are very informative. Every school library should pick this one up, every parent should buy it for their kids, everyone would do well to buy this for some good bedside reading. After delightfully digesting this book, you will know that we don't have all the answers - and that all ufos are NOT "flying saucers"!

Summary: Required reading for any UFO nut
Review: The drawings categorized in here put things into perspective for ufology.

It allows one to grasp the complexity of the UFO Phenomenon. Most of the famous cases are here. From Kenneth Arnold, Soccoro, Lubbock, Hudson Valley, and other important sightings from hard-to-find resources (UFO journals like Flying Saucer Review, MUFON, IUR, and old magazines, but which still seem credible).

I also recommend Kevin Randle's "Faces of the visitor" and "Sspaceships of the visitors" -- these make a good cross-references.
