Summary: A refutation of UFOs
Comment: For any debate, an informed audience must listen to both sides and make a decision based on the information given or acknowledge that we will never know. For each side of the debate, we have to examine the evidence and support to decide if what we are reading is true. This is especially true for the argument for or against the existence of UFOs. This is an emotional argument for some, and this book purports to be the rational approach.

That being said, I thought this book would be an argument for belief in UFOs, alien abductions, and government cover-ups. Admittedly, I based this on the cover of the book. As I read, I realized that the cover was probably not chosen by the authors as the authors were against the belief. So was I reading the rationalists' argument?

This is where I had trouble with the book. I found the argument to be based on an "ad hominem" fallacy. Rather than attack the argument, the book tends to attack the organizations, scholars, and believers of exterrestrial phenomena.

This is not filled with bad information. I found the insight into the organizations and believers to be interesting, but this book, by no means, establishes a solid stance against other-worldly happenings.

Summary: Great scholarly text about UFO phenomena and beliefs.
Comment: This book is a series of articles written by various scholars who are experts in various scientific and social fields or who specialize in UFO investigations. Topics discussed include the impact of hypnotic questioning on the creation of false memories of alien abductions; misperceptions by eyewitnesses; IFO (identified flying object) cases; impact of the media and culture on creation of UFO beliefs and UFO stories; role of psychology in UFO story creation; the development of legends like the Roswell UFO crash legend; and so on. The authors are conservative in their approach and base their conclusions on modern logic theory. This is a great book for scholars or students of logic, psychology, and so on. Would be a good book for a college course on these topics.

Summary: One of the few, good UFO books in print
Comment: Why aren't Donald Menzel's books still in print today? What a shame...

There are hundreds of books for believers, but very few with actual facts. "The UFO Invasion" has the facts.

The only coverup is by the believers... who twist information to fit their preconcieved ideas.

Trust me, you'll learn the truth by reading the works of Klass, Sheaffer, Korff, and Donald Menzel.
