http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004HFS3WG/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_imgThis book is worth reading even for UFO buffs, of which I have been one since my cousin and I saw two on July 4 weekend of 1954. It contains some lesser-known cases including some I had never heard of, as well as some of the well-known cases. It avoids sensationalism and states the facts briefly and succinctly, though not quite always correctly.One complaint: The author seems to think "redact" means to remove a person's name from a text. It doesn't. It's a back-formation from "redaction," which means to combine two or more texts and try to make them agree with one another. If you ever wondered why the first two books of Genesis disagree with one another, it's because the redactors who first wrote them down disagreed with one another.But that's a small quibble, and all in all, I think the book is worth buying and worth reading. In fact, I think I'll go back and buy his other books.
