Encounter at Buff Ledge: A UFO Case History
Several recent books of varying quality have examined UFO abduction cases, but this one by a former senior lecturer at Boston's Hayden Planetarium stands out for two reasons. First, Webb's five-year investigation of this event--which took place in 1968 at a summer camp on Lake Champlain near Burlington, Vermont--is unparalleled for its thoroughness and close attention to detail, including the hypnosis sessions conducted with the primary witnesses and the author's attempts to locate others who might also have observed the UFO. Second, the incident is unprecedented in that neither of the two witnesses spoke with each other for 11 years after the encounter. This fact makes it difficult to label it a hoax or subjective fantasy, especially since there are many similarities in the two accounts. Just one well-researched case like this is worth more than 10 abduction books filled with sloppy investigations.George M. Eberhart
