UFOs: Myths, Conspiracies, and Realities

by John B. Alexander

Alexander sits a bit on his high horse and sounds pretentious throughout the majority. It seems like most of the reviews favor his chapter on the sightings/encounters in which he claims to be based in real evidence and hard fact. I would have to agree with those reviews. After studying the phenomena for over 15 years, I have to say that Alexander is right about somethings and I can appreciate his level headedness. However, there are instances where he contradicts himself and sounds a bit hypocritical. Of course, because I was using this book for research, I did not make notations regarding this and still find him to be credible.

Book Review: Identified Flying Saucers by Robert Loftin

When I picked up this book I wasn't expecting to get a little history of Ufology. I suppose that I should have known that was what I was going to get considering that the book was published in '68. The author touches on sightings as way back as 1860. Actually the book was chock full of sitings and this was the only aspect of the book that made it a little difficult to read. The format Date, Area, Sighting was used in about 30 some pages toward the end of the book. However the sightings listed are perfect examples of further research topics and the reason I am interested in the first place, so I really cannot complain.

One of the biggest points that Loftin makes through out the book repeatedly is "Why would the Air Force spend almost $500,000 of taxpayers' money on this investigation if they knew there was no such thing as a flying saucer or UFO?"

Overall, Loftin provides a very medial view while discussing both sides, public and government sides of the UFO topic.

Loftin passed away a few after the book was published. I took the liberty of adding him and this book to goodreads.com username: highwaycatcher
