Summary: "Echoes Hynek in holding that [UFOs] point to an aspect of the natural world not yet explored by science."--London Review of Books "Seldom has there been such a careful and exhaustive cataloguing of UFOs as historic, modern, spiritual, cultural, and pop myth."--Fortean Times "Thick and rich with historical and sociological references that constitute a scholarly literature of ufology. An outsider will get a thorough introduction to the subject as an academic topic. This includes a reductionist approach to the subject that forms the basis for study by distinguishing between phenomena, experiencers, and the resultant downstream flotsam. Highly recommended."--Choice "Bullard looks at UFOs through his own training as a university professor with a Ph.D. in folklore and comes to many fascinating conclusions. . . . His bibliography is impressive, and the book is a full account of UFO sightings and the development of 'Ufology.' Those interested in the UFO phenomenon will find tons of interesting material to ponder and a different way of looking at it."--Library Journal. |
