UFOs and Aliens The Complete Guidebook

"UFOs and Aliens: The Complete Guidebook," by award-winning Tennessee author and Southern historian Lochlainn Seabrook, is the ultimate primer for beginners, an invaluable resource for veteran ufologists, and a one-of-a-kind work that's packed with just about everything you'll ever want to know about extraterrestrials and their out-of-this-world craft. Seabrook writes knowledgeably, with verve and clarity, making the journey through this complex topic both entertaining and educational. Well researched, the book includes detailed descriptions of UFOs and aliens, a history of UFOs, 61 real casebook studies, proof of the reality of UFOs, a list of NASA UFO images, chapters on alien abduction, cattle mutilations, crop circles, Men in Black, skeptics, becoming a ufologist, and the worldwide UFO coverup. Also included: suggested books, DVDs, organizations, and Websites, a UFO sighting form, a useful glossary, and more. Erin Ryder of "Chasing UFOs" and "Destination Truth" calls Mr. Seabrook's work: "A truly remarkable introduction to UFOs that transcends all other guidebooks in the genre " If you're looking for something on UFOs that explains them away as weather balloons, space debris, birds, meteors, Chinese lanterns, light refractions, or secret experimental aircraft, this is not the book for you. Having had his own UFO sightings, Mr. Seabrook respects his topic, writing with the enthusiasm of an open-minded believer rather than with the close-minded bias of a debunker. Still, his approach is essentially scientific, a refreshing position that only adds to the academic value of this engaging and enlightening work. A complete guidebook in every sense of the word, this is a must-have for anyone - particularly those new to the subject - who is looking for an affordable one-volume book that explores all facets of the UFO phenomenon. The Foreword is by Nick Pope, the "Real Fox Mulder," Head of the British Government's UFO Project 1991-1994, and author of "Open Skies, Closed Minds." Back cover blurbs are by nuclear physicist Stanton T. Friedman (author of "Crash At Corona: The U.S. Military Retrieval and Cover-Up of a UFO"), UFO authority Timothy Good (author of "Above Top Secret: The Worldwide UFO Cover-up"), and naval physicist Dr. Bruce Maccabee (author of "UFOs Are Real, Here's the Proof").
