Condon's debunking summary does not reflect the ac- tual contents of the half million dollar study. Be sure to read Saunder's book along with this one.

The best study of the subject. About 1200 raw UFO reports, all happen- ing within the year and a half of the study's duration, are dissected. 8.8% fall into the genuine UFOs category; that is, flying saucers, whatever they are!

Hobana, Ion and Julien Weverbergh. UFOs From Behind the Iron Curtain. New York: Bantam, 1975. 305pp.

Hopkins, Budd. Missing Time: A Documented Study of UFO Abduc- tions. New York: Richard Marek, 1981. 258pp. ISBN 0-399- 90102-7. Hopkin's first book about abductions. Probably the foremost investigator of abductions, though he's only been doing investigation for 15 years.

Hynek, J. Allen. The Hynek UFO Report. New York: Dell, 1977. 297pp. ISBN 0-440-19201-3 Hynek, J. Allen. The UFO Experi- ence: A Scientific Inquiry. New York: Ballantine Books, 1972. 309pp. ISBN 345-23953-9-150. The father of modern ufology writes a good book about the subject.

Jacobs, David Michael. The UFO Controversy in America. Blooming- ton, IN: Indiana University Press, 1975. 362pp. ISBN 0-253- 19006-1. The only history of the subject so far.

Jung, Carl G. Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Skies. New York: New American Library (Signet), 1969. 144pp. ISBN 59-11766. The title is somewhat of a misnomer since Jung believed that UFOs were psychoid events -- part real and part paranormal.

Keel, John A. The Mothman Prophecies. New York: E. P. Dutton (Saturday Review Press), 1975. 269pp. ISBN 0-8415-0355-9. Speculative book about mysterious goings on around saucers.

Keyhoe, Donald E. Aliens from Space: The Real Story of Unidenti- fied Flying Objects. Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1973. 322pp. The author's last book. He played the same tune in all his books -- coverup, coverup, coverup.

Keyhoe, Donald E. The Flying Saucer Conspiracy. New York: Henry Holt, 1955. 315pp. LC 55-7918. Thinking in the 1980s puts Keyhoe right on the money way back in the 1950s -- crashed saucers and alien bodies do exist and US intelligence is covering it up.

Klass, Philip J. UFOs -- Identified. New York: Random House, 1968. 290pp. ISBN 67-22622. Klass's first book in which a reasonably honest effort is made to offer an explanation for the stubborn 5 to 10% of all UFO sightings that remain unex- plained. Ball lightning is the explanation here.

Klass, Philip J. UFOs -- Explained. New York: Random House (Vintage Books), 1976. 438pp. ISBN 0-394-72106-3. The author starts down the road of "it can't be, so it isn't".

Klass, Philip J. UFOs: The Public Deceived. Buffalo, NY: Prometheus Press, 1983. 310pp. ISBN 0-87975-201-4. Debunker Klass tries to protect the innocent public from being taken in by the errors of mainstream ufologists. Some ufologists now suspect that Klass may be working for U.S. intelligence since he was editor of Aviation Week and Space Technology magazine for years.

Klass, Philip J. UFO Abductions: A Dangerous Game. Buffalo, NY: Prometheus Books, 1988. 200pp. ISBN 0-87975-430-3. Klass's latest attempt to dissuade people from doing honest, open investigation of a confusing subject.

Lorenzen, Coral E. The Great Flying Saucer Hoax: The UFO Facts and Their Interpretation. New York: William-Frederick Press, 1962. 257pp. ISBN 62-10876. One of a number of detailed books about many cases.

Maney, Charles A. and Richard Hall. The Challenge of Unidentified Flying Objects. Washington, D. C.: NICAP, 1961. 208pp. Note Hall's book above. Some ufologists have spent more than 30 years with the subject. Hall has seen many changes in what mainstream ufologists believe is the truth about UFOs over the years.

Mathes, J. H. and Lenora Huett. The Amnesia Factor. Millbrae, CA: Celestial Arts, 1975. 169pp. ISBN 0-89087-023-3

McCambell, James M. UFOLOGY: A Major Breakthrough in the Scien- tific Understanding of Unidentified Flying Objects. Millbrae, CA: Celestial Arts, 1976. 184pp. ISBN 0-89087-144-2. Just the facts, ma'am, approach to the phenomenology of UFOs.

Menzel, Donald H. and Lyle G. Boyd. The World of Flying Saucers: A Scientific Examination of a Major Myth of the Space Age. New York: Doubleday, 1963. 302pp. ISBN One of the author's three debunking books about UFOs. Some ufologists think Menzel, now deceased, was in the know about saucers existing from 1947 on.

Menzel, Donald H. Flying Saucers. Cambridge, MA: Harvard Univer- sity Press, 1953. 319pp. ISBN 52-12419. Menzel's earliest debunking book. Note imprint of the great Harvard U. Who wouldn't believe this distinguished astronomer's thoughts on the subject in the gullible 50s? Now, after Watergate, Con- tragate, the laughable Warren Commission report, etc., people are a bit more cautious about "official" pronouncements.

National Enquirer UFO Report. New York: Pocket Books, 1985. 221pp. ISBN 0-671-54250-8. Rumor has it that the tabloids National Enquirer and World Weekly News have "accurate" UFO stories because the editor (the same guy) of these, in con- trast to all the other tabloids, used to work for the CIA.

Randles, Jenny and Peter Warrington. Science and the UFOs. Ox- ford, U.K.: Basil Blackwell, 1985. 215pp. ISBN 0-631-13563-4.

Randles, Jenny. The UFO Conspiracy: The First Forty Years. New York: Blanford Press, 1987. 224pp. ISBN 0-7137-1972-9. Yet another fine book documenting the growing coverup evidence. How many do we have to have before the mainstream folks wake up? There are three now specifically about the UFO coverup situation.

Rasmussen, Richard Michael. The UFO Literature: A Comprehensive Annotated Bibliography of Works in English. Jefferson, NC: McFarland & Company, 1985. 263pp. ISBN 0-89950-136-2.

Rimmer, John. The Evidence for Alien Abductions. Wellingborough, G. B.: The Aquarian Press, 1984. 160pp. ISBN 0-85030-362-1. Good summary of the topic.

Sachs, Margaret. The UFO Encyclopedia. New York: Putnam (A Perigee Book), 1980. 408pp. ISBN 399-50454-0 pbk. A good supplement to the encyclopedia by Story.

Sagan, Carl and Thorton Page, eds. UFOs -- A Scientific Debate. New York: Norton, 1972. 310pp. ISBN 0-393-00739-1. Appeared shortly after the Condon Committee Report said once again that saucers don't exist so they won't be studied by sci- ence.

Salisbury, Frank B. The Utah UFO Display: A Biologist's Report. Old Greenwich, CN: Devin-Adair, 1974. 286pp. ISBN 0-8159- 7000-5

Saunders, David R. and R. Roger Harkins. UFOs? Yes! Where the Condon Committee Went Wrong. New York: New American Library (Signet), 1968. 256pp. ISBN 68-59202 Read this along with the Condon report.

Scully, Frank. Behind the Flying Saucers. New York: Henry Holt, 1950. 230pp. The first book in English about UFOs. Hollywood reporter talks about crashed discs that have only become plausible to mainstream investigators in the 1980s again.

Sheaffer, Robert. The UFO Verdict: Examining the Evidence. Buf- falo, NY: Prometheus Books, 1981. 242pp. ISBN 0-87975-146-0. Card-carrying member of CSICOP dispenses with ALL the evi- dence even though he's not traveled to the site of a single one of the cases he discusses, well, maybe one or two, maybe.

Stanford, Ray. Socorro 'Saucer' in a Pentagon Pantry. Austin, TX: Blueapple Books, 1976. 211pp. ISBN 0-917092-00-7. Interest- ing story about "hard" saucer evidence getting lost in the halls of NASA.

Stevens, Wendelle C. UFO ... Contact From the Pleiades: A Preliminary Investigation Report (The Report of an Ongoing Contact). Tucson, AZ: Wendelle C. Stevens, 1982. 542pp. ISBN 0-9608558-2-3. The main account of a case that most MUFON investigators think may be a hoax. The case should probably not be dismissed without extensive investigation, however, which MUFON has not done.

Story, Ronald D. UFOs and the Limits of Science. New York: William Morrow, 1981. 290pp. ISBN 0-688-00144-0. An attempt to get the scientific establishment to wake up. Written by a converted skeptic.

Story, Ronald, ed. The Encyclopedia of UFOs. Garden City, NY: Doubleday (Dolphin Books), 1980. 440pp. ISBN 0-385-11681-0. Not to be missed if you are serious about the subject.

Strieber, Whitley. Communion: A True Story. New York: William Morrow, 1987. 299pp. ISBN 0-688-07086-8. This book spent seven weeks at No. 1 on the New York Times bestsellers list. The author was a bestselling horror and environmental fiction author before this "fact" book. Should you believe him? Get a good grounding in the literature and then read Strieber and decide.

Strieber, Whitley. Majestic. New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1989. 317pp. ISBN 0-399-13469-7. This is quite a departure from Strieber's other works of UFO literature. Presented as a fictional account of the activities that came after the 1947 Roswell, New Mexico, disk crash, this book contains many hints that it is supposed to be mostly true. The book is in- terspersed with supposed government documents that Milton Cooper says are actually in the Project Grudge files.

Strieber, Whitley. Transformation: The Breakthrough. New York: William Morrow, 1988. 256pp. ISBN 0-688-07700-5. The fol- low-up book to his best-selling Communion.

Vallee, Jacques. Dimensions: A Casebook of Alien Contact. New York: Contemporary Books, 1988. 304pp. ISBN 0-8092-4586-8. The latest and best statement of Vallee's thesis -- UFOs are a manifestation of a time immemorial alien control system.

Vallee, Jacques. Anatomy of a Phenomenon: Unidentified Objects in Space -- A Scientific Appraisal. New York: Ballantine Books, 1974. 227pp. ISBN 345-24287-4-150. Straightforward descrip- tion of the phenomenon as it was understood 15 years ago.

Vallee, Jacques. Passport to Magonia: From Folklore to Flying Saucers. Chicago: Henry Regnery, 1969. 372pp. ISBN 0-8092- 8330-1. A study of the surprising parallels between fairy lore and modern accounts of UFO beings.

Vallee, Jacques. The Invisible College: What a Group of Scien- tists Has Discovered About UFO Influences on the Human Race. New York: E. P. Dutton, 1975. 216pp. ISBN 0-525-13470-0

Walton, Travis. The Walton Experience. New York: Berkley Publish- ing, 1978. 181pp. ISBN 425-03675-8. A detailed account of an abduction that lasted for days instead of the usual hour or two.
