UFO Books -- The Serious Literature
Compiled by Keith Rowell
[Please pass this list along intact to anyone who wants a copy.]


Berlitz, Charles and William L. Moore. The Roswell Incident. New
York: Grosset & Dunlap, 1980. 168pp. ISBN 0-448-21199-8.  The
facts about the crash of a saucer in the summer of 1947 in New
Mexico and how the US government covered it up. See Randle and
Schmitt, too.

Bowen, Charles, ed.  The Humanoids. Chicago: Henry Regnery, 1969.
256pp.  LC 77-126142. Good summary of the evidence compiled from
material published in the British Flying Saucer Review magazine.

Blum, Howard.  Out There: The Government's Secret Quest for
Extraterrestrials. New York: Simon and Schuster, 1990. 300pp.
ISBN 0-671-66260-0.  An important book since it is written by a
former NY Times reporter who has written two other influential
books -- one about Nazi intelligence officers brought to America
illegally after WWII and the other about the Walker spy case.
However, Blum's UFO book was apparently hastily done and, thus,
somewhat of a disappointment in the UFO research community.

Bullard, Thomas Edward.  UFO Abductions: The Measure of a
Mystery. Vol. 1: Comparative Study of Abduction Reports.
(Bloomington, IND): Fund for UFO Research, 1987. 402pp.  This
study by a PhD folklorist is must reading for anyone wanting to
understand the depth and breadth of the abduction enigma. Bullard
concludes UFO abduction stories are much too internally
consistent down to small details to be classed as traditional
folklore or typical dream material.

Butler, Brenda, Dot Street, and Jenny Randles.  Sky Crash: A
Cosmic Conspiracy. Sudbury, Great Britain: Neville Spearman,
1984. 283pp.  ISBN 85435-155-8. Review and analysis of the facts
in the British Bentwaters-Rendlesham RAFB case.

Clark, Jerome. The UFO Encyclopedia, Volume 1: UFOs in the 1980s.
Detroit, MI: Apogee Books, 1990. 234pp.  ISBN 1-55888-301-0. This
encyclopedia is mostly the author's tour de force, but still
delivers valuable information not easily available elsewhere.
Libraries should have this.

Condon, Edward U. and Daniel S. Gillmor (ed.).  Final Report of
the Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects (Conducted by
the University of Colorado Under Contract to the United States
Air Force). New York: Bantam Books, 1968. 965pp.  After close,
competent study of over 100 UFO sighting reports, 30% couldn't be
identified!  Read Condon's prejudiced introduction only after you
have looked through the rest of the study.  The National Academy
of Sciences rubber-stamped Condon's recommendations that no
public funds be devoted to the study of UFOs.

Conroy, Ed.  Report on Communion: An Independent Investigation of
and Commentary on Whitley Strieber's Communion. New York: Morrow,
1989. 427pp.  ISBN 0-688-08864-3.  This journalist was a boyhood
acquaintance of Strieber. When Strieber published Communion,
Conroy decided to see if his story would hold up under an
investigative journalist's scrutiny. Conroy says yes.

Curran, Douglas.  In Advance of the Landing: Folk Concepts of
Outer Space. New York: Abbeville Press, 1985. 132pp.  ISBN
0-89659-523-4.  Interesting photographic presentation of UFO
folklore.

Deardorff, James W. Celestial Teachings: The Emergence of the
True Testament of Jmmanuel (Jesus). Tigard, OR: Wild Flower
Press, 1990. 323pp.  ISBN 0-926524-11-9. An analysis of some of
the collateral material from the extensive Billy Meier contact
case.

Delgado, Pat and Colin Andrews.  Circular Evidence: A Detailed
Investigation of the Flattened Swirled Crops Phenomenon. London:
Bloomsbury, 1989. 190pp.  ISBN 0-7475-0357-5.  The first of the
picture books about crop "circles".  It's a very good
presentation of the facts and their investigative methods. Some
investigators believe UFOs may produce the "circles".

Druffel, Ann and D. Scott Rogo.  The Tujunga Canyon Contacts.
Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice-Hall, 1980. 264pp.  ISBN
0-13-932541-7.  Good book about abduction/contact experiences.

Eberhart, George M.  UFOs and the Extraterrestrial Contact
Movement: a bibliography. Metuchen, NJ: Scarecrow Press, 1986.
1298pp.  ISBN 0-8108-1919-8.  An outstanding listing of books,
articles, movies, TV appearances, dissertations, conferences,
etc., about UFOs and related phenomena.  No library in America
should be without it.  Ask your public library to get a copy
today!!

Emenegger, Robert.  UFO's: Past, Present and Future. New York:
Ballantine Books, 1974. 180pp.  ISBN 345-24189-4-150.  Good
general book.  Emenegger produced a film documentary of the same
name.  The US government hinted that it would give him some
"real" flying saucer footage for inclusion in his film.  This
didn't happen.

Evans, Hilary and John Spencer (eds.).  UFOs: 1947-1987 -- The
40-Year Search for an Explanation. London: Fortean Tomes, 1987.
384pp.  ISBN 1-870021-02-9.  Similar to the other book by Spencer

ufologists.

Government Coverup of the UFO Experience. Englewood Cliffs, N.J.:
Prentice-Hall, 1984. 259pp.  ISBN 0-13-136656-4.  Very important
book summarizing what ufologists know from studying the thousands
of FOIA-released government UFO documents.  Everything but proof
of crashed flying saucers is here, and it's all from
FOIA-released documents!

edition that it differs from the earlier edition by the addition
of three extra (debunking) chapters.  Without the dust jacket you
would never know there are two distinct editions of this classic
UFO book.  Some UFO researchers speculate that the Air Force/CIA
was displeased enough with Ruppelt's pro-UFO first edition that
they made him include the last three chapters in the "new
edition"!
