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.

Kagan, Daniel  and Ian  Summers. Mute  Evidence. New York: Bantam
    Books, 1983. 504pp. ISBN 0-522-23318-1.  Curious book debunk-
    ing the  animal   (mostly cattle) mutilations that went on in
    the late  60s, 1970s, and early  80s.  The authors don't seem
    to be connected with CSICOP.

    (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.

    1968. 290pp.  ISBN 67-22622.   Klass's  first book in which a

    plained.  Ball lightning is the explanation here.

    (Vintage Books), 1976. 438pp. ISBN 0-394-72106-3.  The author

    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.

    Prometheus  Books, 1988. 200pp.  ISBN 0-87975-430-3.  Klass's

    books about many cases.

    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.

    tific Understanding of Unidentified Flying Objects. Millbrae,

    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.

    York:  Blanford Press, 1987. 224pp.  ISBN 0-7137-1972-9.  Yet

    How many  do we have to have before the mainstream folks wake
    up?   There are  three now specifically about the UFO coverup
    situation.

    ence.

    the Condon report.

Scully, Frank.  Behind the  Flying Saucers. New York: Henry Holt,
    1950. 230pp. The first book in English about UFOs.  Hollywood

    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.

    William Morrow,  1981. 290pp. ISBN 0-688-00144-0.  An attempt

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-
