😔Sigh... What if it were true? 👽 What if there is indeed evidence of extraterrestrial visitors from which we are all barred for the forces that are in the US government keep on, term for presidential term, deciding against disclosure. This is a well-written informative piece based on the above claim. Past the middle and up to the end, however, as the writer gets rather speculative, it all becomes emotionally laden and altogether a bit top-heavy on loaded language. Perhaps, for some not at all unwelcome. Some readers may welcome the change after the expository style of the first half.
Be that as it may, the speculations of the author matter most and do indeed make quite a lot of sense. When he, for example, hazards a guess on why extraterrestrials despite all their advanced technology purportedly crash their advanced spacecrafts, and adding insult to injury leave their dead behind, his answer seems quite reasonable. Obviously, the crashed crafts are expendable probes controlled by engineered, cloned - you have it - artificial life-forms.
The author also mentions how he continuously has to endure the mockery of academia.
The writer, and perhaps anybody, that calls him/herself an Ufologist often experiences more than a fair share of unnecessarily acidulous ridicule, usually from 👩‍🔬 👨‍🔬 scientists for what they perceive as substandard scientific methods applied by most UFO researchers. Well, for such scientist I do have a question - Does the proper scientific method ought to include ridicule, then? ( )

Good and short read ( )

It's really a primer-history of the UFO situation since WWII. Yes, an organizing framework is each successive US president, but it's more of an overview of the field & major sightings. Very measured, lots of doubt and 'well, probably not' - as you find in the UFO field as a whole. Skepticism and a lot of effort going into identifying the thousands and thousands of fakes.

I thought it was a great, book and it was perfect for me because I just want an overview of the field. ( )
