Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
For centuries, people have looked into the sky and observed objects they just can't explain. These unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, have sparked many investigations, some by scientists but many by amateur UFO hunters. After numerous probes into the possibility that UFOs regularly visit the Earth, experts remain divided on whether alien encounters have truly occurred.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Two thousand years of alien encounters -- The UFO hunters -- Does the evidence stand up? -- The scientific search for extraterrestrial life.
"The notion that UFOs are real is one that is very much alive in today's society. In fact, sightings of UFOs as well as close encounters with actual alien visitors have been reported for centuries. And for hundreds of years, such sightings were often dismissed by skeptics because the men and women who reported encounters with aliens could provide no evidence other than the stories of their experiences. But starting in the latter half of the 20th century, as audio and video recording equipment became more common in society, evidence of alien encounters could be recorded and analyzed. As a result, such evidence has gained more credibility"-- Provided by publisher.
