"In 1980, a UFO was tracked on military radar in Rendlesham Forest, England. It landed near two of the most strategically important military bases in NATO, and was approached by military witnesses who touched the hull. This explosive new book--perfect for fans of Annie Jacobsen's Area 51, and Leslie Kean's UFOs--tells the full story of this incident, which is set to become better-known than Roswell. Written by Nick Pope, an international bestselling author and former government UFO investigator, working closely with John Burroughs and Jim Penniston, the two officers at the heart of the encounters, this book reveals the first-hand witnesses' full stories for the first time and is is supported by numerous formerly-classified documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act. Burroughs and Penniston are well-known in the believer community and are enthusiastic about promoting the book with Pope. An ex-Ministry of Defense official, Pope is the only government UFO investigator to have gone on the record on this subject. He has a huge US media profile as a UFO expert, making him the perfect person to team with Burroughs and Penniston to write and promote this book. The inside story of these events and their aftermath will change people's perceptions about the UFO mystery and about the true role played by government, the military and the intelligence agencies"--

Do UFOs exist? If they do not exist, why do people report them? Can we believe the reports; indeed can we believe anything? Is human perception reliable, or is it influenced by what we believe? Could the UFO myth determine what we see and report? If UFO reports are distorted by the UFO myth, what is the initial stimulus? In short, what have people really seen? Campbell explains the UFO myth, including its origin and development and how it influences everyone, including those who report seeing UFOs. He also explains how the human perceptual and memory systems can distort reporting and he lists most of the 'sources of deception' which can cause UFO reports. The author fearlessly tackles the most sensational and difficult reports and shows how they have simple and mundane explanations. Reports are explained in an objective and critical manner and it is shown how both believers and debunkers have missed the 'obvious natural explanation'. This handbook is for all serious investigators of UFO reports; it also offers the final solution to the UFO mystery.

"I know other astronauts share my feelings and we know the government is sitting on hard evidence of UFOs!" Astronaut Gordon Cooper: 1985

This volume is more than just another predictable, formulaic examination of a UFO sighting or alien encounter. Rather, the so-called Andreasson Affair is a case of such strangeness that even the most open-minded investigators were at first inclined to dismiss it. Yet it became the subject of an intensive twelve-month investigation that involved testimony given under hypnosis, extensive lie detector testing of witnesses, detailed analysis of corroborative circumstantial evidence, and exhaustive comparison with other such accounts. This enthralling text includes the most detailed description of any UFO abduction experience, Betty Andreasson's precise drawings of her experience, and alleged verification of all events associated with Betty's encounter.

This examination of a case of alien abduction “will captivate, bother, intrigue, and even frighten as one . . . contemplates its implications” (Dr. J. Allen Hynek, founder, Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) Reviews). The Andreasson Affair is more than just a classic example of a close encounter. It is—to use the jargon of ufologists—a case of such “high strangeness” that even the most open-minded investigators were at first inclined to dismiss it out of hand. Yet it has become probably the best documented case of its kind to date, the subject of an intensive 12-month investigation conducted for the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) that involved, among other things, the recording of large quantities of testimony given under hypnosis, extensive lie detector testing of witnesses, detailed analysis of corroborative circumstantial evidence, exhaustive comparison with other such accounts, and much more. The Andreasson Affair includes: The most detailed description of any UFO abduction experience. Betty’s precise drawings of her experience. A supporting foreword to the book by astronomer Dr. J. Allen Hynek. Verification of all events associated with Betty’s experience. This new edition contains a new afterword for a new generation “Something extraordinary happened to Betty Andreasson. Maybe she encountered non-human visitors or maybe something even more strange. Whatever the origin of her experience, her immensely powerful story awed me. Its rich and provocative imagery will remain with me forever.” —Whitley Strieber, author of Communion
