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.

In 1897, people in western United States began seeing airships in the night skies. Despite abundant reports of sightings from California to Michigan, little explanatory information was given to the public. Speculation arose that the United States government had started a secret flight program or that life from another world had contacted Earth. The implications of each conjecture were staggering, pointing to a major governmental or scientific cover-up that wouldchange the course of history.While this book focuses on the sightings in Texas, it takes into account all of the reports filed. After addressing previous theories of what the airships were and where they came from, Solving the 1897 Airship Mystery puts forth a new analysis, using detailed accounts from period newspapers and other documents left behind. By writing in chronological order, Michael Busby traces the course of the flights that led to the mystery. Included are numerous appendixes, figures, and tables that present the information in an easy-to-handle format.

Book Description: Can the technology behind the UFO phenomenon now be explained by modern physics and by a close examination of the more credible UFO reports? Yes according to the new book "Solving the UFO Enigma: How Modern Physics is Revealing the Technology of UFOs" by Robert L. Schroeder. The idea that a subset of all UFO reports represent advanced craft of extraterrestrial origin has been around for a long time. But only recently has the science of physics developed theories which, when correlated with selected UFO data, point directly toward a likely explanation of this alien technology.Modern physics in its attempt to unify the fundamental forces of nature in a "Theory of Everything" has proposed theories that require the existence of up to eleven space-time dimensions and the possibility of entire universes existing side by side with our own. The author not only shows how physics has evolved to this point but he also looks at the unanswered questions of modern physics such as the origin of inertia, the mystery of quantum non-locality, the Higgs or "God" particle and the puzzle of the relative weakness of gravity.It is these unanswered questions, along with certain conjectures and pertinent UFO characteristics, that when incorporated with the latest cutting edge physics theories look to be the final keys to explaining UFO technology. The book does contain some of the math of the most important historical physics theories. Although the math isn't essential to understanding the basic theme of the book it is there for those who would like an even more in depth knowledge of modern physics.This proposed solution to UFO technology is based on some remarkable and rather exotic physics theories that are currently being tested at the Large Hadron Collider particle accelerator in Geneva, Switzerland. Should these theories prove correct then there is a real possibility that UFO technology is within the reach of our earth civilization. Its development on our planet would open up whole new worlds, both literally and figuratively, to be discovered and explored.About the Author:Robert Schroeder recently retired after 26 years with a major computer company where he was involved in operations and product management. His educational background includes a BA in mathematics, an MBA and an associate's degree in aerospace engineering. He has closely followed developments in modern physics over the years and has researched the UFO phenomenon since the 1960's.Early Reviews of book: "I recommend this book to all readers who are; 1) Scientific adventurers, 2) Technical detectives and 3) Curious thinkers. This book is a classic on UFOs." - Milo Wolff, Ph.D. Dr. Wolff is a retired professor of physics and has worked for MIT, NASA and the United Nations. "As science grapples to understand concepts such as dark matter and hidden dimensions....Robert Schroeder takes the reader on a thrilling voyage of discovery where exotic physics might finally help us solve one of the greatest and most profound mysteries of our time." - Nick Pope is the former head of the British Ministry of Defense unit responsible for investigating UFO reports in the United Kingdom. He served in this position from 1991 to 1994.

The authors present their evidence for alien abductions which, they claim, may have been going on in their own families for many generations.

A voyage of exploration to the outer reaches of our inner lives. UFOs are a myth, says David J. Halperin—but myths are real. The power and fascination of the UFO has nothing to do with space travel or life on other planets. It's about us, our longings and terrors, and especially the greatest terror of all: the end of our existence. This is a book about UFOs that goes beyond believing in them or debunking them and to a fresh understanding of what they tell us about ourselves as individuals, as a culture, and as a species. In the 1960s, Halperin was a teenage UFOlogist, convinced that flying saucers were real and that it was his life's mission to solve their mystery. He would become a professor of religious studies, with traditions of heavenly journeys his specialty. With Intimate Alien, he looks back to explore what UFOs once meant to him as a boy growing up in a home haunted by death and what they still mean for millions, believers and deniers alike. From the prehistoric Balkans to the deserts of New Mexico, from the biblical visions of Ezekiel to modern abduction encounters, Intimate Alien traces the hidden story of the UFO. It's a human story from beginning to end, no less mysterious and fantastic for its earthliness. A collective cultural dream, UFOs transport us to the outer limits of that most alien yet intimate frontier, our own inner space.

The subject of UFOs has been hotly debated. Are UFOs space vehicles from another world? Are they top-secret military aircraft of some kind? Or are they simply a figment of our imagination? Malcolm Robinson is a UFO & Paranormal Researcher with over 40 year's expertise and has had `hands on' experience with each of the cases contained in this book. The full story regarding the wave of UFO sightings over the town of Bonnybridge is given here, as is the full story of Scotland's first `reported' UFO abduction (the A70 Incident) This book presents the most fascinating UFO cases that Scotland has to offer and clearly shows that Scotland as a country has been touched by the UFO presence. This book will leave you with little doubt that mankind is dealing with a very real and bona fide phenomenon, as the witnesses in this book can clearly testify to.
