UFOs and Close Encounters brings you the story of Unidentified Flying Objects through key reports—from the encounter that started it all in 1948 to 21st century sightings worldwide—selected from the magazine's over 700 issues. In this book, Kenneth Arnold, the pilot whose 1949 account launched the modern fascination with flying saucers, shares his story. James A. Harder, professor of engineering at the UC Berkely's metallurgical analysis of UFO remains, he says proves they are of extraterrestrial origin. Cambridge historian Harold T. Wilkins discusses findings from his survey of 1,000 years of UFO sightings. Utah State University professor Frank B. Salisbury, PhD, meditates on whether science alone is adequate to explain their existence. Renowned UFOlogist Jaques Vallee shares possible extradimensional, psychic or spiritual explanations. Geologist Robert M. Schoch, PhD, considers on a connection between UFOs and Lost Civilizations. Many others share authentic personal reports of UFOs seen around the world—and even beneath the seas! You will not find any final answers or solutions—they still don't yet exist, contrary to what some people might tell you. But you will find sensible, clear-headed perspectives on the greatest riddle of our time, as seen by those who know the most about it. And it's a good bet that when the solution is found, it will be due in no small part to the efforts of the individuals whose testimonies you'll find in these pages...and those of the most thought-provoking publication of all time—FATE magazine.
