High Strangeness: UFOs from 1960 through 1979 is the third volume in Omnigraphics'
three-volume UFO Encyclopedia series. The volume examines the UFO
phenomenon in all its aspects--sightings, close encounters, investigations, debates,
theories, hoaxes, personalities, symposia--as the controversy was played out in an
extraordinary two-decade period between 1960 and 1979. Together with the two
previous volumes in the UFO Encyclopedia series,
UFOs in the 1980s (1990) and The Emergence of a
Phenomenon: UFOsfrom the Beginning
through 1959 (1992), these volumes present the most comprehensive
and authoritative treatment of UFOs ever published.
CROSS-REFERENCING
As in previous volumes of the UFO Encyclopedia, entries in
High Strangeness are extensively cross-referenced, cross-references are
indicated by boldfaced type. In addition, parenthetical references point to topics dealt
with in either of the earlier two volumes. For instance, the entry on Close Encounters of
the First Kind refers to an entry in The Emergence of a Phenomenon,
and contains a cross-reference to that volume.
DOCUMENTATION
At the end of each entry is a list of source material that includes both the sources cited in the
entry and related material for further reading. Biographical entries list all of the major UFO-
related matter authored by the individual.
CUMULATIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY
A cumulative bibliography listing every source used in all three volumes of the UFO
Encyclopedia appears after the text of this volume. More than 4000 books, articles, letters,
government documents, and other sources of documentation are given in standard
bibliographic form. Each source listed also notes the entry or entries in which it was used,
as well as the volume of the Encyclopedia in which those entries appear.
CUMULATIVE INDEX
A cumulative index covers persons, organizations, and subjects that are discussed in all three
volumes of the UFO Encyclopedia.
