Publisher's Synopsis
Is planet Earth being regularly visited by extraterrestrial
spacecrafts? Was there ever a crash of an alien ship, with the
recovery of bodies of the strange creatures? Have human beings been
abducted by aliens, put through bizarre ceremonies and tests, and
lived to tell about it?
The UFO Invasion:
The Roswell Incident, Alien Abductions, and Government
Coverups, a new special collection of Skeptical
Inquirer articles just released from Prometheus Books, answers
these and other questions with unique, insightful, in-depth
investigations into UFO-related claims that span the years 1947 to
today. This volume, edited by Skeptical Inquirer editor
Kendrick Frazier, CSICOP executive director Barry Karr, and CSICOP
senior research fellow Joe Nickell, details the first "sighting" of
flying saucers in Washington State, the "discovery" of mysterious
debris in New Mexico, and how the two incidents were tied together to
incite national interest and later hysteria through unsubstantiated
and eventually disproved media reports. Since those early days, the
UFO phenomenon has escalated to incorporate claims of abductions,
torturous testing on animals and humans by aliens, crop circles, an
"alien autopsy," and so much more. UFO stories from fifty years ago
are now being resurrected for television, inspiring a whole new
generation of misled believers.
The title of The UFO
Invasion, as editor Kendrick Frazier explains in the
introduction, does not mean alien crafts are landing en masse across
the United States. Rather, it means we are literally being invaded by
thousands of media reports of everything from abductions to government
coverups of UFO "evidence" -- irresponsible reporting that needs
investigation. Containing forty entries from the Skeptical
Inquirer, this book provides the much-needed dose of critical
intelligence and scientific reasoning that has been lacking for so
long in the face of these paranormal claims and the eager
collaboration of many in the media. According to one review in
Booklist, the volume is "...valid and true.... Much to ponder for UFO
fanatics and students."
