Our Review

Opinion of the webmaster, subject to debate

This is an abridged version of Jerome Clark's huge 2-volume UFO Encyclopedia. The original volumes are highly recommended as the definitive UFO reference, but their high price tag ($95 per volume) puts them out of reach of the average reader. Now the best entries are available in this hefy paperback version. At over 700 pages, this "shorter" version is hardly small and is probably the best bargain around. It has instantly become our #1 recommended UFO book. Every major case, investigation and social movement in ufology is covered here, from the airship sightings of the 19th century to Project Blue Book to the Travis Walton case, ending with the Heaven's Gate suicides. (There are a few references to events in the 1990s, but the best coverage seems to be the 1940s through 1960s.) Each entry is 2-20 pages in length and ends with a detailed bibliography. This is a "real" encyclopedia, written in the neutral style of the Encyclopedia Britannica. This abridged version is surprisingly complete and eliminates the need for the full set for most readers. -- Glenn Campbell
