That's the book. Lots of cases briefly but sympathetically
reviewed, with reliability ratings. Roswell gets a 9 (out of 10),
many famous abduction cases rank far lower.

Yes, the intention is very clear. A question, though -- how
carefully were the 150 people interviewed? What's the reliability
rating for each of them? If you include only those you'd rate as
highly reliable, would the variety of alien types look any
different?

Finally, what's the point of referring to these 150
undifferentiated reports? (I'm referring to something in the text
which -- if I remember correctly -- states that 150 people were
actually talked to, quite apart from the many cases catalogued in
the book.) If we're interested to know what UFOs look like,
obviously we don't look at cases where we don't believe the
witness, or when the witness pretty clearly saw something known.
Sure, you can find 150 (or 1500 or probably 15,000) people who
say they've seen all variety of aliens, but how believable are
most of them?
