What this book explores
A global history of how flying-saucer reports, investigators, institutions, media, and public expectations produced the modern UFO phenomenon after 1947.
Good starting place if…
You want historical context broad enough to distinguish recurring cultural patterns from the merits of any one report.
Know before you begin…
Historical explanation neither authenticates nor dismisses every sighting. The book studies a changing phenomenon and the people and institutions that gave it meaning.
