A LIBRARIAN’S ORIENTATION

What this book explores

A scholar of religion interprets UFO stories through myth, memory, mortality, and his own youthful fascination with the subject.

Good starting place if…

You want a psychologically and religiously informed account of what UFO stories can carry, regardless of their physical explanation.

Know before you begin…

This is an interpretive framework, not a neutral survey of physical evidence. Its account of meaning should not be mistaken for a universal explanation of reports.
