The UFO Enigma: A New Review of the Physical Evidence

by Peter A. Sturrock

Book Overview

For over fifty years, the modern UFO controversy has raged between believers and debunkers, with very little input from the scientific community. The only unclassified, government-sponsored scientific study in the United States was the Colorado Project, which led to the 1967 Condon Report advising the Air Force that further examination of UFOs was useless. Official U.S. investigation came to a grinding halt--while other countries, most notably France, continued with research programs that found dramatic new evidence.

Customer Reviews

Excellent

The phenomenon explained under a scientific microscope. Just the right way to shed light on the UFO mystery. Facts abound. A serious research.

One of the best books about UFO

This is one of the best books about UFO from a scientific point of view. I recomend it for scientific research of this subject.

Commendable but omits valuable research

Until western scientists include the oral wisdom passed down through the ages of indigenous people, our picture of truth will remain incomplete. An excellent book, well worth reading, it nonetheless continues a grave omission about "the people who came before" or the "star people" well known to indigenous "scholars."

Great read

Finally something intensive to read about the scientific evidence of UFO's. I have always wondered why no one seemed to explain the whos, whats, hows and whys of an investigation, just reports of what events took place. It was refreshing to see the extent of the case reviews. The only problem was the terrible low resolution black and white pictures. Surely some color for these type of reproductions would have left me more impressed.

Dard Data on UFOs

Professor Peter Sturrock has done an excellent job in detailing hard scientific evidence that supports the existence of UFOs. Most of the material is derived from a meeting of scientists, both UFO supporters and skeptics, in which the evidence was presented in an even-handed manner. Sturrock's approach is equally even-handed and thoughtful, something sorely missing from most UFO diatribes.This book is a welcome addition to the field and should be read by anyone interested in facts instead of hyperbolie so common to the field. The case studies in the last segment will make any open-minded person take note. The book is highly recommended for anyone interested in the serious study of aerial phenomena.
