Alien Contact: The First Fifty Years
Jenny Randles

Marking the 50th year after the first reported sighting (1947), this book balances known fact with speculation, and dispassionate reporting with imagination and accepts "official" explanations with a grain of salt. Intriguing, insightful, and sure to generate arguments. One or two cases for each year from 1947-1997 are summarized and illustrated, with insightful commentary from the author.
