Ashpole E. THE UFO PHENOMENA Headline 1995 Pb 292pp (pages browning) Illus G-VG £4.A scientific look at the evidence for Extraterrestrial Contacts. The author wishes to demonstrate that the extraterrestrial hypothesis for some UFOs is a reasonable one in the light of current science, and seemingly irresistable following certain reported events. A lifetime of work as a science correspondent has set the author firmly in the scientific camp, which he thinks can provide the only way we have of getting reliable and acceptable information. He is not tied to a science establishment and can write freely on this contentious subject. He encourages a more open approach to a major mystery of our time. We do not want to be blinkered by the currently accepted paradigm of science, nor do we want to be carried away by uncritical belief. We are in an area where the maximum scepticism is not only justified but also essential.

Ashpole E. THE SEARCH FOR EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL INTELLIGENCE Blandford 1990 Pb 161pp Colour illus Larger format VG £5. SETI is a science which has only just begun. Yet SETI is today poised at just the right moment to take a great leap forward. Man's electronic ingenuity is providing an accelerating spiral of more powerful yet less expensive capabilities in communications and computing technology - exactly the combination required for SETI. This book is a thoughtful exposition of current scientific thinking on SETI. The author maintains a reasonable perspective. He presents several new ideas of his own. This book should be of interest not only to the general reader but to many scientists as well.

Will they in the years ahead? Many such questions are answered in this engrossing book.

Bryan C.D.B. CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE FOURTH KIND - ALIEN ABDUCTION AND UFOS - WITNESSES AND SCIENTISTS REPORT Weidenfeld & Nicholson 1995 Hb 449pp Dw VG+ £10. A serious richly explicit, riveting investigation into the bizarre world of UFOs and alien abduction. At its centre is a five day UFO conference at the influential and prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the chairmanship of an unimpeachable physicist from MIT and an equally eminent psychiatrist from Harvard. For five days a mixed and motley group of delegates endeavours to get to the heart of the matter. Do UFOs exist? Is it possible to believe that aliens have landed on planet earth and abducted ordinary men and women to experiment on them? The prize-winning author comes to the conference with an open, if ever so slightly sceptical mind. He meets, interviews and listens to the testimony of "ufologists", psychiatrists, researches, hypnotherapists, physicists and folklorists. Interwoven are the experience of abductees, who came forward, often reluctantly, to tell their stories in chilling detail. And in a separate section, the author recreates in depth the close encounter experiences of two women whose stories he tells on the basis of their own conscious memories and what was summoned up during their hypnosis, which he himself witnessed. This is the most thorough book yet written on this subject. It will equally fascinate believers and non-believers.

The author has documented the phenomenon with a selection of the most fascinating cases, accounts which are as gripping as a first-class detective story. He has the unusual gift of being able to throw light on the mysterious, solve the problematical, simplify the complex. He presents completely new material which cannot fail to interest both the believer and the unbeliever. He cuts through the web of prejudice which surrounds the subject to show that while UFOs may not yet be scientifically established, they are undoubtedly a real experience for many people.

The author maintains that it is not enough merely to look at the oddities which archaeologists have not been able to explain away.

When will an international organisation catalogue and classify the thousands of rock drawings from all over the world, many of which seem to depict memories of space visits?

Davies P. ARE WE ALONE? Philosophical Implications of the Discovery of Extraterrestrial Life Penquin 1995 1st Ed Pb 100pp (small tear on back cover o/w G+ £4. Since ancient times people have become fascinated by the idea of extraterrestrial life. Current projects are using radio telescopes to try and "eavesdrop" on messages being sent by advanced alien civilizations. Yet if we do manage to receive such signals, or even discover bacterial life on Mars or in a meteorite, evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial life would confront us with many fundamental questions. Has life spread out from a single source or arisen in several places independently? Is it a "miracle", an improbable accident or an inevitable result of the laws of biology and physics? Is there a purpose, a general trend from simple to complex, from microbes to mind, built into the scheme of things? And what would the existence of conscious and intelligent aliens tell us about ourselves and our place in the universe? For generations, such issues have been classified under theology or science fiction; Paul Davies demonstrates how they are now been illuminated by scientific reasoning and hard-headed research.

Delgado P. & Andrews C. CIRCULAR EVIDENCE Bloomsbury 1989 1st Ed Hb 190pp Well illus Dw G+ Price clipped Contents VG+ £8. In the summer of 1981 Pat Delgado brought to the attention of the national press the existence of some mysterious circular depressions in the fields at Cheesefoot Head, Hampshire. Since then, the sightings of similar phenomena in southern Britain - many of them striking in their symmetry and beauty have transformed initial curiosity into a full-blown investigation. One look at the photographs will suggest why the circles raised so many questions such as, how on earth did they get there? The authors began to compile case studies, conducting interviews with farmers and other witnesses and photographing the formations from hillsides, from the air and in close-up. With every aerial viewing and location visit, every measurement and close examination, more curious details seem to emerge - details of site groupings and of the swirled and flattened circle floor formations, and the fact that scarcely any of the plants involved were damaged. Reports of further anomalous occurrences, mysterious coincidences possibly connected with the circles and related observations from other countries are also included. While theories have naturally abounded since the circles came to light - theories that the team have considered and tested the book does not set out to prove anything beyond the existence of a persistent and compelling enigma in our midst.

Duke N. & Lanchbery E. THE CROWDED SKY Transworld Publishers 1964 Pb 377pp Pages foxing and some browning on edges o/w G £4. Man's longing to fly is as old as history. It was Leonardo da Vinci who first considered the practical problems involved, and from Da Vinci to Colonel Frank Everest, Jr., who in 1956 flew the Bell X-2 rocket plane at nearly two thousand miles an hour, this anthology takes in its stride every conceivable branch of aviation. Included are the first faltering experiments, and the heyday of the balloon and the airship. The first World War brought the greatest single challenge to the improvement of the aeroplane, and is seen here from the points of view of both Allied and German air aces. From the first World War to the Second with its roll of immortal names and finally to peace and the age of jet aircraft. In a section entitled Wings of Peace the editors show that to some, flying is an escape from the cares of the earth and a retreat that gives spiritual solace. So we come up to date with the test pilot, exploring new regions of speed and altitude, and developing test flying into a skilled and complicated science.

When they arrived in Portsmouth, Barney found inexplicable scuff marks on the tips of his shoes, Betty notices rows of mysterious shiny circles on the boot of their car. What was worse, they realised that they could not account for almost 2 hours of their time on the road.

Here is the complete account from beginning to end of the story of Betty and Barney Hill. It includes the actual transcription of the tapes made of their testimony under hypnosis, as well as the sketches they drew, both in and out of trance, of the spacecraft and the humanoid creatures.

Good T. ABOVE TOP SECRET Sidgwick & Jackson 1987 Hb 440pp b&w photographs Dw VG+ £10. (Foreword by Lord Hill-Norton GCB Chief of Defence Staff 1971-73). The author logically, calmly and rigorously examines the evidence. In this sensational book he presents a case which proves beyond reasonable doubt that UFOs are not the figments of crazed imaginations: he has interviewed dozens of convincing witnesses, seen hundreds of declassified government papers. More importantly, perhaps he reveals the extraordinary extent to which politicians in Britain, the USA and Europe have sought to suppress the facts, to dismiss sightings and yet to retain on file reports and documents. Why he asks, should such lengths be taken over hoaxes and delusions .... Earl Mountbatten of Burma was convinced, President Jimmy Carter wrote of a sighting, Winston Churchill demanded an enquiry. Dozens of responsible airmen have testified. A man out fishing one night in Hampshire was invited into a spacecraft and describes it clearly. This book crammed as it is with the testimonies of responsible men and women. This is the most astonishing book about extraterrestrials and their potential threat to our security ever written. It is riveting.

Hennessey R.A.S. WORLDS WITHOUT END - THE HISTORIC SEARCH FOR EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE Tempus 1999 Hb 150pp Well Illus Dw M £16. Is there life, intelligent or otherwise, on other worlds or are we unique and alone in the Universe? This question, now assuming a leading role in science and contemporary culture, is of great antiquity. Its long history has embraced a vast range of interests from the philosophers of classical Greece, medieval theologians and intellectuals of the Enlightenment down to today's cosmologists, UFO enthusiasts and fans of TV space operas. Among the important contributors to this 2500 year old debate are Plato, Aquinas, Newton, Kant, Tom Paine, H G Wells, Sir Fred Hoyle and Francis Crick. This book is the first full length chronicle of the whole, long saga. As a result of this long perspective the author is able to identify the major trends and developments in pluralist theories over the centuries. This well illustrated and accessibly written work thus provides an invaluable background to one of the major debates of our time. It will be welcomed not only by historians, theologians and science fiction readers but anyone who has looked up at the night sky and wondered, as have other down the ages, "Is there anyone out there?".

Hynek Dr J A THE UFO EXPERIENCE - A SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY Corgi Pb 1972 330pp Illus G £3.50. For centuries man has sought an explanation of strange unknown objects seen in the sky, which we now term Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). Official enquiries have been opened and closed with no results, other than a feeble insistence that UFOs do not exist. But do they? Can we afford to blatantly disregard the hundreds of reports made by apparently sane, responsible people who insist, despite all ridicule, that they saw and experienced something completely alien to this world? In this book, the author describes individual cases from the files of Project Blue Book, the USA's official investigation committee, and explains the process of scientific verification which he believes should be employed.

Johnson F. THE JANOS PEOPLE - A close encounter of the fourth kind Neville Spearman 1980 1st Ed Hb 193pp Profusely Illus Dw VG+ £10. Late one night, while travelling in their car on a lonely road in Oxfordshire, a family of three adults and two small children were intercepted by a large spaceship, and were taken on board for nearly an hour, during which the flying saucer made a short trip. They saw on film, how the Janos people lived, their clothes, houses and gardens, boats, lakes and food and vegetation. They watched, in horror, how a rain of giant rocks fell from the sky, as Saton, their nearest moon, broke up and fell in fragments on to the planet, wrecking cities and covering the ground with a layer of immense boulders. They saw a nuclear power station explode as the rocks struck it, and the chain reaction which caused every power station on Janos to blow up, sending great clouds of radioactive dust swirling around the planet. The author, a retired academic with a background in biology and a research interest in the biology of "humanoids". Ufology looks quite different after experiencing this investigation. The story is sensational.

Landsburg A. & S. THE OUTER SPACE CONNECTION Corgi 1976 Pb 164pp Illus b&w G £4. This book contains astonishing new proof that we are not alone in the universe. Why were the Ancient Egyptians so eager to preserve the bodies of their dead? Was it merely superstitious nonsense or did they have a solid scientific reason for their belief in reincarnation? "Cloning" - the process of duplicating an entire being from one cell of an original is not just a theory, but a proven scientific operation. But it may also be the vital link between our Earth and visitors from outer space.

Logan R. THE SIRIUS PAPERS - BOOK 1 2001 Pb 211pp Drawings VG £6.50. There is an inscription inside this book "presented to David Kingston on July 4th 2001 by Ray Logan and Gail Meredith ...". The concepts you are about to read about you may find difficult to accept. Ray Logan found himself to be able to "communicate", telepathically, with an Alien Intelligence which appeared to know far more about us, our planet, with its incredible variety of life-forms than we do. We had waited many millions for the Earth to cool sufficiently to be compatible for the generation of life, life in many diverse forms, all highly intelligent, survival alone, in a harsh environment, requires great intelligence, every species on Earth today has survived, so must, of necessity, be highly intelligent. Our main objectives in our genetic experiments with Earth life was to develop a number of useful species, one in particular humankind which could be genetically engineered to become Masters of Earth, Stewards of Earth. and others which would be exceptionally helpful to these "Stewards of Earth", the Equine species, the horse for instance. We had long before genetically interfered with the dinosaurs, deliberately simply because these gigantic creatures required so much nutrition to jeep their vast bulk in survival mode, they would have eaten themselves out of house and home otherwise, killing off every other species in the process. Branches of the dinosaurs were the ancestors of the Simian species, strands of which, over millions of years, mutated into "early man". The most successful of our "genetic assists" was the creation of the type of humanoid you now call Cro-Magnon Man. So, humankind are hybrids, a mixture of the animal, Simian, and advanced race, us, herein lies your human problem - Advancd/Primitive, God/Animal, Good/Evil. Positive/Negative, every decision a human makes is conditioned by this "duality of intellect....".

Menzel D.H. AND Boyd L. THE WORLD OF FLYING SAUCERS - A SCIENTIFIC EXAMINATION OF A MAJOR MYTH OF THE SPACE AGE BCA/Doubleday & Co 1963 1st Ed? Hb 290pp Illus pages browning Blue boards Dw (several tears and small pieces missing on front cover o/w G+) Contents VG+ for age £20. A first rank astronomer and an experienced science writer dissect the flying saucer craze and find absolutely no evidence that any ships from outer space have visited the earth - as yet. This definite history of the most puzzling sightings of unidentified flying objects during the period from 1947 to 1962 provides a sane scientific explanation of how a particular phenomenon accounts for each category of saucer appearances. Using detailed evidence from the fields of astronomy, meteorology, optics and human psychology, the authors discuss the various types of mysterious objects in terms of normal physical phenomena - planets, meteors, aircraft balloons, clouds, birds, mirages, radar ghosts or in terms of human aberration delusion, fraud and in a few cases, outrageous hoaxes. The authors explain many spectacularly mysterious and controversial sightings and they offer highly probable solutions to several famous UFO puzzles whose cases are not fully understood. VERY RARE

Moore P. WATCHERS OF THE STARS - THE SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION Michael Joseph 1974 1st Ed Hb 235pp Profusely Illus Dw £10. In science the greatest upheaval of the last twenty centuries was that which began with Copernicus, in 1543, and finally ended with Newton almost a hundred and fifty years later. The Earth was unceremoniously dethroned from its proud position in the centre of the universe, and replaced with the Sun. The change was not made easily, and there was strong opposition not only from some scientists, but also from the Church. In this book the author tells the story from the viewpoint of the men who made the revolution possible, Copernicus of Poland, was a quiet scholarly canon who could turn himself into a military strategist when need be, Tycho Brahe, the imperious Dane, had no faith in a moving Earth, but made the successor, the German mathematician Johannes Keppler, to prove that the Earth is indeed a planet travelling around the Sun. There was Galileo, who brilliant, inquiring mind and his lack of tact led him into grave personal danger at the hands of the dreaded Inquisition, and finally to set the seal upon the revolution the great Sir Isaac Newton.

Ridpath I. MESSAGES FROM THE STARS - COMMUNICATION AND CONTACT WITH EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL LIFE Fontana/Collins 1978 Pb 220pp Some foxing o/w G £3. The author is a freelance science journalist, writing regularly on astronomy and space science for New Scientist and the Observer. He is also closely associated with amateur astronomy, and for 7 years edited the astronomy magazine Hermes. Does life exist elsewhere in space? This is the single most important scientific question which we are currently capable of answering and certainly the most exciting. This book is an attempt to tell the story of the search for life in space, a story which should appeal to every human being. The book begins by looking at scientific basis for the belief in life elsewhere in space, and at the attempts by scientists to find such life, either by sending spacecraft such as Viking in search of lowly life forms on the planets of our own solar system, or by listening to radio telescopes for signals from advanced civilizations on planets circling other stars. The book also considers how we might colonize space and travel to the stars, as well as speculating upon the consequences of such actions.

Spencer J. PERSPECTIVES Futura 1989 Pb 246pp Illus G £4. A radical examination of the alien abduction phenomena. This book gives an introduction as you are in your car, beyond the range of its headlights, a long road lies ahead. It is dark and late at night, and you are returning home. You're not dangerously sleepy, but perhaps you're drowsy, the road is monotonous, most of the scenery is shrouded in the night; there are few cars passing you, and even fewer traveling with you. Perhaps suddenly, but more probably slowly, you become aware that in fact there are no cars around you, and there haven't been for some time. The atmosphere seems heavier than it did, and an unusual stillness - even silence around you. Your car seems quieter than it should. Then you become aware that some light is shining on your car. You look around for the source of light, and there above you, you see a bright light that just couldn't be an aeroplane and is certainly too bright for a planet or star. You check on it every now and again keeping one eye on the road and it seems to be pacing you. You check the time and it's still another hour before you get home. And then to your relief, the light goes and you cannot see the object anywhere. Cars are now passing you. When you get home everyone has retired to bed but it's late. You have a quick drink catch a television programme and then retire to bed. You settle into your armchair and turn on the TV. All you get is static and you flick through the stations, but they're all blank. That is when you realise it's later than you think. Then under regression hypnosis your doctor takes you back in time in your memory to that night.

Stanford R. SOCORRO SAUCER Fontana/Collins 1978 Pb 191pp Illus G £4.50. What this book reveals for the first time is that the intelligence community censored the information that at least three items of physical UFO evidence of the Socorro landing were obtained; that Zamora was ordered not to divulge the red "insignia" he saw on the UFO; that an FBI agent told him to deny having seen two humanoids beside the UFO; that the soil at the site was highly radioactive after the UFO's take off but the US Air Force tried to hide the fact. Why was the intelligence community so anxious to cover up the truth? What really happened? What are the secrets people have tried to suppress? The author's answers to these questions will startle even the most seasoned UFO expert.

Steiger B. STRANGERS FROM THE SKIES Tandem 1975 Pb 158pp Pages browning G £4. As "flying saucers" they were ridiculed as the visions of a few cranks. Then they became UFOs, and were treated with respect and concern by eminent individuals and authorities. The US Air Force considers them a "serious business", and astronomers, astronauts and physicists believe in their existence. Now it is time to consider what they are and why they are here and where they come from. Because if they do originate from other planets, it could solve a number of the mysterious events, detailed in this book, when apparently extra-terrestrial beings were reported in association with the sightings of a UFO. And it is not just in the 20th century that UFOs have been sighted. Archaeologists and classical scholars have found numerous references and evidence which point to a long record of visitations by these "strangers from the skies".

Has the universe always existed: will it continue for ever? This book gives up to date answers where they are available and examines the theories where there is only conjecture. The author then tackles the greatest of all space mysteries - are we alone in the universe? He covers the whole range of evidence from well documented sightings of flying saucers in the years directly after World War II, to the Condon Report, and he finally describes how scientists are now beaming messages telling of our existence across the stars in the gigantic Milky Way.

Sullivan W. WE ARE NOT ALONE - THE SEARCH FOR INTELLIGENT LIFE ON OTHER WORLDS Hodder and Stoughton 1965 Hb 1st GB Ed 291pp Some pages foxing VG £6.50. Because this book is written for those with a minimum background in science, the arguments are presented in a manner that some specialists will find elementary. For those who wish to pursue the subjects further, references for each chapter are presented at the back of the book. So rapid are developments in several fields touched by this book that it has not been possible to include some. One of some theories given in this book is that for every visible star near our Sun there are probably about 60 invisible bodies down to the sizes of the earth and Mars. If planetary systems are indeed extremely abundant one might conclude with equal conviction that man is not alone - that his equivalents may occupy hundreds or even thousands of bodies within our galaxy.

Thomas P. FLYING SAUCERS THROUGH THE AGES Tandem 1973 Pb 192pp G £3.50. The reader may be surprised at the numerous references to "notes" in the French Bibles. When writing this book the author made use of several French translations, the Little Bible, The Crampon Bible, and most, of all the Jerusalem Bible. These versions are all officially accepted by the Roman Catholic church, but there are slight variations between them. The progress of astrophysics has enabled our scientists to conjecture that one star in six probably possesses a system of planets similar to those which circle around the Sun, which means, at the very minimum, 300 million systems in our Galaxy alone.

This book examines every aspect of extra-terrestrial phenomena - from flying saucers to alien voices, from space and time distortion to the mysterious powers of Uri Geller. Linking numerous accounts of UFO sightings to their psychic effects on witnesses. This book presents an entirely new and plausible theory on the true nature of the UFO experience. The author reveals that UFOs are not, as believed, agents from some alien intelligence, nor are they products of mass-hypnosis but something even more dramatic - mirrors of a psychic reality originating in the human consciousness to serve and perhaps guide man's needs for the future.

Vallee J. DIMENSIONS - A CASEBOOK OF ALIEN CONTACT Foreword by Whitney Strieber Souvenir Press Reprint 1988 Hb 291pp Dw VG+ £10. A book about close encounters which neither sensationalises the subject nor insults the reader's intelligence. The author is one of the world's most distinguished UFO investigators, has put together a remarkable study of alien contact and drawn some startling conclusions. From biblical sightings by the prophet Ezekiel to current US government and scientific cover-ups of UFO evidence and data, Dimensions is a fascinating, gripping, constellation of voices telling of abduction, face-to-face contact, conversations, and other encounters with creatures and spaceships not of this world. The ancient Tzeltal Indians of Mexico observed half-human being would could fly; the chroniclers of mediaeval France told of men flying on "cloudships"; in 1897 a wave of sightings across the United States reported a marvellous airship and encounters with its humanoid pilots; in 1987 a bestselling author claimed to have been abducted and experimented on by aliens. Dr Vallee spent thirty years researching virtually every claim and theory, and his shocking and provocative view that "alien visits" are neither imaginary nor extraterrestrial will help to change our view of science and mankind itself. This is a monumental casebook of alien contact that challenges every previous UFO theory.

This book describes the author's own attempts to piece together a vast, complex jigsaw puzzle, whose components include poltergeists, lake monsters, ancient folklore, time slips, out of body experiences, mystical awareness and psychic travel to other worlds, as well as allegations of worldwide government cover-ups. It is the most comprehensive bird's eye view of the subject ever undertaken, and the conclusions.
