A lil catalogue of alleged extraterrestrial encounters.

Nigel Cawthorne assembles some of the more extraordinary stories to emerge from twentieth-century UFO culture. It's plush with accounts of UFO sightings, abductions, strange aerial phenomena and confrontations with beings apparently not of this world. 

Among the cases explored are the alleged abduction of Linda Cortile from her Manhattan apartment in 1989, the mysterious object witnessed by schoolchildren at Ariel School in Zimbabwe in 1994, and the encounter reported by American George Adamski in the Mojave Desert in 1952. The book also examines recurring features of abduction narratives, including missing time, unusual physical sensations and the psychological aftermath of purported encounters. Fun.
