UFOs and Ufology: The First 50 Years - Hardcover
Even though it is half a century since news of flying saucers first made world headlines, we still await any fully recorded, widely observed landing by an alien spacecraft - an event that would surely be the definitive expression of extraterrestrial contact. Those who still look for such an event cover the widest range of our fellow beings - from scientists and journalists to followers of new religions and open skeptics. In this survey, the authors take us on a bizarre 50-year journey that reveals as much about the mysteries of human consciousness as it does about strange things seen in the skies. More and more, the very fabric of ufology seems to be woven from a meeting between the human mind and the mysteries of the cosmos.

From School Library Journal:
YA-While keeping most references to UFOs within the last 50 years, the authors mention unusual sightings as far back as the time of the caveman. These ties to the earliest days of humans become important later on. Incidents and explanations are painstakingly detailed, as Devereux goes to great lengths to prove his logical answers, to present the scientific reasons for the final analysis of the situation, and to make certain that both sides of the story are told. While all of this may be extremely important to serious ufologists, for casual readers it may become overwhelming in some sections. The details prove to be essential to their conclusions, however, as Devereux and then Brookesmith deliver their theories of UFOs based on the years of research they and others have conducted on the subject. The conclusion they reach appears to be a theory not commonly held by the general public and opens up another topic for discussion in this controversial field. For young adults with a deep interest in the subject and with good reading and comprehension skills, this book provides a historical overview and an intriguing look into earth science, space, and the unknown. The substantial bibliography will help establish a research path.
