The team of GordonChism and Richard M. Dolan melds philosophical theory and historicalscholarship to present an easy-to-read, entertaining, and informativework.Chism shares his personal UFO sighting and his struggle with peergroup dismissal. His experience caused him to wonder why people sooften reject new ideas and new perspectives of reality. The bookweaves his conclusions together with researched accounts of worldwidesightings and the government and military response. A key source forthis history was Dolan's 2002 volume, "UFOs and the National SecurityState."The authors recognize that our human centric view of the cosmos isnot serving our planet well. A society based on falsehoods is not theway to move ahead. Acknowledging the truth of UFOs would be a step inthe right direction. As Gordon Chism suggests, doing so might justbring us to a new "Age of Reason."
