Science and the UFO's - Hardcover
Synopsis
The debate about UFO's has raged for as long as people have stared into the heavens. Yet to this day the scientific establishment has steadfastly refused to engage in systematic study of what they are. This book examines why.
Randles and Warrington establish by detailed case histories of many UFO sightings that unexplained phenomena certainly exist. Picking their way expertly through the maze of misinformation and fantasy, they examine the possible explanations, rejecting the 'standard' view- that UFO's are alien spaceships- in favour of more scientifically based and testable ideas. They suggest ways in which scientific standard should be applied and consider the fruits that such enquiries might yield- and the potential consequences for mankind of explaining the hitherto inexplicable.

From Library Journal
Two British ufologists provide a historical overview of UFO research and discuss the scientific community's growing interest in seriously studying the phenomenon. The authors characterize ufology's past research methods as generally unscientific and its findings as sensationalistic. Citing the need for a more professional approach they include a ``Code of Practice for UFO Investigators'' and recommend the founding of an interdisciplinary scientific institute to study recent sightings. Many of the British UFO cases will be new to American buffs and the annotated bibliography will be useful to those wanting to select the best available literature for further study. Recommended for general collections. Gary D. Barber, SUNY at Fredonia Lib.
