Them

Surprisingly grounded book on various aspects of the UFO phenomenon. It is well-researched and also introduces the reader to the opinions, speculations and conclusions of other well-known researchers in the field such as Jacques Vallee and more. All in all, a well-rounded, quite encompassing and most of all very up-to-date work of non-fiction on a topic that is well on its way to getting its well-known recognition as a serious research item.
