This is a wide-ranging examination of all things off-planet. The book falls into three sections: 1. UFOs: evidence and belief between 1947 to 1965 Conclusion: Much of the official reaction to UFO sightings was a result of Cold War hysteria. 2. The changing nature of UFO phenomenon from 1965 to present Conclusion: there have been too many reports, too widely distributed and too thoroughly reinforced with photos, video and radar to allow any reasonable person to doubt the presence of extraterrestrial vehicles observing us at close range. 3. Extraterrestrials: Are they real? HUMANOIDS: The case for the existence of humanoid crewmembers seen in and around landed UFOs. ABDUCTIONS: Examines six well-documented abduction cases. Includes the author detailing his own research involvement with the evidence. ABDUCTION PSYCHOLOGY: Refutes the belief that all abductees are mentally disturbed and that a psychological disturbance explains the experience. Science and UFOs: Why the scientific establishment takes a dim view of UFOs and abduction evidence. Extraterrestrial Politics: An examination of how the US government has collected and suppressed UFO evidence. 'Don Donderi has written a splendid book compiling the extensive evidence justifying his courageous and clear conclusion that some UFOs are extraterrestrial spacecraft. His factual and logical approach demands attention as does his impressive Academic and industrial background.His selection of examples of abduction and other cases will help silence uninformed debunkers. A real winner!'  Stanton T. Friedman retired nuclear physicist author of "Flying Saucers and Science" C0-author of "Captured" and "Science Was Wrong"
