My Most Influential Books - Vol. 10



As a lad, I was always fascinated by the unexplained. Specifically Bigfoot, but olso UFOs, ghosts, Loch Ness, etc. This book, and Philip J. Klass's book called "UFOs Explained" (1974, Random House) cleared up the UFO phenomena very nicely. Here is the short version: People might be seeing something THEY think is strange, but that doesn't automatically mean it is interplanetary spacecraft. Mundane explanations for so-called phenomena must take precedence over fantastic explanations. If a mundane explanation is likely, then a fantastic explanation is unlikely.
