Iâve been fascinated by UFOs since I was a kid, but it wasnât until I met a Martian in 2016 that I started writing about them. To be more specific, I stumbled across a bizarre 1926 article about a man in telepathic communication with a Martian named Oomaruru. I then delved deeper into the beliefs about intelligent Martians at that time. It led to my writing The Big Book of Mars, which touched on the UFO phenomena in the 1940s and â50s. But knowing there was so much more to explore, I began writing We Are Not Alone, which is now my 8th book.
I wrote
We Are Not Alone: The Extraordinary History of UFOs and Aliens Invading Our Hopes, Fears, and Fantasies
Before Leslie Kean co-authored the 2017 New York Times article that brought the Pentagonâs secret UFO research program to the public and shared videos of unidentified aerial phenomena from Navy pilots, she wrote this book.
In it, youâll find written accounts of UFO experiences from the type of people described in the bookâs title. In other words, credible people worth listening to. I had the pleasure of interviewing Kean for my book, enabling me to share the behind-the-scenes of her remarkable UFO-based journalism.

Leslie Kean, a veteran investigative reporter who has spent the past ten years studying the still-unexplained UFO phenomenon, reviewed hundreds of government documents, aviation reports, radar data, and case studies with corroborating physical evidence. She interviewed dozens of high-level officials and aviation witnesses from around the world. Among them, five Air Force generals and a host of high-level sourcesâincludingâŚ

This was the first 1950s âcontacteeâ book I read while researching my book. And itâs a fun one.
Contactees were a group of people in the fifties and sixties claiming to have been in contact with aliensâusually Venusians. Fry gives his account of stumbling upon a flying saucer in New Mexico in 1950 and flying to New York and back in 30 minutes. He flew alone, guided remotely from an alien far above.
In his conversations with the extraterrestrial being, he learned that they were visiting our planet to warn us about the dangers of the atomic age and the possible destruction of earth. Itâs entertaining, and regardless of your beliefs, the alien makes a fair point.
Dr. Daniel Fry, an engineer at White Sands Proving Ground near Las Cruces, New Mexico, is whisked away on a 8,000 mile UFO ride from White Sands to New York City and back. Thus begins his instruction by the extraterrestrial A-lan who wants everyone in this world to understand the truth about our existence and how we can spiritually profit from the beneficence of extraterrestrial contact.
David Halperin is a Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. And an ex-teenage ufologist.
I spoke with him during my research for my book about possible Biblical references to UFOs and aliens. He offers a scholarly perspective on the subject, which you can read much more about in Intimate Alien. The book also follows his personal journey through the subject matter, which began in his youth, and offers fascinating thoughts and insights on this truly unusual phenomenon.
A voyage of exploration to the outer reaches of our inner lives.
UFOs are a myth, says David J. Halperin-but myths are real. The power and fascination of the UFO has nothing to do with space travel or life on other planets. It's about us, our longings and terrors, and especially the greatest terror of all: the end of our existence. This is a book about UFOs that goes beyond believing in them or debunking them and to a fresh understanding of what they tell us about ourselves as individuals, as a culture, and as a species.

George Adamski was another contactee, like Daniel W. Fry. Adamski, however, was perhaps the most vocal of them all.
Heâs the author of several books that recount his meetings with Venusians and other beings from the solar system, but this is my favorite. After all, in this book he gets to fly in several spaceships and describes them all, along with his learnings throughout his journeys. Enjoy the ride.
After decades of cover-ups and denials, in a June 2021 report, the US government finally admitted what many people already knew: yes, UFOs are real, and no, we donât know what (or who) they are. Writer and historian Marc Hartzman separates fact from fiction and provides a comprehensive tour through the skies, including:
UFO sightings, from the famous (including the Phoenix Lights and the Ariel School Incident) to the obscure
Alien abductions, including the Betty and Barney Hill abduction and the Pascagoula abduction
Ancient aliens, from Biblical astronauts to the alien architects behind the pyramids
Scientific evidence, including the âWow!â radio signal and the interstellar âOumuamua object
Cover-ups and conspiracies, including the Roswell Incident and Area 51
Governmental and military reports, from Project Blue Book to reports of UFOs at nuclear weapons sites
