Essential Reading in Ufology?

[SolarSailor]

For someone looking to get deeper into ufology research what would you say are the canonical books a researcher should read for a good breadth of subject knowledge and that the information is as good as can be from a credibility standpoint?

Excellent I will order that one straight away. I find Triangles to be the most interesting UFO's after a sighting me and my family had in the late 90's

There are some suggestions on this recent thread: What five books would you recommend to a newbie? What about documentaries? | The Paracast Community Forums

I would say to start from an historical perspective of the phenomenon, which is considered to have begun (in the modern era anyway) sometime around or just after WWII, and work outward from there. Two of my favorite authors on the subject are the late J. Allen Hynek, and Jaques Vallee. Opinions, of course, will vary. I would also steer clear of any author who claims to have definitive and concrete answers to this mystery.

Books, articles, and reports at the NICAP website (includes online texts of early books concerning ufos) at
Official NICAP Web Site



The COMETA Report, available online.

Robert Hastings, UFOs and Nukes, articles and book at
Robert Hastings • UFOs and Nuclear Weapons
