EDITORIAL INFORMATION

In the late 1960's, under the direction of Dr. E. U. Condon, the University of Colorado began a scientific study of unidentified flying objects. The Colorado project (also known as the Condon project), was controversial from its inception, and before issuing its final report had undergone constant media antagonism, staff dissent, abrupt firings, and covert activity.

Roy Craig's experiences as the major field investigator for reported UFO sightings make fascinating reading, both for firm believers in extraterrestrial visitation and those who are most skeptical. He records both detailed descriptions and personal musings of individual cases he examined.

OUR REVIEW

The issue of the UFOs is always controversial. In this book, Roy Craig uses his status as a scientific researcher on this matter to contribute interesting data on what is true and what is false about the UFO phenomenon.

Furthermore, he offers a summary of the history of UFO sightings, that includes such aspects as the involvement of the US Air Force or the cropping up of amateur groups devoted to studying UFOs.

The work is written in a pleasant, agile style, which makes it an easy, amusing read.

In the last chapter, the author states the key questions that make so difficult the kind of space travel to such long distances as those that, theoretically, the extraterrestrial starships should go through. He explains the enormous difficulties such a journey would find. But he also states some revolutionary theories that defend the possibility to travel to the stars avoiding many of these obstacles, and mentions a clear example of how the ideas of the conservationist scientists can be revealed as erroneous before the scientific progress of a few years.

Craig is known as one of the scientists that most contributed to demolishing the hypothesis of the extraterrestrial origin for many of the UFO sightings.
