The UFO Evidence re-reviewed
The 701 unknown cases from the Air Force's Project Blue Book don't seem to matter to science... just like the reports in this book, which fall on deaf ears. Why is that?

This is a well organzied, technical book packed with TONS of useful information. Hopefully future generations of scientists can make sense of all the data. I'm sure this would be one of the best places to look in search for answers regarding UFOs.

Secondary Sources Limit the Value of this Research
On the surface, UFO Evidence V II. is an extremely facinating read that will leave you amazed and puzzled: what are we to make of all this 'evidence'? And while it is indeed thorough in coverage and apparently much more objective than most UFO studies, it's not saying much. The reason is that the so-called 'evidence' is of little value when not subjected to scientific scrutiny; coming from secondary sources of dubious worth, we are asked to accept it at face value.

To exmplify, using an oft-repated expression favored by Charles Fort when citing so called 'data' of uncertain provenance and specificity from his own favorite sources of 'scientific data' such as newspapers and enthusiat magazines: "For All I Know, the pilot who said he saw this Flying Suacer was drunk to the gills that day!" No wonder scientists can't take the phenomenon seriously.

When I bought this book, having heared of NICAP's reputation, I was expecting primary evidence gathered in a manner similiar to that for Project Blue Book, using rigorous standards of data collection by objective inquierers. Instead I got a rehash of stories from 30 years worth of "Foo-ology" Books.

One of the best reviews of the UFO phenomenon
"The UFO Evidence - Volume II - a thirty-year report" by Richard Hall, is without doubt one of the best reviews of the UFO phenomenon, in the last decade - "a natural history of UFOs" - a worthy successor to the first classic volume from 1964.

Every researcher, skeptic and people interested in the UFO subject would get something out of this remarkable book. It presents a persuasive case for the physical reality of the UFO phenomenon. Richard Hall describes significant patterns and characteristics of the UFO phenomenon in a comprehensive study that brings together decades of detailed research and study of the subject.

If you really want to know the real facts of the UFO subject this would be one of your best starting points. If you think you know it all, this book will provide you with a firm foundation in facts and will perhaps get you thinking about how well you really understand the facts about this controversial subject.

My endorsement comes from the background of decades of research. My own book "The OZ Files - the Australian UFO Story" was published in 1996. I have had a tremendous amount of respect and confidence in Richard Hall's work in this field. "The UFO Evidence, Volume II A Thirty year report" certainly shows why.
