This review is from: How to Make the Most of a Flying Saucer Experience (Paperback)

I don't know who "Professor Solomon" is but suspect he's a professional or serious amateur magician. Here, in the guise of a "how to" book, is an affectionate and very, very funny look at the contactee movement of the 1950s and its somewhat deformed offspring, the abductee movement beginning in the mid-1960s.

Pioneering contactee George Adamski draws the most attention and the most space, and justifiably so. The discussion of his speckled career here is about the most extensive and accurate currently in print.

"Professor Solomon" has clearly read extensively in the contactee literature, and while I thought I knew it well myself, there are a couple of entries and names that were new to me. After you've read this book you can concoct your very own contact/abduction story, all the bogus "evidence" you need, and all the "teachings, wisdom and profundity" that the wise, friendly space-people wish to share with you... and write and publish your own best-seller. And if instead you are abducted by the unfriendly, bug-eyed space aliens who only want to give you an unfriendly medical exam, you will also learn WHAT THEIR GAME IS! Yes, even their great secret is revealed... I don't want to spoil it here, but it does involve filling out a lot of government forms, and it isn't clear how they cash their checks.

If you appreciate the inherent humor of the field of "ufoolology," you'll get a solid hour or two of good entertainment out of this book.
