4.0 out of 5 stars
Informative, good introduction, but not perfect, September 10, 2007
This review is from: The UFO Magazine UFO Encyclopedia: The Most Compreshensive Single-Volume UFO Reference in Print (Paperback)
This book can be used as an encyclopedia, but it is so interesting I just read the entire thing front to back. It looks good and as far as I know it is considered a reliable source of UFO-related information. The only problem I have with it is typing/writing errors. Would it have hurt to have someone check for mistakes?! I opened the book at a random page and immediately spotted one. That is the only reason for not giving it five stars. The book is still good, but not perfect.

a very good, helpful UFO book...., August 20, 2005
This review is from: The UFO Magazine UFO Encyclopedia: The Most Compreshensive Single-Volume UFO Reference in Print (Paperback)
"THE UFO MAGAZINE: UFO ENCYCLOPEDIA" SC
by William J. Birnes(editor).
This is a UFO book. It is an encyclopedia.
The entries are in alphabet order. For example, "A" starts with "A-12 Oxcart", then "Abduction Scenario, Physical Evidence", then "Abductions, indicators of", then "Abramov Alexander", so on and so forth(from A to Z).
This is a very good book. A superior encyclopedia. It is full of different entries. It is complete & helpful. Photos & sketches are also many.
There are also some shortcomings. First, some pages get easily loose, so you need to glue it back; Second, the writing style is a little dense, but it is still easy to read & understand.
These entries are very good(from the book). They are the followings:
. Aurora
. Belgian Triangles
. Bermuda Triangle
. Billy the Kid
. Bonilla, A.Y.
. Brooking Institution
. Canary Island case
. Cash-Landrum case
. Central Intelligence Agency(CIA)
. Central Intelligence Agency, History of UFOs in
. Children of Roswell - the longest, most exciting, & best entry of them all(23 pages).
. Clonaid
. Flight 9, Project Mogul
. Flying Triangles
. Hill, Barney & Betty
. Hypnosis, Abduction Memory Recovery
. Implants, Alien
. Laser Weapons
. Lockheed
. Mars
. Mind Control(MK-ULTRA)

. Ramey Telegram
. Roswell, New Mexico
. Roswell Crash Press Release
. Sarbacher, Robert
. Smith, Wilbert Brockhouse
. Voronezh, Russia
. War of the Worlds, the Radio Broadcast
. Zamora, Lonnie
"Alien Agenda"(by Jim Marrs) is an another very good UFO book. It is very informative & enjoyable.
The contents(some) are the followings.
. "The Aurora Crash of 1897"
. Chapter 1 "The Greatest UFO ?"
. Chapter 4 "The Roswell Crash" & "The MJ-12 Papers"
. Chapter 5 "Giant Artificial Satellites"
