Preston Dennett's Masterpiece,
By
This review is from: UFOs Over California: A True History of Extraterrestrial Encounters in the Golden State (Schiffer Books) (Paperback)
UFO's Over California is Preston Dennett's most comprehensive work in the field of UFOlogy to date. While his previous books on this subject focused on one aspect of the subject matter, his latest covers all grounds. From UFO sighting to abductions, extraterrestrial healings to the contactee movement, UFO landings to crashes, celebrity craft sightings to alien implants; everything you need to know about UFOlogy is covered here.
Again, Preston presents the material in a non-biased format; he neither preaches nor debunks; you are given the facts of the situations at hand and left to conjure your own conclusions. Two of the highlights here are the California Airship Mystery and the Battle of Los Angeles, a tremendous UFO encounter during World War II in which the military actually fired upon the craft and in which photographs were published in newspapers at the time. The fact that this monumental event remains obscure boggles the mind, but thankfully Preston presents it in this magnificent volume in full detail. Along with One in Forty: The UFO Epidemic, Extraterrestial Visitations, UFO Healings, California ghosts, Out Of Body Exploring, and UFO's Over Topanga Canyon, UFO's Over California solidifies Preston Dennett's position as one of the most prominent researchers in the field of both UFOlogy and the paranormal.

Great Artwork and Lots of Information,
By
This review is from: UFOs Over California: A True History of Extraterrestrial Encounters in the Golden State (Schiffer Books) (Paperback)
Preston Dennett has done it again. This book contains a great deal of information on the full range of UFO experiences reported in California, including the Topanga Canyon wave, USOs (unidentified submersible objects), the Contactee Movement, abductions, landings and possible crash retrievals, Dr. Roger Leir's implant surgeries and more. The highlight of the book, however, is the art, and this book has quite a lot of it.
Kesara is a talented illustrator and this book contains many of her best illustrations of UFO sightings and alien encounters. To be fair, her artwork is somewhat stylized, which may be why some reviewers did not consider it accurate. However, the images do accurately evoke the feelings associated with the encounter experience, and by comparing her drawings of aliens with her drawings of humans (given that we all know what humans look like), one can "reverse-engineer" them to get a sense of what the aliens might look like without the imprint of Kesara's unique style. The UFO experience is primarily visual (objects and strange beings are *seen* and described by witnesses) so the use of art to convey the experience is important. The book also contains several photographs of craft-like UFOs allegedly seen over California, including reprints of the famous Rex Heflin photos. All told, the book is an important contribution to the UFO literature and although it doesn't really tell us much that is fundamentally new, it does flesh out a lot of information that any serious researcher of the UFO experience might have encountered elsewhere.

Poorly organized information,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: UFOs Over California: A True History of Extraterrestrial Encounters in the Golden State (Schiffer Books) (Paperback)
This book is almost identical to UFO's over Topanga Canyon by the same author.
I found the book to be unorganized and the information to be poorly supported. It just mentions an event with nothing to back it, no scientific proof, no investigation.. something like .. "Wilma from Long Beach saw a UFO over the ocean." So what? Big deal!! Very disapointing. I would NOT buy this again.
