Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: UFOs: A Century of Sightings (Paperback)
The book is laid out in a logical manner, and is told from a historical perspective. All the major and famous sightings are there, although some are detailed in a brief way. One thing I appreciated about the book was the readability, the text flowed smoothly and was entertainingly told.
A drawback is sightings from the 1970's onward are sketchy and only very briefly covered if they are covered at all. The bulk of the book concentrates on the time period of the late 1940's through the early 1960's. Recommended if interested in sightings from this time period.
