Jenny Randles is a thoughtful and sceptical researcher who writes in a lucid and readable style. In a field fraught with absolute rubbish, nonesense, and out-and-out fabrications, Ms. Randles is a breath of fresh air. Her writing is well-researched and factual, but is open-minded. In short, she writes in a scientific style that is an excellent read. This book is a series of case-histories of 32 so-called alien spacecraft retrievals. As Ms. Randles clearly points out, many of them were hoaxes, or are almost certainly so. The residual ones, especially the Roswell and Rendlesham Forest cases, which are now famous, provide an intriguing and compelling web of corroborated accounts that are difficult to dismiss, as both governments involved have repeatedly tried to do. In the latter case, dogged persistence by Ms. Randles and her colleagues in England, as well as collaborative Freedom of INformation Act inquiries in the US, have unearthed a fascinating and even startling series of events that point to, near unequivocably, the occurrence of some very non- normal, extraordinary happenings just outside a secret USAF base in England during the early 1980s. Everything that the author presents is clearly documented from a variety of sources, and many are from official and unofficial government sources. As a working scientist, I would without question recommend this book to both scientific colleages as well as the lay audience. It will surprise and unsettle those readers who have been willing to write off UFO sightings as mere products of active imaginations. There is something real going on here, and Jenny Randles covers a very difficult subject with aplomb and a critical, but open, mind-set.
