The Title Says it All,

This review is from: Zen in the Art of Close Encounters: Crazy Wisdom and Ufo's (Paperback)
This is one of the most fun UFO books I've ever read. It is not a typical UFO book in that it isn't trying to come up with incontrovertible evidence that UFOs are real, it doesn't purport secret government conspiracies and shadow agencies working with extraterrestrial civilizations for some purpose, nor does it try to debunk the various odd happenings. Instead this is really more of a treatise on zen, using UFOs as a focal point.
It is a collection of essays by quite a variety of people from UFO literature stalwarts, John Mack, Leo Sprinkle and Whitley Strieber to such varied people as Timothy Leary and comedian Gallagher. The essays are well chosen to direct your thinking away from a more black and white idea of UFOs (are they real, are they alien, etc.) more to trying to look at the varied phenomena and see what the phenomena is saying to us. There are essays on a research project looking into crop circles, but there are also essays on what is reality, humorous essays from the perspective of the "alien", cartoons, and even an excerpt from Flatland. While not for someone who is looking for "The Answer" regarding UFOs, this is a thoughtful, challenging, interesting and humorous look into UFOs from a zen perspective.
