Product Description

This book entails the life of one who has not only become internationally respected as a UFO investigator and author but now as a so-called UFO abductee. It is strikingly different from other works dealing with UFO abductions in that it will provide an overview of the complete life of an abductee from early childhood to sunset years of his life. The exciting descriptions of UFO sightings, investigations and documentation would be worthy of a book themselves. The Chief Scientific Consultant for the USAF UFO Project Bluebook, Astronomer Dr. Hynek is on record as stating: “Raymond Fowler…whose meticulous and detailed investigations …far exceed the investigations of Bluebook.” However, this book is about much more than investigating UFO sightings. Throughout the warp and weft of the author’s UFO and paranormal experiences is the slow but sure realization that he has been investigated since childhood by the very phenomenon he was investigating!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fascinating Biography and Resume of a Famed UFOlogist, August 20, 2006

By	thebinkle "jeanmank" (McVeytown, PA United States) - See all my reviews

Ray Fowler seems like the type of man I'd feel very comfortable sitting down to dinner with; even more comfortable than even Whitley Strieber, of whom I am a huge fan. Ray has no pretensions or knee-jerk emotional reactions to things like Mr. Strieber, who has a checkered relationship with the media. Ray tells it like it is, DESPITE THE FACT that, unlike Mr. Strieber, he is ABSOLUTELY NO SUPPORT FROM HIS OWN FAMILY. They are fundamentalist Christians who feel their own husband/father is being attacked by "demons." His own daughter won't allow his grandchildren to visit them at his home. A pity, because he had previously agreed not to discuss his interests with them. The book is fascinating! It details Mr. Fowler's entiring career as a UFOlogist, beginning with his initial big break working for J. Allen Hynek. With great humor and humility, Fowler summarizes some of his greatest cases, including the Beverly, MA sightings in 1966, and of course his ground-breaking work with Betty Andreasson Luca. Best of all, he tells of how he came to terms with the unsettling realization that he himself was an abductee, going back to childhood! This is a good "beginner" book for the works of Ray Fowler, sort of a "Cliff Notes." Then you can go back and get the individual works, starting with "UFOs: Interplantary Visitors" and work your way up from there. You won't be dissapointed.
