UFOs and Close Encounters

Asked where he got the ideas for his stories Stephen King replied, "My mother would read me FATE magazine. Which was about the paranormal, flying saucers, and all that stuff. ...and I was fascinated." Now you can read The Best of FATE. UFOs and Close Encounters brings you the story of Unidentified Flying Objects through key reports - from the encounter that started it all in 1948 to 21st century sightings worldwide - selected from the magazine's over 700 issues. Kenneth Arnold, the pilot whose 1949 account launched the modern fascination with flying saucers, shares his story. James A. Harder, professor of engineering at the UC Berkely's metallurgical analysis of UFO remains he says proves they are of extraterrestrial origin. Cambridge historian Harold T. Wilkins's survey of 1000 years of UFO sightings. Authentic personal reports of UFOs seen around the world - and even beneath the seas. Utah State University professor Frank B. Salisbury, PhD's meditation on whether science alone is adequate to explain their existence. Renowned UFOlogist Jaques Vallee on possible extradimensional, psychic or spiritual explanations. Geologist Robert M. Schoch, PhD's hypothesis on a connection between UFOs and Lost Civilizations? You will not find any final answers or solutions-they still don't yet exist, contrary to what some people might tell you. But you will find sensible, clear-headed perspectives on the greatest riddle of our time, as seen by those who know the most about it. And it's a good bet that when the solution is found, it will be due in no small part to the efforts of the individuals who have contributed to this book as contributors to the most thought-provoking publication of all time - FATE magazine.Cover: Frankie Hill DesignsSpecial introductory price $8.99 (Amazon only) normally $12.99
