A nearly perfect overview of the UFO phenomenon.

Mr. Craft has been there, done that. This wonderful book gives you a solid overview of the phenomenon like no other I've seen, including Jacques Vallee. Aliens, angels, witches, "demons," the whole sociological/biological/psychological and all the other "-logical" takes are covered here in entertaining and informative detail. There is much more to the UFO phenomenon than you think, and Craft covers most of it. A few areas overlooked by the author are disturbing, since they relate directly to the subject: 1.) mind control technology and players, quite human, who perhaps use "UFOs" as covers for nefarious research and development (a quick cross-reference to the Human Potential Foundation's sponsorship of two Russian mind-control experts for a U.S. demonstration a few years ago, for example), and 2.) an underlying philosophical "darkside" component of the phenomenon that connects through Jungian "volkish" theory (see the book The Jung Cult for exquisite details) right through M.I.T.'s 1970s studies that led to publication of the books World Dynamics, and Limits To Growth, as a basis for manipulation of social myopia concerning "eco-politics." A more comprehensive exploration of some of the high level players, particularly many of the world's social/financial elite would have better rounded out the book. An examination of some affiliated players, from "The Unicorn" to "Heaven's Gate" to the "Solar Temple" would also have provided appropriate background for those seekers who may not realize the potential toxic nature of some of the related phenomena. These are severe oversights. And yet, this book is a great start. I've written two books about UFOs, but would like to have written this one!
