A great book

For anybody interested in Roswell, skeptic or believer, this book is a must have!Not only is the Roswell Encyclopedia informative, but's it's also entertaining. It's always fun to go back and discover new things in the encyclopedia. Overall it's a wonderful source for anyone studying this fascinating topic.It was written in a more objective style than Randle's previous efforts, he even refutes some past witnesses, but he shows that there are questions still unanswered.So if you're like me and want to know everything about Roswell, then I highly recommend getting this book. It's Randle's best (and most up to date) work on the subject.

A Sceptic Reconsiders

I've never committed a crime before, but I toyed with the idea when I spotted this book. I wanted to steal it. You see, UFO's have always been outside my sceptical radar, so I didn't want to be seen with it.Why the sudden interest? Well, it all started when I got abducted, so to speak, by the TV series Roswell. I've become an unlikely fan and irresistibly curious. I did pay for the book, by the way, but reading it was still a guilty pleasure. Since it's an A to Z format, it's easy to jump in anywhere and browse. That makes it a fun book to have around for idle moments and idle minds.I began with the B's - as in "Bodies" - and randomly chose this sentence: "Everything (from the crash) had been photographed, tagged and labeled, and all the documents had to be filed by someone. Norma Gardner was that someone." I learn that Norma had top security clearance, and that she claims to have seen alien bodies. She describes them in detail and says she also typed the autopsy reports. Well that got my attention; not to mention the fact that so many sources are military men with long and distinguished careers. Why would they lie?Randle's encyclopedia is as compelling as it is complete. It's everything that's known about Roswell, in one handy reference book - great for newbies like me and for real UFO buffs too. So I'm ditching my pride, embracing the possibilities, and highly recommending this book.
