"A worthwhile investment for X-Files fans and other enthusiasts who will seek it out for pleasure. The video fan looking for classic science fiction and the student writing a first report on unidentified flying objects also will find it a useful source." - VOYA

From the Publisher:

Examination of these subjects involves consideration of such questions as... are extraterrestrials providing the military with alien technology in exchange for permission to abduct innocent civilians? Are satanists, extraterrestrials or both abducting and mutilating cattle, and for what purpose? Is the human race the result of a breeding experiment carried out by ancient astronauts? Do crop circles contain meaningful messages, or are they just alien graffiti? And, who really are the "men-in-black"? The focus of this volume is on the response of the human imagination to UFOs and aliens.
