ABOUT THE BOOK
SWAMP GAS TIMES is a revealing memoir by a journalist who has
covered the UFO field for more than twenty years. This honest,
behind-the-scenes look at how the media handle UFO stories also
examines the dramatic events and major players that have
transformed UFO research in the past quarter century. In a
series of commentaries and updates to articles written for the
New York Times, Omni, Science Digest, Newsweek, and elsewhere,
you'll learn:
-
whether the New York Times and other media organizations
have conspired to keep the truth about the UFO phenomenon from
the public
-
why “60 Minutes” hasn’t pursued the UFO mystery
-
what the government really knows about UFOs (and whether or
not the president has been told)
-
what role NASA has agreed to play in UFO research
-
whether UFO home videos have captured advanced technologies
on tape
-
if crime lab techniques could help finger an alien abductor
-
whether defense satellites have tracked objects not of this
earth
-
what made Carl Sagan think we may have received signals from
an extraterrestrial civilization
-
what the Pentagon says when asked if the military is
involved in “alien abductions”
-
and what those top-secret National Security Agency documents
reveal about UFOs.
