Chasing aliens : faith and conspiracy in the UFO heartlands

Lavelle, Daniel2026
Books
The US government has been investigating unidentified aerial phenomena in a secret division of the Department of Defence. President Obama admitted there are things happening in our skies that government cannot explain. A former intelligence official urged the US to disclose evidence of UFOs after saying the government has possession of 'intact and partially intact' alien vehicles. What, exactly, was going on? Setting off on a road trip through the UFO heartlands to get some answers, Daniel Lavelle encounters government whistle-blowers and Harvard scientists who apparently have evidence of extra-terrestrial life, as well conspiracy theorists, amateur fanatics and Starseeds (those individuals who claim to be actual aliens). He talks to those who claim to have been abducted by aliens, attends 'sky watches', as well as venturing into the fringes of the far-right and clandestine ranches run by the Pentagon where the truth is jealously guarded.
