UFO INVESTIGATIONS MANUAL By Nigel Watson:

This latest book from Nigel Watson starts with a good Introduction; it provides a better understanding of what ufology is about, which is essential for any beginner who is thinking of entering this fantastic subject, it is also a refresher to the more experienced ufologist.

The author has taken the time and effort to conduct good quality research which establishes a greater understanding of official UFO investigations undertaken by military departments in addition to him providing explanations for various mis-identifications of UFOs.

The first few pages contain details of the Airship 'wave' in the UK in the 1890s and early 1900s and then goes on to provide information on various cases in the UK and overseas, including the very famous Foo-Fighters enigma, in addition to a brief history of flight.

There are many historical well know UFO cases detailed from around the globe and to complement these, some lesser known ones are included, which are equally, if not more interesting.

A vast array of topics are covered which range from allegations relating to cattle mutilations, alien abductions to allegations of a human/alien exchange programme.

At the end of each chapter the author has conveniently included useful references to assist the reader with obtaining further information or to help them conduct their own research. Also included are many good quality photographs and illustrations which help the reader visualise exactly what the author is writing about.

Overall, this was an interesting book to read.
