Recommendations for UFO books, videos, etc
Chuck’s out sick this week, so I’ve got a mini-episode for you. If you’ve enjoyed the topic so far, you might be interested in going a bit further. If so, here are some books, TV series, documentaries, and podcasts that I’d recommend.
Books
- In Plain Sight: An investigation into UFOs and impossible science by Ross Coulthart, 2021 — Came out just before 2021 UAP report, feels like a good summary
- UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record by Leslie Kean, 2010 — Covers nuts-and-bolts credible witnesses
- The Believer: Alien Encounters, Hard Science, and the Passion of John Mack by Ralph Blumenthal, 2021 — Explores how a well respected Harvard psychiatrist risked his career to study abductees and experiencers
- Sekret Machines: Chasing Shadows (fiction) by Tom DeLonge and A.J. Hartley, 2016 — Interesting insight into what Tom believes. NOT recommended: Sekret Machines non-fiction series
Series
- Unidentified: Inside America’s UFO Investigation , by History Channel, 2019 — The TTSA series focused on Lue Elizondo and Chris Mellon
- Hangar 1: The UFO Files , by History Channel, 2014 — Netflix series that goes over famous cases in MUFON files
- UFO by JJ Abrams, 2021 — A four-part Showtime series, good summary
Documentaries
