UFOs have been a global phenomenon from the late 19th century to the present day. The UFO Investigator's Manual examines many UFO investigations worldwide by looking at the government reports, both official and secret, that have attempted to explain the "otherworldly". This manual also explains how you can identify a UFO yourself and how to classify an alien encounter--was it of the first, second, third, fourth or fifth kind? The findings of scientific research will also be explored, as will the human attempts at alien communication, and finally, alternative explanations of uncanny happenings coupled with over 200 illustrations.

Elected MP for Londonderry in 1955 as the second-youngest member of the House, Robin Chichester-Clark was at the forefront of Northern Irish politics for almost 20 years during one of the most turbulent periods in its history. A son and grandson of Northern Irish MPs, he held leading positions in both government and opposition, although remaining outside the UK Government when Edward Heath came to power in 1970 because of his brother's position as Prime Minister of Northern Ireland. Heath later made Robin Minister of State for Employment.Standing down from politics in 1974, he followed a dynamic career in politics with over 30 years in active philanthropy, fundraising for the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, medical research, the House of Illustration and the creative writing charity Arvon, through which he came to know such figures as Ted Hughes and Seamus Heaney.
The book explores the landmark alien abduction case of Betty and Barney Hill, which sparked widespread interest in similar experiences across America. It delves into the psychological and sociological aspects of abductions, examining how individuals often recall traumatic events through dreams, nightmares, and hypnosis. By contrasting the perspectives of skeptics and believers, the narrative investigates the historical origins and media influences on these encounters, as well as the contemporary theories surrounding extraterrestrial phenomena and their impact on society.
