This wide-ranging and captivating book begins with a historical overview of the decades-long debate, followed by an incisive look at the case for and against extraterrestrial intelligence. Danelek presents scientific evidence supporting UFOs and other life-sustaining planets, examines hoaxes, and raises practical objections based on radar findings and satellite observations. Next, he delves into government conspiracies and cover-ups—including Roswell, alien visitation, and alien technology. There’s also intriguing speculation about the alien agenda—crop circles, alien abductions—and suggestions of possible scenarios, both benign and malevolent, for first contact with an alien race.

A native Minnesotan who currently resides in Colorado, Jeff Allen Danelek has been working as a graphic artist and technical illustrator since leaving the Navy in 1984. While he has been writing as a hobby for fifteen years, it is only in the last few years that he began pursuing it as a full-time vocation. Besides writing, his hobbies include military history, religion and spirituality, numismatics (coin collecting), general science and things like Bigfoot and other mysterious beasties, Atlantis, UFO’s and anything that goes bump in the night. An avid reader and careful researcher, he enjoys presenting alternative theories on increasingly popular subjects dealing with the strange and inexplicable world around us.

Danelek has been published in Fate magazine and has also been interviewed by Erskine and Hilly Rose for their radio programs. Mystery of Reincarnation: The Evidence & Analysis of Rebirth is his second book, available now from Llewellyn.
