About this title

Synopsis

Do you want to believe? Explore our fascination with UFOs and extraterrestrial intelligence through exclusive interviews, archival photos, and strange but true stories from history.

“We Are Not Alone . . . manages to be highly entertaining and easy to read, yet fair, balanced and thorough.” – Christopher Mellon, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence

After decades of cover-ups and denials, in a June 2021 report, the US government finally admitted what many people already knew: yes, UFOs are real, and no, we don't know what (or who) they are.

Weird historian Marc Hartzman separates documented history from speculation as he investigates the famous sightings, strange encounters, theories, and government investigations that have shaped our ideas about visitors from beyond Earth. Revisit Roswell and Area 51, Project Blue Book and UFO reports at nuclear sites, the Betty and Barney Hill and Pascagoula abduction stories, ancient-alien theories, the mysterious Wow! signal, the interstellar object ‘Oumuamua, and much more.

Packed with archival photographs, exclusive interviews, and firsthand accounts, We Are Not Alone examines not only what people have seen and reported in the skies, but what our fascination with aliens reveals about our hopes, fears, science, governments, and culture. Accessible enough for the UFO-curious and comprehensive enough for longtime enthusiasts, it's an entertaining guide to one of humanity's greatest unanswered questions: Are we really alone?

• Explore famous and lesser-known UFO sightings, eyewitness accounts, military reports, and the changing ways we've tried to explain mysterious objects in the sky
• Revisit legendary cases and controversies alongside government and military investigations and today's renewed interest in unidentified anomalous phenomena
• Examine some of the best-known stories in UFO history, including the Betty and Barney Hill abduction and the Pascagoula encounter, while separating documented history from speculation
• Investigate the scientific side of the mystery, from the famous Wow! radio signal and interstellar object ‘Oumuamua to the larger question of whether intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe
• Perfect for UFO enthusiasts, alien believers, skeptics, science fans, and anyone fascinated by unexplained mysteries

Take a fascinating, fact-filled journey through the history of UFOs, UAPs, alien encounters, and humanity's enduring search for extraterrestrial life.
