Social media has revolutionized the dissemination of data. It has affected how individuals research and investigate UFO sightings, alien abductions, and alien close encounter events. Social media posts, videos, podcasts, and personal or news websites provide information that otherwise would not have been easily, if at all, available to ufologists in the past. The instant dissemination of a recent Unknown Aerial Vehicle (UAV) or Unknown Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sighting provides researchers and investigators with relevant and timely data they can apply to their own projects. The release of documents related to ufology is spread across the Internet to be used as evidence or a source in an investigation, research paper, or book. The internet, like it or hate it, has had a transformative effect on the field of ufology.
This book is a hybrid of internet research, written primary and secondary sources, and oral history. All three form the foundation of a proper UFO sighting, alien abduction, or alien sighting investigation. Bill Weber and George Filer work together to document the life and UFO experiences George had as a military officer. Bill goes on to document and explain some of the most compelling UFO sightings and events in the field and during his time as a UFO investigator. His review of an event's or investigation's context as well as conclusions are rare in more recent books about this field. This book is a great resource for new or seasoned members of this field to use as a springboard to further their own avenues of study in ufology.
