Books with author Sylvia Wright

The disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight 370 in 2014 is considered the greatest aviation mystery of our time but it does not stand alone. What happened to the military pilot chasing a glowing unidentified object to make him disappear in an instant?How did India manage to misplace five fighter jets?Did a young Australian pilot flying over the Australian coast really get abducted by aliens?These questions and more are explored in volume 2 of Without a Trace. We explore modern mysteries as recent as 2016, with the sudden disappearance of an Antonov An-32 on a routine courier flight, while the aircraft ahead and behind saw nothing. Each case is laid out in rich detail and presented chronologically, with explanations of technology, aviation jargon and cultural aspects involved in each mystery. Sylvia Wrigley introduces the crews, innocent bystanders and rescuers in this collection of true stories. Documenting the popular theories from each case, she uses her knowledge and experience as a pilot and an aviation journalist to demystify aviation jargon and narrow down each disappearance to the most likely explanations. The stories range from fighter jets to commercial airliners, all of which have vanished within our lifetimes without a trace.

Two out of five Americans report sensing meaningful contacts with lost loved ones. Such contacts are usually comforting - and surprisingly intense. Most do not involve mediums. And unlike near-death experiences, they come unexpectedly to healthy people going about their normal lives. Here are moving, never-before-published stories of apparent afterlife communication, told in the perceivers' own words. Comparing today's Western beliefs with those of other traditions, ancient and modern, Professor Wright opens the door to reasoned discussion about this often hush-hush subject.
