This volume claims that there is a clear conspiracy to deny the existence of UFOs and that the mainstream media has misinformed us for years about legitimate and compelling UFO studies conducted by leading scientists. It alleges that the U.S. government has covered up the alien presence through misinformation, distortion, obfuscation, and ridicule. This book claims to present the most compelling UFO evidence, including a variety of large-scale scientific studies; the current state of ufology and what the future holds; the media's role in disclosure and denial; the government scientists whose job it is to deny; and proof of U.S. Air Force, FBI, CIA, and NSA involvement.

In 1969, the U.S. Air Force issued a statement that read, "No UFO reported, investigated, and evaluated by the Air Force was ever an indication of threat to our national security." Some believe this statement has been proven untrue by the testimony of many military officers and airmen and documentation of incidents involving UFOs, credible testimony of which the Air Force was fully aware. In its effort to discover the facts within the fog of misapprehension, misinformation, and mass hysteria, this volume details many of these high-level eyewitness accounts. The truth is out there, and this examination claims to get to the startling heart of this enduring mystery.

This volume is more than just another predictable, formulaic examination of a UFO sighting or alien encounter. Rather, the so-called Andreasson Affair is a case of such strangeness that even the most open-minded investigators were at first inclined to dismiss it. Yet it became the subject of an intensive twelve-month investigation that involved testimony given under hypnosis, extensive lie detector testing of witnesses, detailed analysis of corroborative circumstantial evidence, and exhaustive comparison with other such accounts. This enthralling text includes the most detailed description of any UFO abduction experience, Betty Andreasson's precise drawings of her experience, and alleged verification of all events associated with Betty's encounter.
