Description
Psychologist and researcher Don Donderi examines the evidence and research from the past several decades on the changing nature of UFOs. He looks at why the scientific establishment takes a dim view of UFOs and abduction evidence and examines how the US government has collected and suppressed UFO evidence.
UFOs, ETs, and Alien Abductions is a wide-ranging examination of all things off-planet that falls into 3 sections.
1. UFOs: evidence and belief between 1947 through 1965 and Cold War mysteries
2. The changing nature of UFO phenomenon from 1965 to the present, which makes the case for the existence of humanoid crew members seen in and around landed UFOs. This section also examines six well-documented abduction cases, and includes the author detailing his own research involvement with the evidence. He refutes the belief that all abductees are mentally disturbed and that a psychological disturbance explains the experience.
3. The third section is devoted to a very meaty and controversial analysis of science, politics, and UFOs.

Editorial Reviews
"Don Donderi has written a splendid book compiling the extensive evidence justifying his courageous and clear conclusion that some UFOs are extraterrestrial spacecraft. His factual and logical approach demands attention as does his impressive Academic and industrial background. His selection of examples of abduction and other cases will help silence uninformed debunkers. A real winner." -Stanton T. Friedman, retired nuclear physicist author of Flying Saucers and Science, and co-author of Captured and Science Was Wrong
Reviews
"Professor Donderi has written an excellent study of the UFO phenomenon and the scientific community's reaction to it. He presents a carefully thought out argument for the anomalousness of the UFO phenomenon and for the scientific community to engage with it. His main weapons are solid logic and a wealth of information about the reality of UFOs posed against the scientific community's and government's current lack of concern about them. He casts a wide net putting together UFO reports and sensibly showing how they are anomalous and then creating a reasoned case for their study. This fine book should be read by those familiar with the UFO phenomenon and those who want to learn about it." --David M. Jacobs, author of The Threat: Revealing the Secret Alien Agenda
Reviews
"Donderi's book, UFOs, ETs and Alien Abductions has a title consistent with the content and provides a platform for informed discussion to refine the issues and focus on the future actions." --Robert M. Wood, PhD
Reviews
"A bold summation of the case for extraterrestrial UFOs, which explains why science has rejected these data and tells us how the UFO phenomenon is potentially important for all mankind." --Mark Rodeghier, president and scientific director of the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies
