Current UFO investigations range from gathering hard evidence in the form of alleged alien artifacts, collecting witness stories through interview and hypnosis and studying a range of strange phenomena.

This Pocket Essential gives details of the best known cases, the most incredible stories and the answers put forward to explain them. A Brief History of Bafflement covers the history of UFO events up to the modern era. From this point individual cases are recounted and analyzed. The alleged crash of an alien spacecraft at Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 is considered as both the most historic event ever to occur on this planet and also as 'a boil on the ass of UFOlogy.' Other cases examine strange deaths, unexplained radar recordings, the scrambling of fighter aircraft to intercept UFOs and the bizarre messages channeled from aliens to humans. The book presents UFOlogy's most Astounding Tales and a series of Cautionary Tales which suggest that the answers we seek may be found in the least likely places. And the author shares one experience in which his accidental stumbling on a major case made him fear for his life...
