“Spectres from heaven are rational creatures, and come down from the
fountain of reason, and will therefore deal reasonably with us, by allowing
us a fair opportunity to ascertain the reality of their mission. But for this
examination, the mind is incapable when terrified by a sudden surprise.”
—Reverend Abraham Cummings, 1859

Conclusion
Bibliography
This book is dedicated to the love of my life, April.
You are the reason that I enjoy every single day.
Thank you for supporting (putting up with?)
my strange passion. You are my mainstay,
you are the safe harbor I so desperately need.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
First, I must thank all the people who have reported their encounters. Without
you, there would be nothing to research or investigate, and friendships would
have been missed. Second, my publisher and editor, thank you! You have made
my UFO obsession turn into authorship once again. Third, my ragtag team of
researchers, writers, and UFO maniac friends who share this passion and with
whom I’ve had some great conversations: Erik Cooley, Valerie Schultz, Joe
Kelly, Josh Powers, Jason Merritt, Brian Thompson, and Kyle Sawyer.
I’d like to thank those who inspired the need to research, investigate, and write
about this topic: Stanton Friedman, Loren Coleman, Jenny Randles, Charles
Fort, Linda Godfrey, Jason Hawes, Josh Gates, and Michelle Souliere.
And lastly, to my family. I would like to thank my parents and sister and her
family for their continued support. And to April and Malik, you make everything
better.
