Synopsis

Nick Pope seeks to bring alien abduction out of the tabloids and into the broadsheets. During the three years he spent as the Ministry of Defence's UFO investigator Pope was frequently caught between helping people who claim to have been abducted by aliens make sense of their experiences, and the Ministry of Defence's official line, which, he claims, is to ignore them. Pope argues that this represents the ultimate failure of defence. He argues that abduction is a terrifying and physically real phenomenon that demands an official response. This study uses many real-life cases in its attack on conventional science and prejudiced officialdom.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

"Has the understated authority a reader would expect from the man who acted as the official investigator into UFO sightings for the British Ministry of Defence. Lacking the hysteria of so many other books on the genre, Pope's report takes the high road."
Publishers Weekly

"A good read, and raises some thought-provoking issues."
Focus, Ministry of Defence in-house magazine

Former UK Government UFO investigator Nick Pope has written the definitive book on the alien abduction mystery, delving into folklore, the contactee movement, and more modern claims that people have not just seen UFOs, but encountered extraterrestrials.

The Uninvited also examines the reaction of governments, and of the scientific community, as well as examining the world's most famous alien contact cases, and highlighting the common threads that bind them together.

Nick Pope devotes a significant portion of the book to detailing a number of cases that he investigated personally, before drawing things together by discussing the various theories that might explain what lies behind this fascinating mystery.
