At the Threshold: UFOs, Science and the New Age


Emmons takes a look at the scientists who defy the taboo and study UFOs anyway, as well as the professional debunkers, whom he finds much less objective than their press releases let on. He then examines two reasons not to take debunking claims too seriously: mainstream science is now under attack from many quarters for being too ideological, and some conceptual developments in the new physics may make UFOs much easier to accept and explain, even within a scientific framework. The rest of the book is concerned with the nature of physical and eyewitness evidence and the debate between nuts-and-bolts ufologists and those with a New Age approach.
