New media UFO treatments include a Leslie Kean-led National Geographic historical series. Leonard David describes its mission, interview approach, and episode topics. Billy Cox’ Letter to the Editor details a fascinating and sad sidelight concerning “UFOs and journalism.” Gizmodo’s Germain Lussier announces that Matthew Modine Narrates a New UFO Documentary and We’ve Got the First Trailer. Accidental Truth: The UFO Revelations also features interviews with Names You Would Recognize. The President of MUFON Television Ron James wrote, directed, produced, filmed, and edited the film. Then there’s “Close Encounters Down Under” the Series. Aussie researcher Bill Chalker’s description of numerous UFO sighting and weirder happenings underscores the variety of “UAP/UFO events from possibly the best part of the world,” Australia and New Zealand. Great perspective here, and one might hope that six-part series will be available to U.S. viewers. And Nigel Watson reviews two new books in Ufology by Numbers and Of Things Seen in the Sky. Respectively, these are Daniel Coumbe’s Anomaly: A Scientific Exploration of the UFO Phenomenon and Chris Aubeck’s Alien Artifacts: The Forgotten Story of How We Came to Believe in Visitors from the Stars. Watson thinks Coumbe’s effort is noble but flawed, while Aubeck’s work is a “should-own.” (WM)
