Seriah Askath praises the recent book The Flying Saucer Investigators, which covers Kenneth Arnold to the end of the Condon Report in 1969. And in this and the concluding installment The UFO Investigator with Charles Lear: Part 2 Askath and author Charles Lear cover scores of the topics and insights in this nearly-300-page work. Both gentlemen emphasize the use of original sources in what Askath notes is a very readable book, and the help Lear received from online and brick-and-mortar archives. In Personal Files Nigel Watson chronicles the topics in and personalities behind Jason Gleaves’ UFO Encounters: Up Close and Personal. With an understandable British emphasis, the entries have UFO researchers and “experiencers” describe the events that brought them into the field. Alan Price says “Maybe” to Jordan Peele’s Nope, in a very nuanced movie review. WARNING: Here and in The Observer’s The Phantom Flyer in ‘Nope’ there are “plot spoilers”! While Price covers the film from a film-critical angle, The Observer sets it into a “UFO-historical” context, and their results make this interesting movie even more enticing. (WM)
