Life As We Do Not Know It: The NASA Search for (and Synthesis of) Alien Life / by Peter Ward
Currently a professor of astronomy at the University of Washington, Peter Ward has been closely involved with the NASA Astrobiology committe
e charged with researching the possibility of alien and extraterrestrial life. His latest book takes a hard look at what life on other planets--carbon and non-carbon-based--might be like. Comparing life of earthly origins to simulated "life" created from artificial matter in test labs, Ward goes into great detail hypothesizing on exactly what extraterrestrial lifeforms would consist of, pointing out the conditions which would theoretically comprise their evolution and makeup.

The Roswell Legacy: The Untold Story of the First Military Officer at the 1947 Crash Site / by Jesse Marcel, Jr. and Linda Marcel w/ foreword by Stanton T. Friedman
On July 8, 1947, an unidentified object crash landed in field near Roswell, New Mexico. Initial reports confirmed that it was a "flying disc". Hours later, government officials released a statement claimi
ng it was only a weather balloon. Ever since then, conflicting follow-up reports, witness accounts, interpretations and conspiracy theories have been brought forth. Among the more reputable is the story of Jesse Marcel, Sr. An Air Force Major at the time of the crash, Marcel was the first military officer on the scene and would recount, decades later in a much publicized interview, details of the debris found at the crash site as being otherworldly in nature and featuring graphics and encoding which were indecipherable upon observation. This new book by Marcel's son testifies as to not only the accuracy of his father's experiences, but also the government cover up and hush efforts which have attempted to invalidate his testimony.

Flying Saucers & Science: A Scientist Investigates the Mysteries of UFO's / by Stanton T. Friedman
Professor Stanton Friedman may be the most well-known expert on the flying saucer phenomenon and, subsequently, its correlation to the possibility of extraterrestrial life. With several a
dvanced degrees in nuclear physics and having worked on a number of (very classified) space and rocket propulsion programs, he may also be the most qualified proponent-advocate for the existence of aliens and UFO's. Here Friedman addresses several of the more intriguing questions on topics like the 1947 Roswell incident (he actually wrote the foreword for the preceding book--see above), human-alien encounters and abduction stories, assumptions and reality about the SETI program, whether interstellar travel is conceivably possible, and a myriad of probing concerns surrounding the government's covert involvement in some of the more prominent UFO cases.

Passport to the Cosmos: Human Transformation and Alien Encounters / by John E. Mack
For a period in late 1980's and early 1990's, Dr. John Mack, a psychiatrist and then Harvard professor, conducted one of the more exhaustive studies on the alien abd
uction phenomenon. Interviewing and analyzing countless professing "abductees" along with others attesting to UFO sightings, human-alien encounters and other trans-paranormal experiences, Mack summed up his concluding evaluation in this provocative book, basically leaving the validity of said abduction incidents open for interpretation but asserting that the profound lasting impact it's had on such individuals cannot be dismissed. The complex psychological implications involved and the drastic, transformative nature affecting the individual is too significant to discount; just as the notions some have that we might live in a multidimensional universe can't be chalked up as rubbish due to mere probability and conjecture.
