Acknowledgments

First, I must thank all the people who have reported their encounters. Without you, there would be nothing to research or investigate, and friendships would have been missed. Second, my publisher and editor, thank you! You have made my UFO obsession turn into authorship once again. Third, my ragtag team of researchers, writers, and UFO maniac friends who share this passion and with whom I’ve had some great conversations: Erik Cooley, Valerie Schultz, Joe Kelly, Josh Powers, Jason Merritt, Brian Thompson, and Kyle Sawyer.

I’d like to thank those who inspired the need to research, investigate, and write about this topic: Stanton Friedman, Loren Coleman, Jenny Randles, Charles Fort, Linda Godfrey, Jason Hawes, Josh Gates, and Michelle Souliere.

And lastly, to my family. I would like to thank my parents and sister and her family for their continued support. And to April and Malik, you make everything better.
