Linda Moulton Howe refers to the field of ufology as a "hall of mirrors with a quicksand floor", which is an apt description of the UFO world of intelligence agency disinformation, amateur hoaxes, mind control, advanced military systems, and probably a menagerie of alien beings whose identities and agendas they (and the humans in positions of knowledge) are in no hurry to disclose. "Glimpses" vol 1 attempts to establish a factual baseline, though as with all things ufo, what is fact and what is disinformation is terribly difficult to discern. It seems clear that *something* is going on, that there is *some* level of extraterrestrial activity. For those with the curiosity and fortitude to delve into the ufo morass, Howe's two volumes of "Glimpses" are a must-read.
