UFOs or Unidentified Flying Objects have long been a matter of
great curiosity and interest for the human habitation on the Earth,
particularly from June 24, 1947 when American pilot Kenneth Arnold
reported sighting nine circular objects flying across his
airplane's path in the skies over the state of Washington. His
description of their movements as being like "saucers skipping over
the water" gave birth to the term, 'flying saucer.' However,
objects shaped like cigars, squares, balls, triangles, rings and
hats have also been reported to have been seen in almost every
country, of this huge and diverse Living Planet known as the Earth.
Basically, these UFOs are amorphous and shape-changing objects. The
book consists of an interesting list of UFO Encounters by various
Air Force Personnels and Scientists across the globe, their
experiences, detailed and exhaustive reports, etc. It also has an

thrilling encounters with these strange Alien ships, such as: Close
Encounters of the First Kind (Ce1), Close Encounters of the Second
Kind (Ce2), Close Encounter of the Third Kind (Ce3), Close
Encounter of the Fourth Kind (Ce4) and so on. So friends, this book
will interest and captivate the minds of one and all, irrespective
of age, sex, religion, profession and academic qualification,
