Story
Award-winning investigative journalist Ross Coulthart has been intrigued by UFOs since mysterious glowing lights were reported near New Zealand's Kaikoura mountains when he was a teenager. The 1978 sighting is just one of thousands since the 1940s, and yet research into UFOs is still seen as the realm of crackpots and conspiracy theorists.

A prize-winning journalist with a background in neuroscience, Helen Thomson spent years tracking down people who live with the world's most extraordinary neurological disorders - like a man who tried to break his back because his legs no longer felt like his own, and another who believed that he was dead for nine years. Not content to simply read about these cases on paper, Thomson reached out to 10 people with these afflictions, and they agreed to tell her their stories.

In Dimensions, Dr. Jacques Vallee reexamines the historical record that led to the modern UFO phenomenon and to the belief in alien contact. He then tackles the enigma of abduction reports, which come from various times and various countries, as well as the psychic and spiritual components of the contact experience. In the last portion of the book, he notes the factors that inhibit research into the phenomenon - the triple coverup and political motivations - and concludes that the extraterrestrial theory is simply not strange enough to explain the facts.

Of the many books on UFOs and aliens, this one may be unique. Richard Dolan, one of the world’s leading historians of the UFO subject, has analyzed the different alien types and agendas based on longstanding patterns observed by witnesses. This is both a careful review of the best evidence we have of human-alien interaction, as well as a bold speculation of just who the aliens are and what they want. Dolan’s analysis starts with our ancient prehistory and potential genetic modifications and monitoring by extraterrestrials.

What is the nature of unidentified aerial phenomena? Forty years ago a small cadre of dedicated researchers began actively investigating cases, interviewing witnesses, and exchanging data through a small, informal network of international contacts. Today this low-profile network, or "invisible college", has grown into a larger, multination volunteer research effort joined by many individuals. But the questions first raised 40 years ago remain current - and unanswered.

In these lively and fascinating essays, scientists from around the world weigh in on the latest advances in the search for intelligent life in the universe and discuss just what that might look like. Since 2000, science has seen a surge in data and interest on several fronts related to ET (extraterrestrials); AI (artificial intelligence); and SETI (search for extraterrestrial intelligence). The debate has intensified over whether life exists outside our solar system, what that life would look like, and whether we'll ever make contact.

“Provocative and thrilling...Loeb asks us to think big and to expect the unexpected.” (Alan Lightman, New York Times best-selling author of Einstein’s Dreams and Searching for Stars on an Island in Maine)
Harvard’s top astronomer lays out his controversial theory that our solar system was recently visited by advanced alien technology from a distant star.
In late 2017, scientists at a Hawaiian observatory glimpsed an object soaring through our inner solar system, moving so quickly that it could only have come from another star. Avi Loeb, Harvard’s top astronomer, showed it was not an asteroid; it was moving too fast along a strange orbit, and left no trail of gas or debris in its wake. There was only one conceivable explanation: the object was a piece of advanced technology created by a distant alien civilization.
In Extraterrestrial, Loeb takes listeners inside the thrilling story of the first interstellar visitor to be spotted in our solar system. He outlines his controversial theory and its profound implications: for science, for religion, and for the future of our species and our planet. A mind-bending journey through the furthest reaches of science, space-time, and the human imagination, Extraterrestrial challenges listeners to aim for the stars - and to think critically about what’s out there, no matter how strange it seems.

Decent but the title shouldn't make you buy it
The book is OK but I wouldn't purchase it again. My critique is based on the lack of detail regarding competing explanations as to the origin and composition of the object. Yes, the author touches upon alternative theories but he does not devote the required attention to these explanations in a manner sufficient to be objective. Readers are left to their own devices searching for journal articles to obtain this information.

Sales job
I'm a professional in the physical science and I don't like cherry-picked data. Logical inconsistencies are overlooked, statistical analyses that support the author's claims are used but similar lines of thought that can be used to disprove the argument are ignored. Overall, it feels like a sales job. It seems like the author likes the idea, and loves the attention it brings, and since the concept has been pretty well refuted and rejected by the scientific community the author is playing to the masses instead. Science by public referendum is not the best way to assess unexplained phenomena. Additionally, I didn't really enjoy the memoir-esque portions of the book; just wasn't what I was looking for, but this is one dude's opinion. The memoir portions seemed like filler because there isn't enough data to fill the necessary space.

Not the book I thought I was getting
when I first heard of and purchased this book I thought this would be a discussion of Sam Harvard researcher going through bit by bit of the evidence that oumuamua was an extraterrestrial object. what I got instead was the author talking about how brave he is for suggesting something that most scientists would not and the comparisons to Galileo or Copernicus. the evidence was scarce. I found this to be an unsatisfying popular science book.
The performance and narration were well enough but nothing to speak of

Chapter 9 made my head explode
I stopped at the aforementioned chapter to write this review.
One-two combo science and philosophy will knock you into seing the long view of the universe and humanity's place in it.
It is my fondest wish that the determination and hopefulnes of the ideas in this book go viral and stay with us for generations to come, not a good analogy I know, much like some in the book.
If you like Carl Sagan you will love Avi Loeb.
I say yes to looking for alien space junk, yes to a space renaissance lets do it!

Excellent treatise on arrogance of scientific establishment
Excellent book — not only in presenting a solid scientific hypothesis of Oumuamua’s origins but also in exposing the arrogance of the “mainstream” scientific community’s refusal to peer through Galileo’s telescope. One would have hoped the establishment would have learned from notable failures that limited and stalled progress (many of which are deliciously detailed by Dr. Loeb), but, alas, elite arrogance continues to prevent the advancement of science. And Dr. Loeb’s retort to one of the most unfortunate pronouncements of Carl Sagan is pure genius — “It is not obvious to me why extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Extraordinary conservatism keeps us extraordinarily ignorant.” The point — if an anomaly presents itself, we shouldn’t limit our thinking to that which conforms to the expectations of the elite; rather, we should follow the evidence wherever it leads, even if it leads to areas that arrogant scientists would rather ignore and pretend don’t exist. As Dr. Loeb notes as a matter of fact: “Evidence doesn’t care about approval.” However, given the ever persistent efforts of scientists to mold the evidence (ironically, in an intellectually dishonest manner) so that it fits their world view, Max Planck’s “maxim” is the more relevant: (as paraphrased) “Science progresses one funeral at a time.” And this, unfortunately, is the ultimate point. Bravo, Dr. Loeb.

This could be an extremely powerful study of how we should keep an open mind in the face of discovery. However, the author's frequent anecdotes and side road discussion of academia distract from the impact.
It's still worth the read in my opinion.

Weak analysis
It’s arrogant to assume we are alone, but it’s not arrogant to assume that scientists and philosophers are so intelligent that everything we can’t explain in the cosmos could be proof of aliens? Example: we don’t know how life started, so it must be panspermia. Evidence or wishful thinking?
