After David Grusch's claims about the UAP crash near Magenta, Italy I decided to do a little research. This lead me to Roberto Pinotti's books "UFO Contacts in Italy". They're a chronological collection of UAP sightings and encounters in Italy that he has researched. Most of the entries are written as just the facts and recountings of witnesses, but he occasionally brings in his own thoughts on the events and ties stories together. I often gravitate to collections of encounters or stories, so I really enjoyed these.
Along those lines, "The Field Guide to Extraterrestrials" and "The Field Guide To UFOs" by Patrick Huyghe and Dennis W. Stacy were my go to as a kid. They're not the most substantial, but they're nice illustrated guides to encounters/sightings with descriptions and a brief few pages per event. I believe they're out of print, but I had to plug them just for getting me started on researching the subject.
On the edge of UAP/Non Human Intelligence is John Keel, best known for "The Mothman Prophecies". His book "The Eighth Tower: On Ultraterrestrials and the Superspectrum" is an interesting take on the phenomenon. It suggests potential ways NHI have shaped human culture throughout history. The concept revolves around existence of beings on different spectrums/wavelengths. While not technically extradimensional, it shares a lot of the same ideas. It's a little out there, but there is good research behind his ideas.
And, if you want to focus on science that could lend to the phenomenon, Michio Kaku has some great books on theoretical physics. "Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the 10th Dimension" covered space travel, time travel, interdimensional travel, etc. At times I felt a little out of my league reading it, but as a whole it did a great job of making the subject and science accessible.
Thanks! Always love seeing your posts here and this isn't an exception. I will add these to the list! I think I find the encounters the most fascinating as well because they hint toward potential motive. I personally believe we are past the point is it real or not, but still trying to understand why/how.
Appreciate it. Yeah, there's clearly enough substance to the phenomenon to know it's real. Hopefully this year will be fruitful with the release of government documents as a result of what passed of the UAPDA. While I don't expect targeted groups to fully comply, I do think we'll see the release of enough cases to start confirming current theories.
In the meantime, there is a ton of history for the public to sift through and countless theories on why. I try not to get too invested in any one line of thought and make sure to not discount anything for not matching my expectation of reality. When examining the unknown, it's important to remember how little we know about the universe. In the end, I think it'll come down to pieces of a range of different theories proving correct and forming the truth behind the phenomenon.
