UFO investigator Preston for the retrieval of crashed UFOs and their Dennett figures this is a good reason to write occupants, reviewing 74 examples from as a book focusing on just Californian cases, far back as 1897 (mentioned in a leaked and why not.

But nisms (the stories that don't match in time or _ so, too, are black triangles and diamonds, space). Wood considers many dozens of brightly glowing spheres and egg-shaped potential UFO crashes, relying considerably on research by other UFO investigators; e.g., the 1897 case of a silver, cigar-shaped object that crashed near Aurora, Texas, has been heavily researched by veteran investigator Jim Marrs (who contributes the foreword to this book).

Dennett has been exploring UFO phenom- ena since 1986 and has written several books on the subject, including UFO Healings (see article in 5/06). A southern California resident for 20 years, he has also been a field investigator for MUFON and personally researched many of the cases that are included in his latest book, UFOs Over California. Rather than treating the subject matter chronologically, he groups sightings according to themes, e.g., the waves of the 1950s and the "invasions" of Edwards Air Force Base, crash retrievals, landings and humanoids, abductions, onboard encounters, the early contactee movement as well as healing encounters and implant removal surgeries. And as Hollywood is part of California, we're not left wanting in the area of celebrity UFO sightings—including President Ronald Reagan's. There's a colour photo section that includes graphics from ancient Native American artworks. The phenomenon is an old one but, as Dennett presages in his pacy, attention- grabbing book, it's not going to go away. Giants of the Dreamtime The Yowie in Myth and Reality by Rex Gilroy The culmination of close to 45 years of field research into what is one of Rex Gilroy's favourite passions - yowie hunting. It's also arecord of what he has gleaned from Aboriginal myth and anec- dotal and recorded evidence from over 200 years of European settlement in Australia. Rex has encountered, recorded and photographed enough cir- cumstantial evidence for him to conclude that the mysterious yowie is indeed real and comes in several variations, the largest identified as Gigantopithecus. $55.00 (includes GST + postage in Australia) To order - mail, phone or fax your order to: NEXUS Magazine, PO Box 30, Mapleton Qld 4560 Australia.
