UFOs will always fascinate us because it is a psychological black box into
which we can project our realistic and outlandish hopes and fears. In Something
in the Air, Jenny Randles makes a strong case that there are fascinating,
strange and even dangerous aerial phenomena that cry out for proper scientific
investigation. Published by Robert Hale, £16.99, ISBN 0709059744.
