Tonight I began reading "UFOs and Abductions: Challenging the Borders of Knowledge," a scholarly examination of the UFO controversy edited by historian David Jacobs (probably better known for his books "Secret Life" and "The Threat").

The first two essays, focusing on the academic bias against scientific ufology, are exceptionally promising. I disagree with many of Jacobs' conclusions regarding his work with "abductees," but he seems to have done a good job of fashioning an even-handed introduction to the field.
