Magazine Overview
Title: Skandinavisk UFO Information
Issue: nr. 72
Date: July 10, 2006
Publisher: Danmarks UFO Forening
This issue of Skandinavisk UFO Information, titled 'UFO'er gennem 100 år' (UFOs Through 100 Years), centers on a review of Michael David Hall's book, "UFOs: A Century of Sightings." The magazine also promotes several other UFO-related books available for purchase.
Review: UFOs: A Century of Sightings
Historian Michael David Hall's extensive book, "UFOs: A Century of Sightings," is presented as a comprehensive account of the UFO phenomenon's history from 1896 to the present day. According to a review by Clas Svahn, the book primarily focuses on the USA and compiles the most interesting UFO incidents from the 20th century, highlighting major waves of reports in 1896-97, 1946, 1947, 1952, 1954, 1957, 1965-67, and 1973.
Svahn notes that many reports originate from military archives, with military personnel observing the craft. A key distinction of Hall's work, as highlighted by Svahn, is its focus on the physical aspect of the UFO enigma, deliberately avoiding sensational abduction stories or accounts derived from hypnosis, which are deemed difficult to investigate. Hall, who leads the Montgomery County Historical Society in Indiana, is described as knowledgeable and objective in his treatment of the subject. His compilation is considered a significant effort to describe a controversial phenomenon.
"UFOs: A Century of Sightings" is described as a 375-page book in a large format (21.5 x 28 cm) and is priced at 259.00 Danish Kroner.
