UFOs represent more than physical craft. Don’t expect govt to disclose the full truth—and are they even believable? Read, research, evaluate sources, find connections, and draw your own conclusions. These books explore aspects of UFOs you’ll never hear from govt, and you may find them compelling:

These books present views of the phenomenon supported by source material gathered over decades of research. It would behoove any of us not to draw premature conclusions about the UFO phenomenon before evaluating all available evidence.

There is also an important distinction between evidence and proof. Evidence is not proof, but it can lead to proof. The volume of historical data, firsthand testimony, and recurring patterns across continents and decades is something that warrants consideration.

Isn’t the government the ones saying this is demonic/biblical?

Books like these are poor resources for deduction. They consistently draw wild conclusions without an ounce of an evidence-based foundation. That’s not to say you can’t or shouldn’t read these books, but it’s beyond dubious to provide this list in context to truth or research. And I most certainly wouldn’t put “what you find compelling” in the same sentence as “evaluate sources.”
