The UFO Experience: A Scientific Inquiry

This 1977 fifth printing of "The UFO Experience" is a mass-market paperback in good condition. The cover shows some wear, particularly along the edges and spine, but the binding remains intact. The pages are yellowed with age, yet free of any inscriptions or markings. There is no dust jacket, as typical for this format.
