I wanted to post this for two reasons, one being to try to drive this community’s engagement up a little, and the other to grow my collection of books on the topic.

As much as I’d love to see this community as active as its Reddit counterpart, I would also like if it wasn’t as hostile as r/UFOs. So far on Lemmy, it’s been great to see that for the most part we are not all at each other’s throats.

Let’s talk about some books, y’all. What should I be reading?

    In Plain Sight by Ross Coulthart is a must read on the history of not just the phenomenon, but how various governments around the world have worked to keep it secret, despite leaking like a sieve.

    If you’ve got Spotify premium, it’s free on there and read by the man himself. It’s also got the new chapters that the updated version comes with.

    I have a hard time seeing many people reading it and not thinking something is going on, even without naming it as aLiEnS.

      Damn dude, there is an absolute treasure trove in here. I didn’t even know there were audiobooks at all.

      Thank you so much for this. For real.

      Edit: Diana Pasulka’s two books are in here too

        Yeah, there’s quite a few UAP related books in there too. Have fun digging!

      I love hearing that man talk. Thank you for the recommendation. I have it on my kindle but found out I really like reading on paper quite a bit more. Had no idea it was an audiobook already and that it’s on Spotify. Will absolutely be checking this out in the car omw to work throughout this week.

        Heh, I originally got it on Kindle, made it halfway through, then when Spotify released their audiobooks immediately started listening to it. It’s so much better with his wonderful soothing voice. Then my wife got me the updated book for Christmas right after I finished it haha. I’ll add it to my small, but growing, collection of books.
