UFO Religion by Gregory L Reece
Lines across the plain near the Peruvian site of Nazca have been explained as features of a religious calendar. Then, why were these interpreted as the contours of a galactic spaceport? And, what is it about flying saucer culture that speaks to people with a religious intensity? This book acts as a guide for those who are looking for the answers.
'UFO Religion is both an informed study of the subject and a thoroughly enjoyable readWhile several excellent studies of belief in extraterrestrial visitation are now available, for those unfamiliar with this fascinating area UFO Religion is certainly the book to start with. Gregory L Reece covers a broad range of material with a light and deftly humorous touch. I have no doubt that his book will become a firm favourite with students. I am also confident that even those who, up to this point, have not been particularly interested in UFO belief will enjoy this carefully researched, well-written and accessible book.' - Christopher Partridge, Professor of Contemporary Religion and Co-Director of the Centre for Religion and Popular Culture, University of ChesterBOOOKLIST'a highly readable inspection of ufologists who find religious meaning in their passion manages to be both insightful and humorous''Consider this is an excellent introduction to its genuinely spacey subject.'- Mike Tribby
