12 Books About Aliens That Will Make You Believe

Wake up, sheeple.

UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record, by Leslie Kean

Leslie Kean's 2008 book is notable both for her prior experience as an esteemed investigative journalist and the breadth of strange and compelling UFO cases it explores. The book includes strange and chilling firsthand accounts from a retired Air Force major, an Air Force colonel, and a retired chief of the FAA’s Accidents and Investigations Division — in addition to several other distinguished sources. Kean's book is well-written, spooky, and completely un-put-downable.

The Mothman Prophecies, by John A. Keel

For a little over a year, starting in 1966, the town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, was besieged by a series of inexplicable sightings — all of a bizarre, giant, winged figure which came to be called "The Mothman." In this bestseller, journalist John A. Keel explores these and other, seemingly related strange events.

Witness to Roswell: Unmasking the Government's Biggest Cover-Up, by Thomas J. Carey, Donald R. Schmitt, and Edgar Mitchell

In this book, which highlights the infamous 1947 Roswell Incident — in which some believe a UFO crash landed in Roswell, New Mexico — the authors delve deeply into news reports, historical data, and witness accounts to explore what really happened. The detail presented is almost overwhelming, and many readers will be hard-pressed to deny that something beyond a mere weather balloon was found that day.

Communion, by Whitley Strieber

Whitley Strieber's 1987 account of his and his wife's repeated experiences with alien abduction — and their subsequent interviews with counselors and hypnotists — has drawn enduring, international interest and acclaim for its careful open-mindedness, the stirring writing style, and the vivid, convincing detail in which Strieber relays his story.

Because more often then not, the covers of these magazines featured McDonald's mascot Ronald McDonald. And let's just say he didn't come off as particularly...inviting.
