They are already here : UFO culture and why we see saucers / Sarah Scoles. - First Pegasus books edition. - ©2020 - 248 p: 24 cm.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 231-240) and index.
Da Vinci's garage door opener -- The politics of the UFO Congress -- The black vault versus the rock star -- The government's closet -- The patron saint, or something, of saucers -- The mutually supportive mutual UFO network -- Riding the extraterrestrial hypothesis highway into Area 51 -- The muguls of Roswell, New Mexico -- To the stars above telescope towns -- All along the UFO watchtower -- It was always you.
"In They Are Already Here we meet the bigwigs, the scrappy upstarts, the field investigators, the rational people, and the unhinged kooks of this sprawling community. How do they interact with each other? How do they interact with "anomalous phenomena"? And how do they (as any group must) reflect the politics and culture of the larger world around them? We will travel along the Extraterrestrial Highway (next to Area 51) and visit the UFO Watchtower, where seeking lights in the sky is more of a spiritual quest than a "gotcha" one. We meet someone who, for a while believes they may have communicated with aliens. Where do these alleged encounters stem from? What are the emotional effects on the experiencers?"--Amazon.com.
