FSR Bookshelf - 17

This document consists of a collection of book reviews and editorial commentary regarding the state of ufology in the late 20th century. The text begins with a political analysis of the French organization G.E.P.A.N., suggesting that despite attempts by socio-communists to dismantle it, the organization remains protected by the French Army and security services. The document then transitions into a 'Bookshelf' section curated by Janet and Colin Bord, which reviews various publications on UFO phenomena. These include Mark Moravec's 'PSIUFO Phenomena', Quentin Fogarty's account of New Zealand light sightings, and works by Loren Gross, William R. Corliss, and James E. Oberg. The reviews emphasize the ongoing debate between those who view UFOs as physical craft and those who interpret them through psychological or paranormal lenses. The document also covers the release of 'The Andreasson Affair, Phase Two' by Raymond Fowler, detailing the experiences of Betty Andreasson and her husband Robert Luca, including hypnotic regression sessions. Finally, the document features an open letter from Dr. Pierre Guérin, an astronomer and physicist with the CNRS. Guérin expresses frustration with the 'rationalist' community, arguing that their persistent denial of UFO evidence is unscientific and that they have failed to properly analyze the data. He asserts that UFOs are a reality that the scientific community refuses to acknowledge, despite the efforts of researchers to bring the subject to light.
