Roswell was only the beginning! "Something very, very strange happened in that forest, and this powerful book shines a clear light into that mystery." —Whitley Strieber, #1 New York Times –bestselling author In 1980, a UFO was tracked on military radar in Rendlesham Forest, England. It landed near two of the most strategically important military bases in NATO and was approached by military witnesses who touched the hull. This explosive new book tells the full story of this incident, which is set to become better-known than Roswell. Written by Nick Pope, an international bestselling author and former government UFO investigator, working closely with John Burroughs and Jim Penniston, the two officers at the heart of the encounters, Encounter in Rendlesham Forest reveals the first-hand witnesses' full stories for the first time and is supported by numerous formerly classified documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act. The inside story of these events and their aftermath will change people's perceptions about UFOs and about the true role played by government, the military and the intelligence agencies. "Full of paranoia about the government—not all of it, or even most of it, unwarranted." — The Washington Post "This is a well-researched, well-written, fascinating explication of the events." — San Francisco Book Review "[Pope's] questions and detailed evidence certainly give readers on both sides of the UFO debate plenty to chew on." — Publishers Weekly "Read this book and you will be convinced that we are not alone in the Cosmos. It will open your mind to 'the broader reality' that holds so much promise if we only embrace it positively." —Paul T. Hellyer, Former Defence Minister of Canada

本作は単なる記録を超え、極限状態の人間心理と国家の秘匿性を抉り出したノンフィクションの傑作です。ポープの分析と目撃者の生々しい証言が交錯する構成は、読者を深い猜疑心の渦へ引き込みます。軍事基地という閉鎖空間で起きた「現実の崩壊」が、一級のサスペンスのような緊迫感で描かれている点が最大の魅力です。 通底するのは宇宙における孤独と、真実を隠蔽する組織の脆さという重層的なテーマです。機密文書の裏側に潜む「未知」への畏怖。本書は読者の宇宙観を根底から揺さぶり、日常の隣にある広大な現実に目を向けさせる情熱に満ちています。真実を追う執念が、消えない余韻を残すことでしょう。
