'6The contributors to this book agree that UFOS ARE REAL . and still to be explained." "Beyond that they hold widely differing, often con- flicting views. That is only to be expected. The UFO phenomenon is so vast and its manifestations so various that no single explanation seems likely to account for more than a part of the whole; and a subject of such awesome dimensions surely has room for both a Stanton Friedman, who sees UFOs as technological hardware, and a Jacques Vallee, who sees them as paranormal software. It also has room for any number of opinions somewhere between these two."
