UFOs: A Scientist Explains What We Know (And Don’t Know)
Autor Robert Powellen Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 feb 2026
Powell begins his book by familiarizing the reader with the history of UFOs and he identifies the more enigmatic and interesting UFO sightings. He examines the characteristics of these sightings that argue against a prosaic explanation: extreme acceleration, electromagnetic interference, bending light, no obvious propulsion mechanisms, and a lack of interaction with the atmosphere. Powell discusses the recent events that have caused our government to change the term from UFO to UAP. Included is information never before released indicating the government possesses not just two videos but five videos from 2015 of UFOs operating in the vicinity of the USS Roosevelt nuclear aircraft carrier.

Recenzii
The case for more transparent scientific study of these phenomena is well done, and it is timely, as the US government appears to be releasing previously closed records and NASA appears to be beginning just the type of study the book proposes.
Robert Powell is one of the luminaries of the UFO world, an accomplished scientist who brings rational, objective analysis to a complex subject where the evidence is all too often peremptorily dismissed by dedicated skeptics or naively accepted without proper analysis by true believers. Even-handed, methodical, and insightful, Robert's new book will help the educated reader to understand and interpret the best current evidence regarding one of the world's greatest and most portentous mysteries.
The first comprehensive stock-taking of the UFO problem, both scientific and big picture, since the Pentagon's about-face in 2021 confirming the existence of "UAP" and their potential threat to national security. Sober, reliable, and refreshingly free of conspiracies, Powell's book is in the great tradition of Sturrock's The UFO Enigma (1999) and Hynek's The UFO Experience (1972). Clear prose and a logical structure make it an outstanding introduction to the field.
Robert Powell clearly explains the role that science must play in furthering universal understanding about UFOs. Scientists must claim this investigation as their own, and balance the national security narrative that has become so dominant. What facts do scientists already know about this phenomenon and how can they go about studying it in the future? I found the information in UFOs to be educational, though-provoking and inspiring.
