In Alien Impact, Craft examines the modern UFO and alien abductee scenarios in the shadow of history. Since the beginning of recorded history, man has reported lights in the sky, beings from beyond the stars, and creatures with a habit of abducting humans for some purpose or another. The names have changed, as have their motives, but the facts remain eerily similar regardless of time or place.
Not only is this book a look at the alien phenomena present since the 40s and 50s, but also looks at classic fairy stories, ancient religious tales, crop circles, fairy rings, Bigfoot, and even the use of magic and shamanism in human perception. At its core, this book is a look at all strange, Fortean phenomenon and how it is really a call for a more in-depth look at human nature and human perception. What, in the grand scheme of things, do all these odd happenings mean?
