In advance of the landing : folk concepts of outer space
"Over the course of eight years Douglas Curran traveled across the North American continent and recorded--in sympathetic words and perceptive photographs--the ideas and experiences of individuals whose obsession with outer space inspired them to create elaborate homemade spaceships and even more elaborate belief systems. Since it was first published in 1985, this photographic exploration of the world of UFO true believers has established itself as a classic work not only within the New Age/UFO community, but among sociologists, psychologists, and in the art and photography communities. With new photographs and an expanded text discussing Roswell incident of 1947 and the Raelian movement, it remains the definitive exploration of man's yearning for contact with life beyond Earth."--book jacket
