LRB: Jenny Diski reviews ‘The Myth and Mystery of UFOs’.

“However, it is Bullard’s account of the myth, rather than the mystery, that offers the most acceptable account of alien sightings and abductions. Or at any rate the most familiar and easiest to take. Aliens who whisk innocent sleepers off to their spaceships and give them medical examinations or impregnate them are only doing what fairies and hobgoblins have been doing since long ago and far away.” Ms Diski, this is a paraphrase of Carl Sagan’s longstanding contentions - I believe from “Demon-Haunted World.” And those may not be original to Carl.
