I'm doing a clean out of my bookshelves in preparation for a move, and I unearthed this... I have vague recollections of acquiring it back when I was a teenager and The X-Files was on the telly, but clearly Scully was a greater influence than Mulder because while this is mildly interesting it is also deeply unconvincing. The so-called encounters described here took place from the 1950s to the 1970s, over a range of countries and continents, and a moderate amount of detail is given for each. 

The authors for the most part keep a fairly rational tone, pointing out discrepancies and other undermining factors, but every so often it veers off into slightly hysterical territory, as for example the description of a person who reported a UFO sighting and who died sometime after in a traffic accident, with the implication that was he silenced because of it (p. 63). I was most struck, I think, by the photographs, which were less convincing than even my skeptic self expected; far more of the illustrations appear to be fairly unsophisticated drawings in pencil and crayon.

Off to the free library it goes.
