Thanks for the input. I'd say, right now, I take a "secular" (lack of a better word) view of UFOs but since reading the RI perspective, I'm certainly open to the idea of real contact.
It looks like, from what I'm gathering via the RI crowd, Vallee's stuff is where to start. He seems like a one-stop encyclopedia of all things supernatural. And I'm a sucker for French writers!
I read Mothman back in high school or college (can't remember). I really enjoyed the read, and it certainly gave me the willies a few times, but I couldn't bring myself to believe it. I just felt Keel really wanted it to be true. Not necessarily a proper skeptical control on his part. Just my opinion. I don't blame him. It's a great story, either way.
I also enjoy reading Jenny Randles, you can sort through her titles to find ones on the topics you're particularly interested in. She was one of the main investigators of the Rendlesham incident, which Vallee analyzes as a military-sponsored rumor propagation exercise.
That sounds totally up my alley! Thank you, I've never read her. Is it kind of like a Chica Bruce / Montauk thing or different?

Take care everyone. Leaving the states for a gig. Happy Holidays.
