I have had this 2LP set so long I can't recall how I got it, it may originally been made available through sc-fi mags but I'm not sure.
The listener is treated to a brief history of UFO sightings, what constitutes a UFO and close encounters as well as some great recordings of abductees under hypnosis! The inner gatefold is chock-full of photos and drawings of saucers, aliens and the witnesses. Why aren't there more investigations, WHY?!?!?

Releases like this come about in waves--like UFO sightings, one supposes--and this one looks like it's from the Close Encounters period of the latter '70s. I've got some multidisc transcription of a really cool CBC radio documentary miniseries from the mid-60s or so that might've had its theme song lifted by some musicians (it's pseudo-Stockhausen).

Awesome post! It couldn't have been any better if the disks had been about cattle mutilation or spontaneous human combustion. And Kurt Waldheim's message to the aliens at the end of disk four was a delightful lagniappe.

This is the same era where UFO mania gripped me, too. THis is also when lots of UFO schlock got re-branded and re-issued with 'Encounters' tacked onto the title, due to Speilberg's film. For some reason, this stuff really appeals to me, either because today's UFO cultists have gotten really silly, or because I still listen to this stuff (or watch documentaries from this era) with my ten or twelve year old brain, no critical thinking skills and all.

Thank you for this post! I've been reading and writing about many of the people on this record for years, without actually hearing their voices.
Something's been going at us for centuries, but no one knows what.
