This book came out in 1995. It's had, as far as I know, little press..and that's a pity.

Bob, a former journalist, has documented over 150 UFO cases based on the eyewitnesses. Bob detailed stuff that happened that-all I can say is-only your laundry lady would know how scared you would be if it happend to you!

The book is full of monsters, ships and giant birds;angels and aliens, abductions, hairy ones, mini-Devil's Triangle and much more.

Bob gives us an interesting history of UFOs streching back to the 1830s.

Bob included sketches and photographs. These are valuable in ascertaining what was actually seen at these sightings. Although some of the sketches were crudely drawn by witnesses, it adds to the mystery of the phenomenon.

The interviews with the witnesses are interesting and informative. One guy claims to have been abducted about 1500 times. The subject was really upset with a green lotus looking guy! There are other interviews about the subjects being chased in a car, seemingly terrorized by an unknown sky entity. Heavy stuff!

For the believer and non-believer alike, UFOs in West Virginia is a sideway tour, an expected side-step in the game of life. I think many readers will really enjoy this book.
