A non-fiction book about all things alien, ufo, and extraterrestrial. A must read if you are a skeptic like me who is infatuated with the idea of the possibility of there being “others”.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

We Are Not Alone is a non-fiction book about all things UFO, including past history and present day sightings, findings, and reports.
I've always been fascinated with UFOs and believe there is life within this vast universe we inhabit that we don't know about yet. This was such a great book and would be perfect for anyone starting out with an interest in this information and for study.
I was pleasantly surprised with some cases in this book I'd not heard of along with many I had as I love reading new information on subjects like this.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quirk Books for an eARC copy of We are Not Alone by Marc Hartzman.

We Are Not Alone provides an easy to read and well researched look on UFO's, along with stories and events. It was also nice that Marc Hartzman spoke about cases where supernatural events occurred and no explanation could be found, which helps round everything out, especially for those who are 'non-believers.' It also does not have a confirm conclusion, leaving you to believe on either side of the spectrum. Would recommend.

I'm fascinated by UFOs and alien encounter narratives, both historical and contemporary. Books like this one provide an easily accessible look into these strange phenomena, as well as their continued effects on the human psyche and our culture.

A well researched and fairly easy to consume book about aliens, UAPs (UFOs), and extraterrestrials. This author blends scientific and respected research and documentation with personal tales and direct interviews. I believe this will be a timely read and is a nice addition to public libraries or any library or store looking for casual literature on this topic.

From ancient Japan to modern day America sightings of unknown flying objects are plentiful and in this book the author tells us about a lot of them. From ammature skywatchers to NASA scientist and many others have seen these flying objects and yet there is still those among us who say aliens are not real to believe we are alone in the universe is hubris at best and ignorant at worst but to each their own this is a great book and it’s not even a complete retelling of all the sightings that have been documented. Even the great Bent Franklin seen an unidentified flying object in the sky many respectable people have given their affidavits now when people say that they don’t believe aliens exist it makes me think one they don’t keep up with the news and two they’re pretty damn ignorant. Although the book doesn’t go into great detail on any one story the stories are plentiful and there’s a great starter guide for any beginning alien enthusiast. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it I want to think Net galley and the publisher for my free art copy please forgive any mistakes as I am blind the dictate my review.

A nice primer into the world of Aliens and UFOs. This covers all of the basics and famous cases, so if you're looking for niche and lesser-known cases, this likely isn't for you. It's a fun book to pick up and flip through, but doesn't have a whole lot of depth as it covers a lot of ground.

An interesting look at whether or not aliens and UFO’s exist. The author presents a good case with plenty of unexplained cases where the officials could not explain away the sighting. The author provides a vast amount of information to allow the reader to make the determination for themselves.

Thank you to #NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Enlightening, Compelling..
Unidentified flying objects and extra terrestrial possibilities explored in this comprehensive, well researched and perfectly organised account. Is it possible to separate fact from fiction in this grey area of sightings, photographs and written accounts? The author certainly does a good job in trying to achieve exactly that. Entertaining, enlightening and compelling and absolutely worth its weight if this is an area of interest - and who could fail to be at least a little interested in the unknown?

This is a solid book on the topic, and it was an easy, well-organized read. I know a few people in my life who will *love* this book, and I can't wait to recommend it for them.

This book is for anyone who has ever questioned if we are truly alone in the universe.

We Are Not Alone is presented objectively by the author. All claims of intelligent non-human/alien life in space or elsewhere on the Earth are supported by documentation, eyewitness accounts, and photographic evidence.

The chapters are systematic and well-described:

- Cover-ups and plots, such as those surrounding the Area 51 and Roswell incidents.

- UFO sightings; ranged from the well-known (such as the Phoenix Lights and the Ariel School Incident) to the obscure.

- Alien abductions; such as the ones that happened to Betty and Barney Hill and in Pascagoula.

- Ancient aliens; such as the alien builders of the pyramids and Biblical astronauts.

- Reports from the government and military, including Project Blue Book and accounts of UFO sightings near nuclear weapons installations.

- Scientific proof, such as the interstellar 'Oumuamua object and the "Wow!" radio signal.

Even if it is obvious that we cannot draw a firm conclusion concerning UFOs from the reading, the book is entertaining and well worth reading.

It is informative, backed up by data, and a wonderful starting point for people who want to understand more about the UFO phenomenon.
