One of the things I found odd right from the beginning is how UFO stories often lack an historical context. Read the first page

Wonderful trek with a GREAT writer, 6 Aug 2001
By reader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Swamp Gas Times: My Two Decades on the UFO Beat (Paperback)
Patrick Huyghe's book skips along from place to place with a well-written light-hearted seriousness that has been missing in the study of this subject for years. Not a flippant investigator at all, this science journalist talks to some of the most intriguing people on earth - and takes us along for the ride. It examines its subject, ufology, so closely from the inside out, it makes your feel like you are right there with Huyghe. Highly recommended. This is the most level-headed, down-to-earth, funny, scientific look at the day-to-day investigations of ufology that I have ever read.

Not what I was Expecting, 27 Feb 2003
By Doug Traversa "Doug Traversa" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Swamp Gas Times: My Two Decades on the UFO Beat (Paperback)
Mainly a collection of articles from Omni, many from the anti-matter section. Not a lot of depth to most of them, which is to be expected, since anti-matter was a collection of short articles about the paranormal. I was hoping for something along the lines of "Shockingly Close to the Truth" by Mosely, so we could get a deeper look at the investigative process, which is what I thought I was buying. I found it a bit dull, and can't recommend it.

An Inevitable Classic, 11 Sep 2001
By Larry W. Bryant - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Swamp Gas Times: My Two Decades on the UFO Beat (Paperback)
When the occasional UFO-oriented reporter interviews me about my UFO activism, I offer this word of caution: "Be careful: UFOs are habit-forming!" As seen from "Swamp Gas Times," Patrick Huyghe (rhymes with "Weege") has chosen not only to ignore my warning but also to heighten his, my, and every other inquiring mind's addiction to the quest for UFOtruth. Let's hope that this landmark in serious UFO literature ends up in every public library, where it can entice a whole new generation of inquiring minds to start asking the right questions of the right people. -- Larry W. Bryant (Director of Governmental Affairs for the Mutual UFO Network, Inc.)
