Riverbend Publishing, 2013, 230 pages, $14.95
Joan Bird earned her doctorate in zoology and animal behavior at UM in 1983. Her book on the topic of UFOs in Montana takes the scientific track a reader would expect from a scholar. Her book was several years in the making. Her aim is to break through the “ridicule barrier” that surrounds stories of sightings of UFOs and encounters with extraterrestrials in Montana. She is especially interested in what she finds to be convincing evidence of UFO activity around nuclear weapon sites and of UFO’s deactivations of nuclear missiles.
