UFOs: A Scientist Explains What We Know (And Don't Know)
Also known as UFOs A Scientist Explains
Robert Powell · Rowman & Littlefield · ISBN 978-1-5381-7358-9
A 2024 book by Robert Powell, a founding board member of the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies, on what science can and cannot say about UFOs. Discussing it with Michael Shermer for Skeptic, Powell covered technosignatures and SETI, Bayesian reasoning about UAP, the U.S. military videos, the Air Force's Projects Sign, Grudge and Blue Book, and AATIP.
Its arguments are the author's analysis of public cases; it does not present new official records.
