Editor's review

In Search of UFOs is a work of non-fiction exploring UFOs and alien civilizations by Mr. Wang Shunyi. Rather than a sensational tabloid compilation, it draws on cases, scientific reports, and historical documents the author collected over many years at home and abroad, and traces the development of the UFO phenomenon from a relatively rigorous perspective. The book is clearly structured: it begins with early sighting records, moves gradually to analysis of famous modern cases, and discusses related scientific hypotheses, declassified government files, and cultural influence. The author's tone is calm and objective, avoiding excessive mystification and focusing instead on presenting facts and the clash of differing views, offering readers a relatively balanced cognitive framework. For UFO enthusiasts, the book's value lies in its systematic and documentary nature; it is like a solid "introductory briefing" that helps readers build basic knowledge and tell reliable information from falsehood. Of course, given the controversial nature of the subject, some content and conclusions remain exploratory, and readers should think independently. Overall, this is a suitable book for guiding the curious into the field and gaining a preliminary systematic understanding.

A good fit for

General readers with a basic curiosity about UFOs, alien civilizations, and other unsolved mysteries

Reading tips

It is advisable to skim the table of contents first to gain a general impression of the historical periods and case categories of the UFO phenomenon
While reading, consult the bibliography at the end of the book for further reading on key cases of interest
Maintain critical thinking and treat the book as a survey of phenomena and a summary of views rather than a final conclusion
