Author believes that the scient.ific way to process UFO data is to divide the prob-
lem into two parts: (1) consider all the reports from all available sources, try-
ing to explain them in terms of conventional objects; (2) when all identified cases
have been eliminated, the residue must contain reference to the UFO phenome-
non if it exists as an unconventional, objective agent in the generation of reports.

Part I (Chapters 3-5) is devoted to a discussion of whether the location of sight-
ings foHows a precise law; Part II (Chapters 7-10) discusses variations in the

nomena; Part lil (Chapters 11-13) is an attempt to establish as accurate a clas-
sification categories as possible for different types of sighting reports and
descriptions or the physical characteristics of the objects sighted.
