"Jerry Clark is a treasure of the fortean world.

Magonia Review of Books"
Unexplained! is a delightful book to curl up with before bed. Mr. Clark, who doubles as the [former] vice president of the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies, makes no judgments, and offers no compelling hypothesis
because after all
weird stuff
happens."
