Swamp Gas Times - Fascinating and fun !,
By Barbara Flick (Garland, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Swamp Gas Times: My Two Decades on the UFO Beat (Paperback)
This complilation of Patrick Huyghe's writings on the subject of UFOs was both fascinating and fun to read. He has a knack for addressing serious and mysterious subject areas with a touch of humor. As it happens, Omni ran some of the best UFO reporting anywhere for nearly a decade, and Huyghe was responsible for a lot of it. In "Swamp Gas Times" he has updated his articles for Omni and other publications, and put these pieces in both a jouralistic and ufological perspective. The book also contains material that has not appeared elsewhere before. Well researched and objective, this book is a treasure in the field of UFO research.

Not what I was Expecting,
By
This review is from: Swamp Gas Times: My Two Decades on the UFO Beat (Paperback)
Mainly a collection of articles from Omni, many from the anti-matter section. Not a lot of depth to most of them, which is to be expected, since anti-matter was a collection of short articles about the paranormal. I was hoping for something along the lines of "Shockingly Close to the Truth" by Mosely, so we could get a deeper look at the investigative process, which is what I thought I was buying. I found it a bit dull, and can't recommend it.

Wonderful trek with a GREAT writer,
By reader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Swamp Gas Times: My Two Decades on the UFO Beat (Paperback)
Patrick Huyghe's book skips along from place to place with a well-written light-hearted seriousness that has been missing in the study of this subject for years. Not a flippant investigator at all, this science journalist talks to some of the most intriguing people on earth - and takes us along for the ride. It examines its subject, ufology, so closely from the inside out, it makes your feel like you are right there with Huyghe. Highly recommended. This is the most level-headed, down-to-earth, funny, scientific look at the day-to-day investigations of ufology that I have ever read.

An Inevitable Classic,
By Larry W. Bryant - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Swamp Gas Times: My Two Decades on the UFO Beat (Paperback)
When the occasional UFO-oriented reporter interviews me about my UFO activism, I offer this word of caution: "Be careful: UFOs are habit-forming!" As seen from "Swamp Gas Times," Patrick Huyghe (rhymes with "Weege") has chosen not only to ignore my warning but also to heighten his, my, and every other inquiring mind's addiction to the quest for UFOtruth. Let's hope that this landmark in serious UFO literature ends up in every public library, where it can entice a whole new generation of inquiring minds to start asking the right questions of the right people. -- Larry W. Bryant (Director of Governmental Affairs for the Mutual UFO Network, Inc.)
