Those interested in UFOs, might want to begin their reading with works by J. Allen Hynek and Jacques Vallee. Both eminent scientists, they helped create a scientific basis for studying UFO Reports. Their books, particularly when read in the order they were published, are outstanding reads.
As for news involving UFOs, it can be very dire.
Frederick Valentich is another important person who disappeared while being harassed by a UFO while piloting a Cessna over Bass Straight, between Tasmania and the mainLand.
The 20-year old pilot radioed a close encounter and disappeared without a trace over the straights between the mainland and Tasmania. Here's part of his last transmission:
Valentich: Melbourne, this is DSJ (Delta Sierra Juliet -- the code for Valentich's plane). Is there any known traffic below five thousand feet?
Melbourne: No known traffic
V: It, seems to be a large aircraft below five thousand.
M: What type of aircraft is it?
V: I cannot confirm. It is four bright, it seems to me like, landing lights ... the aircraft has just passed over me at least a thousand feet above.
