Asked by MellowGrove

I’m looking for another nonfiction audiobook about paranormal phenomena or high strangeness. I’ve read The Mothman Prophecies, books by Ross Coulthart and Luis Elizondo, and Jacques Vallée’s work. What would you recommend next?

John Keel’s The Eighth Tower is a natural next stop if you liked the broad, uncanny pattern-spotting in The Mothman Prophecies. It’s an older, speculative take, so I’d go in expecting an intriguing viewpoint rather than a settled explanation. You could also check for an audio edition of Operation Trojan Horse.

For something more focused on how UFO stories intersect with belief and culture, try American Cosmic by Diana Walsh Pasulka. It approaches the subject from a religious-studies angle, which makes it feel different from a witness-case collection. Check your audiobook catalog, since editions and availability can vary.

Skinwalkers at the Pentagon might suit you if you want a modern account centered on a government research program. The authors present claims and interpretations that readers may assess differently, so it’s worth treating it as one perspective rather than a final answer. If you want a more document-and-witness-oriented UFO book instead, Leslie Kean’s UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record is another option.
