<p><b>ARE WE ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE? Daniel Lavelle sets out on a wild road trip through the UFO heartlands to find out.</b></p><p><b>'So interesting and beautifully written' JON RONSON</b></p><p>'A hugely entertaining, gonzo-style examination of UFOs, ufology and ufologists' NICK POPE</p><p>'Echoes the documentaries with which Louis Theroux made his name' <i>DAILY TELEGRAPH</i></p><p><b>'Lavelle mixes sardonic wit with genuine curiosity . . . he hears about secrets that should never be made public</b>' <b><i>INDEPENDENT, </i>NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE MONTH</b></p><p>The US government has been investigating unidentified aerial phenomena in a secret division of the Department of Defence. A former intelligence official urged the US to disclose evidence of UFOs after saying the government possesses 'intact and partially intact' alien vehicles. And what about those sightings of Tic Tac, Gimbal, Go Fast and the infamous Oumuamua?</p><p>Danny Lavelle, our charming, borderline-bewildered investigator, sets out on a road trip through America's UFO heartlands to get some answers (thankfully 41% of Americans believe aliens have made contact so he has plenty of sources to choose from). Talking to those in the know in government and the UFO scene - often the same thing - Danny follows Lue Elizondo, Jeremy Corbell, attends sky watches (sometimes falling asleep in the desert), listens to alien abductees and has coffee with Starseeds (human beings who claim to be <i>actual </i>aliens).</p><p>Whether he's smoking weed whilst holding dumortierite crystals to access his interdimensional past, or discussing 'space beads' with the Harvard astrophysicist who's convinced he's found evidence of alien life, Danny's journey becomes a deeper story about our unshakeable fascination with little green men - and our deepest wishes not to be alone in the universe.</p><p>Encountering a fair amount of religiosity, conspiratorial thinking and magical thinking, <i>Chasing Aliens</i> is a wild journey in
