The Spring of UAP Books

The Spring of UAP Books

The spring of 2025 saw the publication of three different books, authored or co-authored by UAP Check current or past board members.

It may look like an odd coincidence: as many as three books from UAP Check board members in the last few months.


“The Spring of UFOs” is precisely the title of Charles-Maxence Layet’s book, which he wrote while finishing his ten-years experience as a Europarliament assistant. A tecnical journalist by profession, he is offering a glance at the recent developments on the UAP scene, from the USA to France, from the scientific milieu to the social networks, trying to separate facts from myths about the Extra-Terrestrial Hypothesis, with an eye to socio-political implications (“Le printemps des Ovnis”, Editions First,  Paris, 432 pages, in French).


Sarah Witeneim teamed with Daniel Robin to write “UFOs: Breaking the Silence”, tracing what’s behind the flow of revelations from whistleblowers, dark projects from government agencies, the hidden implications of Artifical Intelligence, ultra-high military  technologies, backward engineering efforts ( “OVNIS, briser le silence”, Le Mercure Dauphinois, Grenoble,  318 pages, in French).

From the other side of the Alps, Edoardo Russo was asked to write a general presentation of the UAP topic by the biggest Italian publisher. “UFOs: phenomenon or myth?” is the rethorical question leading the way across a hall of mirrors in a land of other antinomies  (eg. identified vs. unidentified, nocturnal lights vs. daylight objects, distant sightings vs. close encounters, facts vs. rumours, belief vs. disbelief, military vs. civilian ufology, science vs. pseudo-science), based upon 40 years of field investigations and case analyses  by CISU national network ( “UFO: fenomeno o mito?”, Rizzoli, Milano, 240 pages, in Italian).
