Reading the record
Curiosity, evidence
and uncertainty.
Official findings, witness testimony and skeptical interpretations are labelled separately. Each chapter distinguishes what the available record can establish from what remains unknown.
The opening chapter includes official records from:
- NASA
- Office of the Director of National Intelligence
- U.S. Department of Defense
- Library and Archives Canada
