Features
34 Flying Saucers of the Gods (cover story)
When the Wise Men followed the Star of Bethlehem, were they really having a Close Encounter? Ted Harrison traces the links between religion and UFOs and examines the rise of extraterrestrial theology, from Erich von Daniken to David Icke.
40 Meeting Jesus at Oxford
Ed Dutton has spent a decade researching the strange fact that undergraduates at Britain's oldest and most respected universities are far more likely to undergo conversion to fundamentalist forms of Christianity than other students. Could the answer lie in a combination of hothouse educational environments and the very architecture of our brains?
46 A Policeman's Lot: Part 2
Last issue, Peter Brookesmith, David Clarke and Andy Roberts revisited one of the most famous British close encounters, the PC Alan Godfrey 'abduction'. In the concluding part of their anniversary article, they ask what PC Godfrey really saw on that night in 1980.
