Author Craig Lang has been a UFO field investigator for MUFON, the Minnesota Mutual UFO Network and a hypnotherapist for the last ten years. The trigger for this project might have been the sudden passing of a fellow field investigator, Casey Holt, a young man who had no opportunity to put his thoughts in order prior to his death. Lang felt challenged to document his own research and preserve his own legacy.

In “The Cosmic Bridge,” Lang he has put a stake in the ground to say, “this is what is known.” He does not declare that he has solved the mystery of UFOs and abductions. He discusses how what we know affects society now, and how society would be affected if we knew more. His book is a scholarly study, rather than a dramatic presentation of the issues. He defines the issues and builds his case, one concept upon another.

Actual experiences of UFOs and other mysterious events are included, as told to Lang in hypnotherapy sessions and during investigations. Names have been changed to protect the experiencers’ privacy. He uses these stories to illustrate his steady logic and the components of the close encounter experience. Lang quotes the research of other important figures in the UFO field, and shows how their information supports or challenges his premises. Detailed notes and sources are at the end of the book, for those wanting to pursue the subject further.

A reader of this book would find a reasoned discussion by a new, impassioned author. For those who believe they might have had an “experience” themselves, they will find they are not alone, and discover a kindred spirit and open mind in the person of Craig Lang.
