Since the birth of the UFO controversy in 1947, Fort's writings have been cited in countless books and web pages. Yet this is the first time in a hundred years that researchers have systematically verified the sources and content of every one of these oft-recycled stories, correcting many errors, placing each case in its historical context, and submitting it to a careful scientific investigation in an attempt to find a conventional answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Following on from the first volume, \u003cem\u003eRedemption of the Damned, Vol. 1: Aerial Phenomena\u003c\/em\u003e, this second volume examines \u003cem\u003eSea and Space Phenomena\u003c\/em\u003e.
