Stephen,
I am reposting this comment so that it doesn't get buried beneath the interest your previous post generated:
Stephen,
You asked for some book suggestions, so I thought I would offer some. There is a good book by Terence Hines, Pseudoscience and the Paranormal, in which he discusses different paranormal claims and why people believe them. Schick and Vaughn have a good book, How to Think About Weird Things: Critical Thinking for a New Age, which introduces critical thinking by sifting through different confusions about things like UFO's.
Hope that helps!
Thanks Timmo - I've got Schick and Vaughn but not the Hins - I'll order it....
