This was one of the first books published about the UFO phenomena. We are fortunate that it ended up in the public domain and Peerless Communications is making it available here specially-formatted for the Nook.
This book is a template for much of what would follow: the paranoia, the government disinformation, the inescapable conclusion that the saucers are not of this earth. Keyhoe, with his spare, matter of fact writing style, which also conveys a profound sense of wonder, has to be the prototype for the deadpan Fox Mulder of the X-Files.
On one hand we can see the birth of a key modern mythology. On the other, there
is a body of almost naive evidence in this text unpolluted by that very mythology. The case studies are real. The witnesses were highly reliable. These cases are still unexplained.
The Flying Saucers Are Real by Donald Keyhoe, is a book that investigates numerous encounters between USAF fighters, personnel, and other aircraft, and UFOs between 1947 and 1950. It was printed in paperback by Fawcett Publications, Inc.
This classic book is written in an exciting dramatic style that will rivet the reader. It is a must for any Ufologist or UFO buff. It was originally published in 1950.
