Recently read: Flying Saucers Are Real

The Flying Saucers Are Real

First published in 1950, this book has become a classic. I read it in Jr High. Reading it today is remarkable because it makes a stronger case than many contemporary books on the subject because virtually all of the witnesses here to events in the 1940s are trained pilots, often military. Like the recent Witness to Roswell, the book is too full of firsthand eye-witness testimony to ignore. It's no longer a question of "if" but a question of "what."

Some of this book is dated, of course, particularly speculation about where the objects come from, but the book reads like a detective mystery and the eye-witness accounts accumulate into an impressive argument, one of the first, that "flying saucers are real."
