Originally titled "Flying Saucers: Fact or Fiction," this book is a fascinating piece of investigative journalism. In 1949 and 1950, the author thoroughly researched as many contemporary instances of UFO sightings as he could discover, examining documentary and photographic evidence, interviewing witnesses and others. From the perspective of the end of the 20th century, when many of these phenomena remain unexplained, this book is gripping reading, leading one to wonder whether there actually was a cluster of extraterrestrial visits to our planet mid-century, and, if so, why, why closer contact was never made and why these visits seem to have declined in recent years.
