New York: Henry Holt & Company, 1950. Sky blue cloth boards, navy spine titles, moderate wear. Pages very good, tanning. Hinges intact. Dj some crease, rub; unclipped 2.75, protected in new, clear sleeve. The first attempt to seriously research and explain the mystery of the unexplained flying saucer phenomenon. What are flying saucers? Are they piloted by living creatures or fly by remote control? Where do they come from? How do they fly? Have they been found on this earth? These questions and observations and facts which surround them are discussed in this believe-it-or-not book - a story stranger than fiction which may prove that journeys through space are as commonplace as an ordinary milk-run. Presented here, during the first wave of mass sightings, are the possible theories and actualities of magnetic propulsion, eyewitness accounts of disks discovered in magnetic fault zones of the West - disks made of material unknown on this earth, disks manned by Lilliputian crews, disks carring extraordinary devices, machines, concentrated food, etc. Here is the story, facts, and background as a dispassionate observer has been able to gather them. 230 pages.
