Description

Description from Project Gutenberg (opens in a new tab)

"The Flying Saucers are Real" by Donald E. Keyhoe is a book published in 1950 that investigated UFO reports by United States Air Force personnel and aircraft between 1947 and 1950. Keyhoe contended that the Air Force concealed evidence of extraterrestrial visits to Earth, which he claimed had increased dramatically after the first atomic weapon test in 1945. This groundbreaking work became hugely successful and popularized many ideas in ufology that remain influential today, marking the first major attempt to promote flying saucers as alien spacecraft.
