Read The Flying Saucers Are Real

One of the earliest books on the UFO phenomena, published in 1950, The Flying Saucers Are Real might be considered the birth of modern flying saucers mania. Government disinformation, paranoia, out of this world sightings; this book has it all. Luckily the text wound up in the public domain, where it has been republished both by Project Gutenberg and here in this audio version. The text-to-speech rendering isn't perfect, but it makes the quirky nature of the material more entertaining. This is a rare case where a synthesized narrator enhances the listening experience. If you want UFO mythology, untainted by years of glamorization by Hollywood and popular media, listen to this book.
