FOREWORD
By Paul Andrews

I grew up in the era of when space travel started to happen, I also
grew up in the era of television and films which made the concept of
life on other planets seem so real, and that it was perfectly possible
and feasible that alien visitors from other planets could and in fact
were already coming to earth.
As as boy I remember well buying whilst on a summer holiday, a
paperback book called “The Hynck Report” a book I still own today.
This book was a mine of information and theory’s for a young boy.
As I grew up many people I have met and also relatives, all of
which I trust have recalled to me sighting of strange craft and lights
in the sky. These are people I trust with my life, so how can I doubt
what they have seen, even though we cannot define easily what they
have seen.
A few years ago I also witnessed lights in the sky over
Bedfordshire, in the United Kingdom. I cannot confirm what the
lights were but as an engineer by original trade, I know what it was
not, even if I cannot identify what it was.
I will be exploring all things UFO in a series of books, both
personal experiences and also third hand reports such as this book.
I have edited and corrected this book, and also added some relevant
illustrations into the book. I hope you find it as interesting as I have.
The original author was Donald E. Keyhoe, who relates here his
investigation of the flying saucers, writes with twenty-five years of
experience in observing aeronautical developments.
He is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis. He
flew in active service with the Marine Corps, managed the tour of
the historic plane in which Bennett and Byrd made their North
Pole flight, was aide to Charles Lindbergh after the famous Paris
flight, and was chief of information for the Aeronautics Branch,
Department of Commerce.
ORIGINAL AUTHOR’S NOTE

ON APRIL 27,1949, the U.S. Air Force stated:

“The mere existence of some yet unidentified flying objects
necessitates a constant vigilance on the part of Project ‘Saucer’
personnel, and on the part of the civilian population.
“Answers have been--and will be--drawn from such factors as
guided missile research activity, balloons, astronomical phenomena.
. . . But there are still question marks.
“Possibilities that the saucers are foreign aircraft have also been
considered. . . . But observations based on nuclear power plant
research in this country label as ‘highly improbable’ the existence on
Earth of engines small enough to have Powered the saucers.
“Intelligent life on Mars . . . is not impossible but is completely
unproven. The possibility of intelligent life on the Planet Venus is
not considered completely unreasonable by astronomers.
“The saucers are not jokes. Neither are they cause for alarm.”
(Quote from Project “Saucer” Preliminary Study of Flying Saucers)
On December 27, 1949, the Air Force denied the existence of
flying saucers. (Air Force Press Release 629-49)
On December 30, 1949, the Air Force revealed part of a secret
Project “Saucer” report to members of the press at Washington. The
official report stated:

“It will never be possible to say with certainty that any individual
did not see a space ship, an enemy missile, or some other object.”
Discussing the motives of possible visitors from space, the report
also stated:
“Such a civilization might observe that on Earth we now have
atomicbombs and are fast developing rockets. In view of the past
history ofmankind, they should be alarmed. We should therefore
expect at this time above all to behold such visitations.”
(In its April 22 report, Project “Saucer” stated that space travel
outside the solar system is almost a certainty.)
On February 22, 1950, the Air Force again denied the existence
of flying saucers. On this same date, two saucers reported above Key
West Naval Air Station were tracked by radar; they were described
as manoeuvring at high speed fifty miles above the earth. The Air
Force refused to comment.
On March 9, 1950, a large metallic disk was pursued by F-51
and jet fighters and observed by scores of Air Force officers at
Wright Field, Ohio. On March 18, an Air Force spokesman again
denied that saucers exist and specifically stated that they were not
American guided missiles or space-exploration devices.
I have carefully examined all Air Force saucer reports made in
the last three years. For the past year, I have taken part in a special
investigation of the flying-saucer riddle.
I believe that the Air Force statements, contradictory as they
appear, are part of an intricate program to prepare America--and
the world--for the secret of the disks.
CHAPTER ONE

It Was A Strange Assignment.

I picked up the telegram from my desk and read it a third time.

NEW YORK, N. Y., MAY 9, 1949

HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATING FLYING SAUCER
MYSTERY. FIRST TIP HINTED GIGANTIC HOAX TO
COVER UP OFFICIAL SECRET. BELIEVE IT MAY HAVE
BEEN PLANTED TO HIDE REAL ANSWER. LOOKS LIKE
TERRIFIC STORY. CAN YOU TAKE OVER WASHINGTON
END?

KEN W. PURDY, EDITOR, TRUE MAGAZINE

I glanced out at the car, recalling the first saucer story. As a pilot,
I’d been sceptical of flying disks. Then reports had begun to pour
in from Air Force and airline pilots. Apparently alarmed, the Air
Force had ordered fighters to pursue the fast-flying saucers. In
one mysterious chase, a pilot had been killed, and his death was
unexplained. That had been seventeen months ago. Since then, the
whole flying-saucer riddle had been hidden behind a curtain of
Air Force secrecy. And now, an assignment from True magazine on
flying saucers.
Twenty-four hours later, I was in Ken Purdy’s office.
“I’ve had men on this for two months,” he told me. “I might as
well warn you, it’s a tough story to crack.”
“You think it’s a Russian missile?” I asked him. “Or an Air Force
secret?”
“We’ve had several answers. None of them stacks up. But I’m
positive one was deliberately planted when they found we were
checking.”
He told me the whole story of the work that had been done by
the staff of True and of the reports sent in by competent writers.
The deeper he
elved into the mystery, the tougher the assignment got. The
more I learned about flying saucers, the less I knew.
“There’s one angle I want rechecked,” Purdy said.
“You’ve heard of the Mantell case?”
I nodded.
“O.K. Try to get the details of Mantell’s radio report to Godman
Tower. Before he was killed, he described the thing he was
chasing—we know that much. Project Saucer’ gave out a hint, but
they’ve never released the transcript. Here’s another lead. See if you
can find anything about a secret picture, taken at Harmon Field,
Newfoundland--it was around July 1947. I’ll send you other ideas
as I get them.”
(Reconstructed Image of the Mantell incident)
Before I left, Purdy wished me luck and told me that he would work
in closest harmony with me.
“But watch out for fake tips,” he said. “You’ll probably run into
some people at the Pentagon who’ll talk to you ‘off the record.’
That handcuffs a writer. Look out they don’t lead you into a blind
alley. Even the Air Force statements and the Project ‘Saucer’ report
contradict each other.”
For six months, I worked with other investigators to solve the
mystery of the disks. We checked a hundred sighting reports,
frequently crossing the trail of Project “Saucer” teams and F.B.I.
agents. Old records gave fantastic leads. So did Air Force plans for
exploring space. Rocket experts, astronomers, Air Force officials and
pilot gave us clues pointing to a startling solution. Many intelligent
persons--including scientists--believe that the saucers contain spies
from another planet.
When this first phase was ended, we were faced with a hard
decision. We had uncovered important facts, We knew the saucers
were real. If it was handled carefully, we believed the story would be
in line with a secret Air Force policy.
It was finally decided to publish certain alternate conclusions.
The Air Force was informed of True’s intentions; no attempt was
made to block publication.
In the January 1950 issue of True, I reported that we had reached
the following conclusions:

1. The earth has been observed periodically by visitors from
another planet.
2. This observation has increased markedly in the past two
years.

“The only other possible explanation,” I wrote, “is that, the saucers
are extremely high-speed, long-range devices developed here on
earth. Such an advance (which the Air Force has denied) would
require an almost incredible leap in technical progress even for
