Aliens from Space: The Real Story of Unidentified Flying Objects

by Donald E. Keyhoe

Major Keyhoe was a member of the Nat'l Investigations Committee for Aerial Phenomena & was well connected within the military establishment charged with investigating UFO sightings. He ultimately separated himself from the military investigations because of disillusionment with the lies & misinformation that the government used to cover up the facts of the thousands of well-documented UFO reports they were receiving. These reports were taken directly from USAF investigation records, with the permission of superiors. Later, the military made accusations that he was misrepresenting facts in these cases. Keyhoe publicly taunted the Military. He said that if what they say is true, they had a responsibility to prosecute him for treason. The military never did, as they didn't have a case against him, & as a result, we are left with a rich source of the facts that would later be buried by military secrecy. Sightings continue today. The only people left who don't believe the evidence exists are those choose ignorance by not making themselves aware of the vast amount of evidence or those who are charged with disseminating faulty information on behalf of a Nat'l Security State that has devoted the last 50 years to hiding the truth from the American people.--R. Allen (edited)

Reviews

[Erik Graff · Rating 3 out of 5]

Major Donald E. Keyhoe was one of the earlier insiders to discuss governmental encounters with UFOs. A Marine pilot, his sources are both documentary and personal, and his concern with the phenomenon and the cover-ups is real and sincere.

Now this one is probably known to other of researchers, but it just deserves to be read. It replicates what many researchers thought back in the sixties and seventies, we move a lot from there, but they were getting a lot of interesting data, Keyhoe was convinced it was extraterrestrial, and in fact, he is not wrong, it could be just a bit more complex than that.
