Strange Craft: The True Story of An Air Force Intelligence Officer's Life with UFOs

by John L. Guerra

Featured on Coast To Coast A.M.!U.S. Air Force Major George Filer belongs to the generation of pilots and airmen who first became aware of the strange aircraft showing up in the Earth’s atmosphere after World War II.These men - military professionals who flew planes, commanded ships, served as radar operators and air traffic controllers at air fields around the world - began to whisper amongst themselves about encounters with suspected extraterrestrial aircraft. During secret debriefings at U.S. bases, pilots and air crew told their commanders of seeing strange lights at night and in the daylight, groups of saucer- or cigar-shaped craft that easily paced them just a few yards off their plane's wingtip.Award-winning investigative reporter John Guerra spent four years interviewing Filer, a decorated intelligence officer. From objects in the skies over Cold War Europe to a UFO overflight during the Cuban Missile Crisis to strange lights over the DMZ during the Tet Offensive, Filer leaves nothing out about his Air Force UFO encounters, providing Guerra all the amazing details of his six decades investigating extraterrestrials and their craft. Filer’s most memorable case - the shooting of an alien at Fort Dix Army Base in 1978 - is fully recounted for the first time in this book.Filer – who readers have seen on countless UFO documentaries – is also a member of the Disclosure Project, the famous panel of military experts, astronauts, and scientists that urges the U.S. government to release all it knows about UFOs to the public. Then, in the fall of 2017, the Pentagon released the F-18 gun camera footage of what can only be described as an extraterrestrial vehicle outperforming U.S. Navy fighters off San Diego. For the first time, after decades of denying what its intelligence officers, pilots, base commanders and air traffic control personnel know to be true, the military finally admitted to what Filer describes in this incredible book.

Wow! Not only was the content of this book gripping, but it has made me reevaluate my own theories. This was so intriguing that I reread and analyzed several chapters in order to absorb all of the material. I believe the government is certainly capable of withholding information about UFO sightings.

Thank you for sharing U.S. Air Force Major George Filer’s experiences with UFO encounters. Hopefully, the Pentagon will allow the release of even more witness accounts.

Ignoring a few of the grammatical errors in this book it truly was a fascinating read. Whether you believe or disbelieve that UFOs and aliens are amongst us doesn't matter. Believers will love this. Non-believers - well your mind might be changed.

Interesting read.

It makes it easier to believe when the info comes from so many of our brave military personnel. Someday we will all know for sure.
