The Case For the UFO: Unidentified Flying Objects
This is the original edition of the classic book that brought the legend of the Philadelphia Experiment into the public sphere, and created saucer controversy for "The Case For the UFO!" Why has this book been suppressed for so many years? It is a well-reasoned review of the UFO record by an eminent astromomer, mathematician, and Dr. M.K. Jessup. His conclusions are breathtaking and incredible, but inescapable.
This special reprint edition features not only the familiar introduction by Frank Edwards, but also the "lost" introduction by noted zoologist Ivan T. Sanderson.

What is the hidden meaning of the comet's tail?
What caused the "Devil's Footprints" of Devonshire?
Why are we wrong to think of space flight only in terms of rocket power?
How was a soldier "teleported" from the Phillippine Islands to Mexico City within one hour?
What force lifted 1200-ton stones in ancient Peru?
How is acceleration achieved by UFOs?
What caused the disappearance of the crews of the SS Sea Bird and the Marie Celeste?

This original edition of "The Case For the UFO" does NOT include the scrawled "annotations" of the infamous Carlos Allende (who may or may not have tormented Jessup into committing suicide). You will find this version much easier to read than the Varo Edition, and probably much more meaningful.
