"Do you know that flying saucers once buzzed the White House?

"Did you realize that the United States Air Force has motion pictures of flying saucers?

"Can you believe that w are on the verge of a far greater discovery than even atomic energy?

"Major Donald E. Keyhoe, U.S.M.C., Ret., is a responsible, accurate reporter -- the recognized civilian authority on flying saucers. Here are the up-to-the-minute facts based on official Air Force documents now made public for the first time.

"Here is Major Keyhoe's startling and awesome conclusion, reached on the basis of overwhelming evidence -- flying saucers are interplanetary!" [jacket blurb, US pbk, 1954]

"Three years ago, in a book entitled The Flying Saucers Are Real , I reported the results of my first investigation into this world-wide mystery. At that time I stated my belief that the U.S. Air Force knew the answer and was hiding it from the public.

"Since July, 1952, in a new investigation of the saucers, I have been privileged to cooperate with the Air Force. Because of my present understanding of their very serious problem, and certain dangers inherent in the situation, I have been given information unknown to most Americans.

"Scores of impressive sighting reports by service pilots have been cleared for me, with the conclusions of Air Technical Intelligence -- some so incredible they would have been ridiculed two or three years ago.

"As a result of this close association, this book reveals, I believe, all that the Air Force has learned about the flying saucers. It also explains the contradictions that have come, from time to time, from various Defense officials, as well as the reasons for official silence." --Donald E.Keyhoe (from the Foreword , 1953).

"An early look behind the scenes at Project Bluebook. Refutes the theories of Dr. Donald Menzel, the official UFO debunker for the government." --Henry W.Targowski (in Mark/Space , January 1998).
