Abstract

'After the Flying Saucers Came' is a comprehensive account of the stories, the people and the strange events that went into making the fascination with UFOs and aliens a worldwide phenomenon among believers, skeptics and the simply curious. It traces how an odd sighting of 'flying saucers' by an American pilot in 1947 inspired governments, the media, scientists, writers and the general public to consider the possibility that extraterrestrials were visiting earth.
