Hare "The Flying Saucers are Real" by Donald E. Keyhoe is a scientific publication written in the early 1950s. The book investigates reports and anomalies concerning unidentified flying objects (UFOs), particularly in relation to military encounters and governmental secrecy. Keyhoe, with a background in aeronautics and military service, brings a seasoned perspective to the analysis of flying saucer phenomena, suggesting that some sightings may indicate extraterrestrial origins. At the start of the book, Keyhoe introduces the enigmatic nature of flying saucers and the official responses from the U.S. Air Force regarding their existence. He recounts a telegram from a magazine editor urging him to investigate the flying saucer mystery, spurring him into action. Keyhoe details his research process, including reviewing numerous sighting reports and contradictions in Air Force statements. He highlights notable incidents, particularly the death of Captain Thomas Mantell, who died while pursuing a mysterious object in the skies, questioning whether it was a secret military experiment or something otherworldly. This sets the tone for a comprehensive exploration of the complexities surrounding UFO sightings and the possible implications of their existence. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
