The Flying Saucers Are Real

De: Donald Keyhoe

Narrado por: Thomas Cassidy

The original book made into this audiobook is the first in-depth, authoritative look at the flying-saucer phenomenon and is considered to this day to be one of the best works on the subject ever made. It is an extremely well-researched work with facts that were documented, containing none of the disinformation and hype that has crept into the field over time.

The author was a retired Marine Corps major who became an aviation writer and was therefore perfect for the job of researching and creating this work. Using his own knowledge and information from friends in the military, Keyhoe came to the conclusion that UFOs originate from outer space and the US military was engaged in a cover-up.

He includes a number of documented cases where thousands of people witnessed strange objects in the sky, all at the same time and in various parts of the country. Eyewitnesses are interviewed, and much is done to show how and why the veil of government secrecy was enforced.

Foundational Explanation of How the Bureaucratic Monster We’ve Inherited First Came About

Keyhoe presents a nonsensatinal straightforward recounting of his research into the nascent “UFO problem” between 1945 and 1950. It is told primarily from a military perspective, so we see the beginnings of how governmental agencies and military branches (the Air Force and CIA were newly created during this period) evolved their approach to cases and developed the national narrative of “nothing to see here”. He wastes no time or words in covering the foundational cases that military personnel experienced, multiple sources corroborated, and scientific research supported. At least one such case resulted in an Air Force pilot’s death. Unfortunately, most of these cases, though incontrovertible, have been forgotten either by ignorance or design in the subsequent decades, permitting people unfamiliar with the documentation to believe there is no proof for the reality of unidentified flying vehicles of non-human origin.

Good read. Helps historical perspective on UAPs

It is an interesting book that helps one understand how the current UFO situation came to be and how intelligence agencies specifically the Air Force, set the stage for secrecy, denial and flat out lies about this technology. Also helps you get perspective on what the real reason for the UAP visits to planet earth might be. Overall,worth your time.
