New Saucerian Press is pleased to present The Perspicacious Percipient: How to Investigate UFOs and Other Insane Urges, a collection of magazine articles by John A. Keel, the man many consider to have been not only the premiere investigator of all things unusual and Fortean but who was also our own 20th-century Mark Twain.

Many of the articles in this anthology and its companion volumes, Flying Saucer to the Center of Your Mind, The Outer Limits of the Twilight Zone, Searching for the String, The Great Phonograph in the Sky, and The Passionate Percipient: Illusions I Have Known And Loved, were revolutionary and explored ideas popularized in Keel's classic books. Written in Keel's engaging trademark style, they are sure to delight fans with their fresh, unparalleled insights into the nature of reality.

In the book, John Keel displays the keen observational skills and investigative tenacity that made him the enfant terrible of ufology for decades. In this no-holds-barred analysis - much of it written decades ago - Keel shreds many of the sacred-cow beliefs still held in ufological and cryptozoological circles today and presents theories so radical that they are only now becoming accepted: the 4-D or interdimensional thesis; the breakaway civilization theory; the possible role of ancient aliens in human history; the synthetic and/or hallucinatory nature of many alien abduction and men in black encounters; the role of spy agencies in paranormal research; and the alarming connection between UFOs, animal mutilations, and attacks on unsuspecting humans.

The Perspicacious Percipient is the grand finale to the six-part John Keel Collection series of books - a must-have for serious UFO researchers.

Keel was the Stan Lee of Forteana

Keel was the Stan Lee, or the Jack Kirby, or the George Carlin of Forteana and ufology. Without ever trying to be a comedian in his investigations, he wrote many laugh-out-loud lines (he'd been a writer for Get Smart and other '60s TV shows). His material is ascendant but sensible and down-to-earth (not intended as a pin; Keel just covered all ground...still no pun intended), and always impressively approachable. You get the bang for your buck with Keel. He's like a radio signal from both past and future, picked up in the depths of a pitch black night.

It's more like 9 hours of bashing NICAP.

I was hoping that this was going more about technical advice about investigations or anecdotal stories about his own research and investigations. That is what I hoped. Instead this was mostly 9 hours of bashing NICAP. Also their are these weird gaps of dead audio. You can tell that this was converted from multiple cassettes and not done all that well.
