For over 50 years Larry has studied the fascinating subject of UFOs and after taking early retirement he became seriously involved in researching what he likes to refer to as the flying saucer phenomena. He uses the term "flying Saucer" because he finds UFOs all inclusive. To be more precise it is generally accepted that 95% of all UFO sightings are something prosaic and it's the remaining 5% that cannot be explained.The problem with this is in the statistics. If these statistics are presented to the casual observer the natural thought would be if more research is done on the remaining 5%, they too could be explained. That is a false understanding. The 95% becomes 100% of prosaic sightings and the 5% becomes 100% of true flying saucer sightings.

What makes the book interesting is the journey that John took in his efforts to retrieve the documents from various agencies using his expertise in FOIA.

On October 11th, 1973 nineteen-year-old Calvin Parker and his friend forty-two-year-old Charles Hickson were spending a frustrating evening fishing on the Pascagoula River in Mississippi. In the early evening both men were startled when a strange craft descended and hovered a few feet above the ground and just a few yards from their location. Before they had any chance to run, an opening appeared in this craft and out ‘floated’ three humanoid creatures. Both men were absolutely terrified when these creatures grabbed them and took them aboard the craft. On the craft both men were subjected to an examination. Minutes later both Parker and Hickson were dropped back on the riverbank and the craft departed. Taking off in their car the two terrified witnesses eventually located a public telephone and a short time later they were being interviewed at their local sheriff’s office. The two told their story of their close encounter. The next day all hell was let loose as the press descended on this unsuspecting Mississ

Adam Dew, you might say, is the force behind the Roswell Slides, which were initially claimed to show the body of an alien creature. Working with Don Schmitt and Tom Carey, the slides were slowly released to the world in a series of announcements and teases. This culminated in the BeWitness presentation in Mexico City on May 5, 2016. Literally within hours it was discovered that the image on the slides was that of a child who had died in the desert southwest several hundred years ago. The slides had been taken in a museum sometime prior to May 1947 which eliminated the Roswell crash as the source. It is now nearly universally accepted that the image of the slides is a mummy.Dew has described himself this way. Quoting him, “I can shepherd any video project from outline to final product. The bulk of my work is in quick-turn on-site shooting/editing, sports marketing and corporate videos of all types and sizes. “I also own VarsityTape.com which is Chicago-based, but helps high school athletes all across the coun

Thomas Eddie Bullard was born in North Carolina in 1949 and developed an early interest in flying saucers thanks to Friday and Saturday nights at the movies, where he saw such classics as "Earth Versus the Flying Saucers". Sputnik inspired him to begin reading the newspapers and he no sooner started than the Levelland sightings piqued his curiosity. He began to read all the UFO publications he could find--Keyhoe's books, Dick Hall's "The UFO Evidence", Fate, Ray Palmer's Flying Saucers--and he eventually joined NICAP and APRO in the 1960s.After spending his undergraduate years at the University of North Carolina, Bullard went to graduate school in Folklore at Indiana University, and wrote his dissertation on UFOs, completing his doctoral degree in 1982.During his research he scanned a great many newspapers for reports of the 1896-97 airship and other pre-1947 sightings. He continued this work by traveling to state archives and began issuing collections of this material as The Airship File in 1982. When the Fu
