Behind the Flying Saucers

SIZE: 5 ½ x 8 ½ (approximately) PAGES: 230 pages. Good/Good dust jacket condition. BACKGROUND/DESCRIPTION: What are flying saucers? Where do they come from? How do they fly? Have they been found on this earth? These questions and the observations and facts which surround them are discussed in this believe-it-or-not - a story stranger than fiction which may prove that journeys through space are as commonplace as an ordinary milk-run... This is Frank Scully's best-selling book that caused an immediate sensation when it was first published in 1950. There was a tremendous response to this extraordinary story claiming that extraterrestrial beings were being recovered from three flying saucers in Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada. There was a report that one crashed near Aztec, New Mexico. Scully revealed two sources of his information to be a Silas Newton and a scientist named "Dr. Gee". The character Dana Scully from the X-files is named after the author. This is a scarce first edition, first printing in a good dust jacket.
