Description:This is the book that proves that "flying saucers" are not extraterrestrial vehicles bringing little green men from outer space, but illusions produced by easily explainable meteorological and optical phenomena.Concentrating on the most widely publicized UFO sightings in this country from 1963 to 1975, Drs. Donald Menzel and Ernest Taves show in each case what really caused people to believe they were seeing flying saucers. A number were produced by atmospheric conditions, such as ice crystals or unusual lighting effects and clouds; others were the result of strange tricks played by radar; in a few instances UFO images were created by real spacecraft leaving or re-entering the atmosphere; and some sightings, of course, were pure hoaxes.Also included in this book are a brief history of man's fascination with celestial phenomena--from biblical times to the present; an evaluation of the theories of von Däniken and of the Bermuda Triangle mystery; and a discussion of why people so firmly resist rational explanations of what they believe to be "flying saucers."Scientific and completely up to date, this is the definitive study of the UFO phenomenon, with thought-provoking evidence for believers and skeptics alike.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
