The Flying Saucers are Real - PDF download

[Belfegor]

Hi all,

We've just released Issue 2 of Sub Rosa Magazine, and as a bonus download we are offering a free PDF download of Donald Keyhoe's influential book The Flying Saucers are Real. The PDF is professionally typeset, and is nice and small at around 640kb.

The PDF can be downloaded from the Sub Rosa website downloads page:

Peace and Respect,
Greg

That's well worth a read for anyone interested in the early history of the flying saucer myth. For further reading, I'd recommend visiting this page: Classic Contactees

Link is dead. The MIA webpage (and its linked resources) can be accessed via the Wayback Machine:

It contains links to free editions of George Adamski's Inside The Spaceships and Orfeo Angelucci's now forgotten Secrets of the Saucers as well as articles on the likes of Buck Nelson (who visited Venus with his dog) and Truman Bethurium.

I love re-visiting these oldies...(probably for all the wrong fortean reasons - but perhaps a little bit of nostalgia too... )

which bit's the myth?

 

[Graylien]

The whole thing.

Myth:
1 a : a usually traditional story of ostensibly historical events that serves to unfold part of the world view of a people or explain a practice, belief, or natural phenomenon
2 a : a popular belief or tradition that has grown up around something or someone; especially : one embodying the ideals and institutions of a society or segment of society <seduced by the American myth of individualism -- Orde Coombs> b : an unfounded or false notion
3 : a person or thing having only an imaginary or unverifiable existence
4 : the whole body of myths
[quoted from Merriam-Webster dictionary]

This isn't necessarily to say that flying saucers or aliens aren't real; merely that a body of belief has grown up around them which is out of all proportion to their "unverifiable existence".
