The Essential Guide to UFO Sightings Since 1945 (Schiffer Publishing 2017) by Frank Schwede is a small but mighty collection of specific UFO cases that many readers may have heard of or read about at one point in time. The book covers the topics of over ten noted sightings since 1945. The stories are supported by data, facts, and several color photographs from newspaper or magazine archives.
Start by studying the Table of the most Commonly Sighted UFO types. The table is full of drawings of UFO’s shapes and sizes from the 1940’s through the 1960’s. Read about UFO sightings by U. S. pilots and astronauts and learn the mysteries of the Black Triangle. Germany and the Soviet Union had their share of UFO sightings too. Were several counties witnessing the same thing at the same time?
UFO fans will get an in depth look at two of the well know UFO locations in the United states—Roswell, New Mexico and the notorious Area 51 in Nevada. Visitors flock to both locations, gazing up at the starlit skies in hopes of catching a glimpse of a mothership. They come to the museums to study maps and view artifact collections during the day. Many readers will begin to speculate what really happened at the Roswell crash site.
There is an interesting chapter about a case of Betty Cash and her friend Vickie Landrum. What did the pair witness one horrifying night along a farm road in Texas in December 1980? Read eye witness reports from travelers along the famed Extraterrestrial Highway near Rachel.
The Essential Guide to UFO Sightings just might make you a believer of the unexplained lights in the Heavens.
