Inhaltsangabe

Graeme Rendall, author of UFOs Before Roswell, a critically acclaimed examination of the WW2 Foo Fighter phenomenon, continues his study of pilot and aircrew encounters during the 1940s and 1950s with Intercept & Identify.

In the aftermath of two weekends in July 1952 when airspace over the American capital was filled with strange lights and radar contacts, the US Air Force sought to shut down the UFO issue, falling back on "identifications" such as balloons, weather anomalies and cockpit reflections. Yet the following two years saw numerous reports being filed about encounters with strange objects and lights in the skies over the United States - and elsewhere around the world.

This book looks at pilot and aircrew sightings from 1953 and 1954 - two years' worth of incredible reports from across the globe involving fighter jet and transport crews, airliner captains and private pilots. Many witness statements were dismissed in favour of explanations that simply don't make sense when referring back to the only evidence - the testimony itself. This new book continues the author's look at aerial UFO encounters throughout the 1940s and 1950s - plus the fevered attempts behind the scenes to explain the problem, and when that wasn't possible, to diminish its importance entirely. Graeme draws from official air intelligence documents, newspaper articles and eyewitness accounts to examine what was occurring back in those heady days of the mid-1950s.
