John Keel's Book of UFOs: The Best of Flying Saucers Magazine

De: Raymond A. Palmer, Andrew Colvin

Narrado por: Clay Lomakayu

During the late 1960s and early 1970s, when he was subject to nonstop surveillance and harassment from both human and supernatural spooks, intrepid Fortean investigator John A. Keel made extensive field notes concerning the phenomena he was confronting in West Virginia and New York: UFOs, Men in Black, creature entities, ultraterrestrials, and odd coincidences and synchronicities. The result was a series of concise, thematically related reports, many of which were incorporated into magazine articles for Saga, Fate, Flying Saucer Review, and Flying Saucers magazine.

In those articles, Keel unraveled threads discussed in his classic books Operation Trojan Horse, The Mothman Prophecies, and The Eighth Tower, which were written soon after. Utilizing occult lore, recent scientific research, and direct personal investigation, Keel drew back the curtain on the mind-blowing nature of our terrestrial reality.

In this volume, we look at Keel's favorite articles from Flying Saucers magazine, which was published and edited largely by Ray Palmer. Keel went on record as saying that he thought Palmer was the "father of ufology", and he helped Palmer by submitting many articles to the magazine, and even helping with editing chores whenever possible.

This special Keel-curated edition features interesting articles by Keel, Palmer, Brad Steiger, Gray Barker, Brent Raynes, Peter Guttilla, William Cullen, Larry Bryant, Alois Knapp, Tom Lingham, Jennifer Stevens, Erich Aggen, Jr., Dennis Stamey, Alberto Perego, T. Scott Crain, and Hans Lauritzen.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The intersection of science and creative thinking..." (High Times)

“A great collection of classic articles from the field of ufology…" (UFO Magazine)

Not bad

The last chapter about casualties caused by UFOs made the 50% off sale price that I paid for this book worth it.

For die-hard Keel fans only

Definitely among Keel's driest works, this book nonetheless gives insights into the author's early thinking on UFO topics as well as his responses to various UFO events and controversies. The narrator has a strange, halting delivery that makes for a very bumpy ride. I doubt that Keel’s original manuscript used the word “Supposably” but I heard it here at least twice.

Keel's Perspicacity Shines

Great narration, incredible content. Keel was a great American polymath and speculator of mysterious regions where angels fear to tread. He was the Van Helsing to the Dracula of Mothman and M.I.C. squares obfuscating the bizarre game-changing possibilities that only a fine mind like Keel dared to consider.
