UFO Encounters Ep49 | UFO Sightings In History

UFO Encounters Ep49 | UFO Sightings In History

This week I am reading from Chris Aubeck's book 'Saucers: Tracing the Origins of Disc-Shaped UFOs'.

Why does the term “flying saucer” appear in newspapers fifty years before UFOs were first sighted in 1947? Why did the original witness, Kenneth Arnold, insist he never saw disc-shaped objects at all? Can we find signs of disc-shaped objects through the ages? And have they become almost extinct today?

In Saucers, veteran ufologist Chris Aubeck takes the reader on a deep dive into Arnold's own first-hand accounts and, for the first time, presents evidence that we might have been chasing the wrong flying objects all along.

For anyone puzzled why saucers once flooded the skies yet scarcely appear now, Saucers sheds new light on the origins of this iconic symbol. No matter where you stand on this controversial issue, this book will challenge your views. There has never been a better time to be informed about how flying saucers became embedded in our culture.

Bio

His interest in the historical and sociological aspects of unexplained aerial phenomena began at an early age. A student of language and folklore, he has helped compile the largest collection of pre-1947 UFO cases in the world. He has spoken on his research in many articles and on public radio. In 2008 he was awarded a prize for his contributions to the field by the Spanish organization Fundación Anomalía.

In 2003 Chris Aubeck co-founded a remarkable collaborative network of librarians, students and scholars of paranormal history on the Internet. This group, known as the Magoniax Project, extends from North and Central America to Russia and Germany. It has accumulated thousands of references, searched media archives in several languages, and gathered hundreds of rare documents, scientific reports, and newspaper clippings from the last 400 years.
