The UFO Conspiracy

The UFO Conspiracy: The First Forty Years surveys the modern UFO story from the flying-saucer reports of 1947 to the official and public debates of 1987. Jenny Randles covers landmark claims including Roswell, sightings over Washington DC, alleged alien contact and reports involving aircraft, radar and witnesses.

The book broadens its scope beyond the United States, discussing cases from Britain, Australia, South America, South Africa, Spain, New Zealand and the USSR. It also considers photographs, claimed physical effects, radiation reports and alleged fatalities before examining government secrecy, released documents and differing official responses across Europe and North America.
