Chasing The Flying Saucers: A Chronicle of the Golden Age of UFOs

4/5 ( ratings)

In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the heyday of classic saucering, the most popular UFO magazine in the world was Ray Palmer’s "Flying Saucers." The most popular column in this widely distributed periodical was “Chasing the Saucers,” a series authored by literary great Gray Barker.

From his “secret” headquarters deep in the hills of West Virginia, Barker scoured newspapers and wire services from all over the world, bringing his fans the most up-to-date news on the latest UFO encounters and unusual “Fortean” events.

At times sober and objective, at other times intimate, speculative, and self-deprecating, Barker displays the full palette of his trade, drawing the reader into his own unique and fascinating world - the world of the saucers.

As one turns these pages, one learns much about what really happened in those halcyon days, and what was going on behind the scenes of ufology. Barker’s eye for detail and understanding of human psychology add special flair to this classic study of a true paranormal enigma.

This special 2015 reprint provides in-depth coverage on several famous UFO cases , making "Chasing the Flying Saucers" an indispensable resource for today’s paranormal investigator. Also featured are enlightening introductions from two of Barker’s trusted friends and colleagues, editor Rick Hilberg and Prof. David J. Halperin.

“A true master of suspense...” -UFO Magazine

“One mystery delightfully studying another one...” -Tiny Tim

“Responsible reportage from one of a very few privy to the secret of the saucers.” -Commander X

“A fabulous and rich blend of style and substance, without which the golden age of flying saucers might never have existed...”
-London Monthly Journal
