Fast shipping. The book was as described, used but like new. Probably never read. Price was reasonable. I would purchase books from this seller again-no problem.

One of the better UFO alarmist books ...

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2005

First of all, what's wrong with trying to sell books by writing material of interest to the intended audience? That's what all authors do.

Second, this was one of many books written about UFOs during the sixties and certainly is one of the better ones. Edwards tends to just present the facts of the cases as he knows them and leaves out all the mystical mumbo jumbo present in many other author's UFO books.

It's up to the reader to decide whether he wants to accept any of the cases as possible genuine evidence of an extraterrestial presence, but in any case it's a fun read which allows for some moments of suspension of disbelief. Besides, how often do you get a chance to buy a book for one penney?

A journey back in time

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2011

The title "Flying Saucers - Serious business" is from an Air Force order issued to all Air Force personal on 12/24/1959. This is a very important book. The author Frank Edwards (a hugely popular journalist and radio personality) collected the information in this book until published in 1966. Here are the accounts early in the US Governments cover up with details on how UFO censorship changed over time. Many interesting cases are documented back to the 19th Century including many that are becoming forgotten today.

What stands out is how much UFO activity there has been in this century, especially since the 1940s. Some major cases today (Roswell and Kecksberg) are only mentioned in passing while other nearly forgotten cases are detailed. This book is a UFO research missing link because it was written so much closer in time to the major UFO events from the 1940s to the 1960s by a man that spent much of his life collecting the evidence.

In compiling a list of must-haves for UFO related literature, I came across a reference to this book. Frank Edwards, not to be confused for Frank Scully, really did his research, and released it in 1966, the year after a big world wide flap. This book was excellent, Edwards was a real reporter type and his quotes from military establishment were solid and thought provoking. While the copy I purchased is in poor condition, this was a great read and is in my top ten list, time has made this tome obscure, and it must be preserved as required reading for any student of the UFO world.

I read this back when I was twelve or so. Re-reading it was a trip down memory lane in a flying disc. Interestingly well written in a style that assume the facts are true and that explanations are “fake news” ... Edwards was ahead of his time.

Thought Provoking

Many books were written about UFOs during the sixties. This is one of the better ones. The author presents the facts he received from the Air Force, eye witness accounts, and newspapers. This author makes it a fun read. I know for a fact unexplained things do happen from my personal experience, May 13, 1963. I did not see how I could write a book about it, but I did include it as a chapter in my bio, which I wrote as a gift to my daughter and grandchildren. The Title is, 'The Night the Big Dipper had Eight stars.[
