Coral Lorenzen - Flying Saucers - The Startling Evidence of the Invasion From Outer Space.pdf

USA, Brazil, Venezuela, Sweden, Brazil, Mexico, Australia, France: countries covered in this detailed book. Coral Lorenzen was founder of APRO, which published regular UFO bulletins. In this book, an expanded version of her earlier The Great Flying Saucer Hoax, she draws on research of Olavo Fontes, including his theory that an invasion from outer space is under way. The book describes the progression of reported UFO activity, from surveying mountains in 1947, to military bases from 1948 to 1950 and again in 1957, to reservoirs from 1962.

The book covers similar ground to Gray Barker's Book of Saucers, but in more depth, e.g. with the Antonio Villas Boas case and the incident in Brazil where a man was reportedly abducted by two spheres. Lorenzen also reviews some of the cases from Edward Ruppelt's Report on UFOs and points out where Ruppelt deceived his readers, e.g. the Mantell incident, the George Gorman incident and the D.S. Desvergers Florida scoutmaster incident. Other stuff: a Korean war incident when a pilot's radar went haywire when he readied his guns to fire on a UFO, two Swedes attacked by grey skittle-like creatures, a hunter besieged by aliens and robots blasting noxious gas at him in California's Cisco Grove mountains, incidents of Levelland, Texas, 1957, including the case of James Stokes, the Ubatuba incident, including analysis of fragments of a reported exploded UFO, damage done to a Brazilian cargo plane when it reportedly followed a UFO, the apparent alien attack on a garrison at Itaipu, Brazil using suspected microwave ionizing beams and ultrasonic heat waves, a suspicious transport plane crash at McChord AFB, suspected alien reconnaissance over Brazil involving biological and ecological survey and subsequent acts of hostility, an attack with sulphurous heat waves on the home of a woman who shone a light at a passing UFO, the Socorro incident and subsequent follow-up by Army Intelligence, the tactics of Dr. J. Allen Hynek to divert media attention away from an incident, the case of Maurice Masse, reportedly zapped by a weapon that caused paralysis, the November-December 1965 blackouts.

This book was enthusiastically reviewed by John Keel for Saucer News. It is probably the first book since Wilhelm Reich's Contact with Space to make an outright case for UFO hostility. Lorenzen: "We are confronted with a species which is obviously many years ahead of us in technological development; our next war may not be fought among nations; it could very well be all nations fighting as brothers against a common foe from outer space."
