The Emergence of the Modern UFO Mythos

How did aliens go from being our tall blonde space brothers and sisters (as well as hairy dwarves, goblins, elephant-skinned robots, and all manner of humanoid creatures) to being short, grey, bug-eyed creatures from Zeta Reticuli abducting us and working to replace us with hybrids? How did a forgotten story about a flying saucer being recovered by the Army Air Forces in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947 turn into the biggest UFO story in the late 20th century? This book looks at the beginnings of the popular UFO narrative and its evolution up to the present day, helped along by a disinformation agent seemingly gone rogue, U.S. military and intelligence insiders under the influence of esoteric new-age belief systems being promoted in those circles, and UFO “experts” who ranged from well-meaning investigators to outright hucksters looking to make a buck at the expense of witnesses who might have actually experienced something strange and profound.

Bio

CHARLES LEAR has many interests, of which UFOs take up more than a little of his time. His main interests in the UFO subject are in the documented history the phenomenon has spawned and the people who investigate it, as this book reflects. Charles’ other interests are geology and paleontology and his familiarity with science and its disciplines informs his approach to the UFO subject. Having lived most of his life in New York City, where he made his living as a union stagehand and was involved in other aspects of theatre as a playwright, producer, director and Shakespearean actor, Charles now resides in New York, USA.
