Summary

Mark O'Connell

In June 1947, private pilot Kenneth Arnold looked out his cockpit window and saw a group of nine silvery crescents weaving between the peaks of the Cascade Mountains at an estimated 1,200 miles an hour. The media, the military, and the scientific community led by J. Allen Hynek, an astronomer hired by the Air Force debunked this and many other Unidentified Flying Object sightings reported across the country. But after years of denials, Hynek made a shocking pronouncement: UFOs are real.
This is the entertaining story of how the World's #1 Skeptic became a believer!
