Description
This like new edition of Flying Saucers Over the White House is a rare gem for serious ufology enthusiasts and collectors. Colin Bennett delivers a riveting deep dive into the legacy of Captain Edward J. Ruppelt, the pioneering director of Project Blue Book. Ruppelt coined the term "UFO" and led the only official U.S. Air Force effort to scientifically investigate unidentified aerial phenomena during the height of Cold War anxiety.
More than a biography, this book unveils the cultural, political, and psychological dimensions of America’s early contact with the unexplained. With a foreword by Jerome Clark and introduction by Nick Pope, it provides crucial context for today’s renewed global interest in military UFO disclosures.
In stunning condition with crisp pages, a tight spine, and minimal shelf wear, this copy is preserved in an archival sleeve. Out of print and seldom seen in this condition—this is the only copy available and may never resurface.
