description: In BEHIND THE FLYING SAUCERS, readers have the full-length fascinating, inside story of those disks which have caused so much excitement these past months. Here, carefully put together in book form, are the theories and actualities of magnetic propulsion, eye-witness accounts of disks discovered in the magnetic fault zones of the West--disks made of material unknown on this earth, disks manned by Lilliputian crews, disks carrying such extraordinary devices and machines as to confound our most brilliant experts.Frank Scully (1892-7/23/64) was an author in the '40s &amp; '50s who wrote for the show business publication Variety. In 10-11/49, Scully published two columns in Variety, claiming that extraterrestrial beings were recovered from a flying saucer crash, based on what he said was reported to him by a scientist involved. His '50 book Behind the Flying Saucers expanded on the theme, adding that there had been three such incidents in New Mexico &amp; one in Arizona, including one that crashed near Aztec, NM in '48 that was 100' in diameter. The saucers supposedly worked on magnetic principles. In the book, Scully revealed two sources to be a Silas Newton &amp; a scientist named "Dr. Gee". 60,000 copies of the book were sold.
