description: One of the more credible books arguing the existence of UFOs, this account tells of the alleged crash of a "flying saucer" near Corona, N.M., on July 3, 1947. Nuclear physicist Friedman and Berliner, founder of the Fund for UFO Research, note that of the many people who collected the debris, not a single one failed to turn every last scrap over to the Army. They assert that in the wreckage were small, "humanoid" beings. The authors' arguments gain credibility as they report the paranoid reaction of the military, which, they claim, cajoled and threatened witnesses into silence, supposedly to protect the earth from space invaders. Most arresting of all is the testimony of those who handled the debris, who had no opportunity to compare notes, yet have described the materials--mostly consisting of a flexible metal-like substance, in some cases marked by characters resembling hieroglyphics--in almost identical language.
