Keyhoe: "Flying Saucers from Outer Space"

It's amazing how many people "doubt" that UFOs are extra-terrestrial visitors, when this point was essentially proven in the affirmative 60 years ago, by Donald Keyhoe in his 1953 book "Flying Saucers from Outer Space". He goes extensively through the overwhelming evidence for flying saucers/UFOs being extra-terrestrial, and then extensively through the various rationalizations by the Air Force and US government for how to deal with it. The saucers were *clearly* not US or USSR technology, and were clearly real flying machines. Back in 1953, the Air Force was pretty ambivalent about what to say about UFOs, whether to admit they were extra-terrestrial or cover it up. The argument was if they told people the truth, it might freak them out and cause a lot of societal disruption. At the same time, Keyhoe was very much of the mindset of disclosure, with the rationale that the American people needed to be prepared for the aliens in case they attacked and there was a war for the planet. Obviously, Keyhoe's view lost, and the CIA clamped down and shut off all disclosure. Since then, anyone who has talked about UFOs or ETs has been ignored or branded as a kook, due to the CIA influence. And god knows how the alien presence has messed up with our politics since 1953...
