The Mammoth Book of Ufos

by Lynn Picknett

  • First published:
  • 21st century

Today the UFO phenomenon is generally thought of as beginning in 1947 when Kenneth Arnold saw nine objects flying in formation that he described, memorably, as "flying saucers", but history has recorded strange objects being seen in the skies and encounters with otherworldly entities for many centuries before that classic sighting.
