Book Description
When you first saw this book, you probably assumed it was fiction, right? Wrong! As it turns out, America's Old West cowboys did encounter UFOs and also creatures that they believed were “aliens." This happened not in comic books and films but in real life. In this book, you will read actual eyewitness accounts describing strange objects seen in the skies, and, in some cases, the even stranger occupants of those UFOs! Did you know that many years before the reported crash of a UFO near Roswell New Mexico, another weird object fell out of the sky in Aurora, Texas, in 1897? The citizens of Aurora said the dead pilot was “not of this world,” and they buried him in the local cemetery, where he may still remain today. You will also learn about the flying alien monster of Crawfordsville, Indiana; the “underwater UFO” that electrocuted two men near Tacoma, Washington; a Bigfoot creature the local Native Americans said came to earth in a “small moon;” a UFO that exploded over a Texas cotton gin; and many other bizarre UFO encounters of the Old West!

Book Description
During the turbulent times of the "Wild West," America's farmers, ranchers, and cowboys looked up into the sky and beheld "signs and wonders" that rival any UFO sighting of the modern era. In addition to the airships above them, on the ground below they encountered strange humanoids in possession of futuristic technology, glimpsed unidentified submersible objects in the water, and dug up alien artifacts from the earth. This book doesn't just cover typical airship encounters of the era. It also details sightings of Men in Black, a Reptilian in 1892, and what sound to be underwater dwelling aliens in Pyramid Lake, Nevada! After reading this book you'll ask yourself: Was a UFO sighted in Pascagoula, Mississippi, in 1874 related to another sighting there a hundred years later? Were strange lights floating along the train tracks in Edwardsville, Kansas, in 1878 those of a UFO or a Phantom Locomotive? Was an alien spotted in 1880 Kentucky the same specter named Spring-Heeled Jack that terrorized London in the 1830s? And, did a giant sword that fell to earth in New York State in 1883 come from the heavens or another dimension altogether?

Book Description
On August 25, 1974, along the Rio Grande River near the Texas border town of Presidio, a thunderous explosion in the sky shattered the stillness of the warm summer night. An unidentified flying disc traveling at 2,000 miles per hour collided with a small airplane heading south from El Paso, Texas. The flaming wreckage of both aircraft fell to the Mexican desert below, igniting a desperate race by two governments to recover technology from beyond the stars. This book was the basis for an episode of the History Channel's "UFO Hunters" television series. REVIEWS: "Amazing! This story is wilder than the U.S. Roswell.

Friedman, UFO Researcher.

Book Description
This doomsday masterpiece from the author of Eon and Hull Zero Three was a finalist for the Hugo and Nebula awards. On July 26, Arthur Gordon learns that Europa, the sixth moon of Jupiter, has disappeared. Not hiding, not turned black, but gone. On September 28th, Edward Shaw finds an error in the geological records of Death Valley. A cinder cone was left off the map. Could it be new? Or, stranger yet, could it be artificial? The answer may be lying beside it—a dying Guest who brings devastating news for Edward and for Planet Earth. As more unexplained phenomena spring up around the globe—a granite mountain appearing in Australia, sounds emanating from the earth’s core, flashes of light among the asteroids—it becomes clear to some that the end is approaching, and there is nothing we can do. In The Forge of God, award-winning author Greg Bear describes the final days of the world on both a massive, scientific scale and in the everyday, emotional context of individual human lives. Facing the destruction of all they know, some people turn to God, others to their families, and a few turn to saviors promising escape from a planet being torn apart. Will they make it in time? And who gets left behind to experience the last moments of beauty and chaos on earth? Nominated for the Nebula, Hugo, and Locus Awards, The Forge of God is an engrossing read, breathtaking in its scope and in its detail.

Book Description
No, this book is not merely about the Tombstone Pterodactyl and the notorious "Thunderbird photo". This book is in fact about every dinosaurian creature to ever have a rifle pointed at it by a cowpoke along the trail. Courtesy of real newspaper articles collected from the Pioneer Period, you'll marvel as pterodactyls invade Van Meter, Iowa; a plesiosaur attacks spelunkers in Arkansas; and ghost dinosaurs glide across the Badlands of South Dakota! In the pages ahead you'll ask yourself: Did Brigham Young really try to catch Utah's Bear Lake Monster? Did a Crow Medicine Man actually carry an enchanted Meganuera with him to Custer's Last Stand? Was the first Komodo Dragon discovered in 1910 Indonesia or 1883 Indiana? Are the Marfa Lights of Texas really just bioluminescent pterodactyls? What was the giant reptile that raced a stagecoach in Yellowstone? Did a carnivorous theropod kill a young boy in Crosswicks, Ohio? What kind of dinosaur crossed New Mexico's Jornada del Muerto? And finally, did the Tombstone Pterodactyl live on to terrify Utah in 1903? Straight from newspaper reports of yore, uncover the hidden history of dinosaurs in the Old West...

Book Description
The year was 1997 and some 40,000 tourists and reporters descended upon the desert town of Roswell, New Mexico, where 50 years earlier a flying saucer is said to have crashed. Even today, UFOs and “Little Green Men” remain Roswell's top tourist draw. This book takes a fresh new look at the Roswell Incident from an “insider's perspective ” – that of lifelong Roswell resident John LeMay, a historian and author born and raised in the Alien Capital of the World. His childhood being filled with tales of flying saucers and alien autopsies, John grew up knowing several key Roswell eyewitnesses, including Robert Shirkey, who said he saw UFO debris being loaded onto a B-29 bomber at the Roswell Army Air Field in 1947.In the first part of this remarkable new book, John's keen insight and marvelous sense of humor deliver a fresh new angle on the story of the Roswell UFO crash and on some of Roswell's other, lesser-known mysteries, such as the “alien ghost” that haunts the former New Mexico Rehabilitation Center; the “Second” Roswell UFO Crash of 1949; Bottomless Lakes where cars sink into the depths and monsters emerge to the surface; and The Headless Horsewoman of Lover's Lane, a Victorian Era Spook with an axe to grind against young lovers.Roswell is by no means the only town to use strange events and bizarre creatures to draw tourism dollars. Nor was it the first. In the second part of John's book, he takes us on a tour of other towns all over the U.S. that celebrate weirdness – like Churubusco, Indiana, where a giant turtle transformed the town into “Turtletown, USA.” There is also Point Pleasant, West Virginia, where a moth-like humanoid has inspired an Annual Mothman Festival and a year-round Mothman Museum. Take a dip in the White River Monster Reservoir in Jacksonport, Arkansas, and visit an alien's grave in Aurora, Texas. Cruise along the E.T. Highway near Rachel, Nevada, and have your picture taken with Bigfoot in Fouke, Arkansas.

Book Description
