A History of U.F.O.s & Aliens & Close Encounters Pages at Spirit of America Bookstore

“If the government is covering up knowledge of aliens, they are doing a better job of it than they do at anything else.”
— Stephen W. Hawking [1942-2018]

The history of Unidentified Flying Objects began in the late 1940s and the 1950s, parallel to the 'Red Scare' hysteria of the times.

1783 Sept 19: Jacques Etienne Montgolfier launched a hot-air balloon at Versailles in France with a duck, a sheep, and a rooster on board.

1903 Kittyhawk

1947 July 8: U.S. Army Air Force officials announced to a gullible newspaper reporter that a 'flying disc' had crashed 130 miles from Roswell, New Mexico, but later the same day corrected the report by announcing that the object was a weather balloon.

There is no credible evidence in any archive, no documentation or record anywhere, of concerns or reports by anyone about aliens & U.F.O.s at Roswell, New Mexico that pre-date the creation of the Roswell U.F.O. Museum in 1991. The entire phenomenon is an elaborate & quite lucrative hoax, based on the crash of a weather balloon in July 1947, which event anyway took place 130 miles away just outside Corona, New Mexico.
Roswell U.F.O. hoax debunked in the Albuquerque Journal newspaper
by editor Kendrick Frazier of Skeptical Enquirer in July 2017

1948 March: Two con men in Aztec, New Mexico convinced a gullible newspaper reporter that a 100-foot-diameter metal disk had recently crash-landed outside town and that the U.S. government had hauled away the spacecraft and 16 alien bodies.

The supposed incident at Aztec, New Mexico in March 1948 (just nine months after the Roswell, NM weather balloon incident) purports that a 100-foot-diameter disk spacecraft landed near Aztec, and that The Guvvermint hauled away 16 alien bodies; for a while, the story fueled the Aztec UFO Symposium [1997-2011]. This 1950 hoax derived from a gullible newspaper reporter passing along the unverified story of Silas M. Newton and Leo GeBauer; the latter two con men were convicted of a different fraud on 14 October 1952 and sent to prison.

1957 Oct 4: The Soviet Union successfully launched the Sputnik I satellite, which began the Space Race.

1969 Dec 17: The U.S. Air Force closed its Project Blue Book, concluding that there was no evidence of extraterrestrial spaceships behind thousands of U.F.O. sightings.

1991: the creation of the Roswell U.F.O. Museum

          t e x t
          h e r e
          The incident at Roswell has become iconic, with other similar events being dubbed Russia's Roswell (Kapustin Yar - 1950s), Canada's Roswell (Shag Harbour - 1967), Brasil's Roswell (Colares, Pará - 1977), and England's Roswell (Rendlesham Forest - 1980)

Selected Works About U.F.O.s
The entire U.F.O. phenomenon might be considered fiction, but then maybe not; after adding more & more books in this section,
the purely fiction works were moved down to their own section.
