About the Book
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!Book Synopsis
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?
Review Quotes
UFO expert Nick Pope says, "If you think the UFO mystery began in 1947 with flying saucers and the Roswell crash, think again. This fascinating, data-rich book explores a wealth of intriguing incidents that were formerly interpreted through the lens of folklore, but which could now lead to a fundamental reappraisal of the greatest mystery of the modern age. With the focus on the 19th century, this delightful tome shines a light on a slice of American history that shows truth really can be stranger than fiction."
Best-selling author Donald Schmitt says, "What Torres and LeMay have clearly defined in this suspenseful thriller tome, is that the UFO accounts portrayed throughout this exhaustively researched work, remain in a separate class.... Aside from a rare hot-air balloon or dirigible, there was nothing else in the air back then... or on the ground; the witnesses are clearly describing something which precedes the Wright Brothers technology.... The simple fact that such cases exist in an era where the sky above us was still pristine and H. G. Wells had yet to conquer the Earth with Martians should captivate us all...."
Ruben J. Uriarte of the Mutual UFO Network says, "Before airplanes were invented, journalists and scientists of the 19th century recorded hundreds of sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena crisscrossing the skies of America. This amazing new book provides a startlingly detailed look at these early UFO cases, which tend to confirm that we are not alone!"
