IS ANOTHER WORLD WATCHING? The Riddle of the Flying Saucers

by Gerald Heard ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 11, 1951

The public appetite for theoretical and fanciful treatment of the flying saucer mystery may have been satisfied by the recent U.S. Navy release of the facts. But Mr. Heard has something more to say, more scholarly and scientific than the Scully presentation. He roots his theories in historical records of mysterious emanations since 1877, suggesting they are peaceful observation spaceships piloted by intelligent insects from our sister planet, Mars. The reason for their coming is concern over the cataclysms on Earth, wars, atomic bomb explosions, etc., which create spots on the Sun. While the factual content can be taken with many grains of salt, the presumption of the moral issues of war and atomic weapons is the evident intention of the book.
