Description
Flying saucers have been a part of military and popular imagination since their arrival in the 1940s. Timothy Jenkins explores how categories and objects change over time, tracing continuities and discontinuities in the post-war American adventure of imagining alien life. The concept of flying saucers has evolved with new technologies, allowing for relays between human groups, places, and times. This book examines the different scientific models used to make sense of sightings, revealing broader schemes and possibilities. It offers a comprehensive account of the features, puzzles, anomalies, and paradoxes of flying saucer reports. By reviewing various scientific models, Jenkins provides insight into the properties that are both real and imaginary in these phenomena.
