Published, 1950. THE FLYING SAUCERS ARE REAL by Donald Keyhoe New York To Helen, with loveDonald E. Keyhoe, who relates here his investigation of the flyingsaucers, writes with twenty-five years of experience in observingaeronautical developments.He is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis. He flew inactive service with the Marine Corps, managed the tour of the historicplane in which Bennett and Byrd made their North Pole flight, was aideto Charles Lindbergh after the famous Paris flight, and was chief ofinformation for the Aeronautics Branch, Department of Commerce. Author's NoteON APRIL 27, 1949, the U.S. Air Force stated:"The mere existence of some yet unidentified flying objectsnecessitates a constant vigilance on the part of Project 'Saucer'personnel, and on the part of the civilian population."Answers have been--and will be--drawn from such factors as guidedmissile research activity, balloons, astronomical phenomena. . . . Butthere are still question marks."Possibilities that the saucers are foreign aircraft have also beenconsidered. . . . But observations based on nuclear power plantresearch in this country label as 'highly improbable' the existence onEarth of engines small enough to have Powered the saucers."Intelligent life on Mars . . . is not impossible but is completelyunproven. The possibility of intelligent life on the Planet Venus isnot considered completely unreasonable by astronomers."The saucers are not jokes. Neither are they cause for alarm."[1]On December 27, 1949, the Air Force denied the existence of flyingsaucers.[2]On December 30, 1949, the Air Force revealed part of a secret Project"Saucer" report to members of the press at Washington. The officialreport stated:"It will never be possible to say with certainty that any individualdid not see a space ship, an enemy missile, or some other object."Discussing the motives of possible visitors from space, the reportalso stated:"Such a civilization might observe that on Earth we now have atomicbombs and are fast developing rockets. In view of the past history ofmankind, they should be[1. Project "Saucer" Preliminary Study of Flying Saucers.2. Air Force Press Release 629-49.'{p. 6}alarmed. We should therefore expect at this time above all to beholdsuch visitations."(In its April 22 report, Project "Saucer" stated that space traveloutside the solar system is almost a certainty.)On February 22, 1950, the Air Force again denied the existence offlying saucers. On this same date, two saucers reported above Key WestNaval Air Station were tracked by radar; they were described asmaneuvering at high speed fifty miles above the earth. The Air Forcerefused to comment.On March 9, 1950, a large metallic disk was pursued by F-51 and jetfighters and observed by scores of Air Force officers at Wright Field,Ohio. On March 18, an Air Force spokesman again denied that saucersexist and specifically stated that they were not American guidedmissiles or space-exploration devices.I have carefully examined all Air Force saucer reports made in thelast three years. For the past year, I have taken part in a specialinvestigation of the flying-saucer riddle.I believe that the Air Force statements, contradictory as they appear,are part of an intricate program to prepare America--and theworld--for the secret of the disks.{p. 7} CHAPTER IIT WAS A strange assignment.I picked up the telegram from my desk and read it a third time.NEW YORK, N.
