Here's the first book I finished reading in 2025...
When a wave of anomalous lights invaded the skies over Washington, D.C. between July 12 and July 29 in 1952, the word "flap" was used to describe a series of UFO sightings for the very first time. Exactly twenty-five years later, Leonard H. Stringfield published a comprehensive book about a similar epidemic of unexplained UFO sightings that dominated global newspaper headlines in 1973. It was fascinating reading Stringfield's SITUATION RED: THE UFO SIEGE (Doubleday, 1977) against the present-day backdrop of panicked news items breathlessly describing formations of enigmatic "drones" choking the skies over military bases in New Jersey, Ohio, San Diego, and beyond.
Stringfield, a vanguard UFO researcher, established many of the tropes of modern UFOlogy while researching the flying saucer phenomenon from the 1950s to the early 1990s. You can hear a rare recording of one of Stringfield's hour-plus lectures (delivered in conjunction with the publication of SITUATION RED) thanks to the auspices of YouTube...
