Product Description
Product Description
"This is the second of a ground-breaking new series compiled by former Police Officer John Hanson and his partner Dawn Holloway, with illustrations by David Sankey, and Wayne Mason. The multi-part series covers British UFO sightings from 1940 to the present day. This second volume deals with UFO reports from 1960-65; half a decade during which the world changed beyond all recognition. People who have followed the UFO subject in any depth will not be surpised to discover that the UFOs encountered during these years follow the socio-political changes of the people who witnessed them to a remarkable degree. Haunted Skies is the most ambitious series of books ever attempted in the history of ufology, and will - no doubt - provide a new benchmark in the quality of such publications".

This is the second volume of a planned multi-volume history focusing on UFO-related phenomena from the British Isles, the first serious and organized attempt at this major undertaking. This volume covers the period 1960-64, and there's a lot of material. The authors/compilers of the series are police officer John Hanson and his partner Dawn Holloway, with many other researchers credited as contributors of material.
The introduction this time is penned by Jenny Randles, with a brief note from the late, delightfully straight-talking (some would say curmudgeonly) Admiral of the Fleet Lord Hill Norton, once head of NATO, about the UFO issue and its impact on officialdom.
As with the first volume the authors have done an excellent job of detailing cases, meticulously sorting wheat from chaff.
The large-format paperback with magazine-style layout is carried over from the first volume, and this one comes in at just over 290 pages. David Sankey again supplies illustrations where relevant and useful. One interesting revelation is that large black triangular craft, with a light near each point of the triangle and one in the centre, were reported as far back as 1964 in British skies and this distinctive shape did not originate with the wave of sightings of identically described phenomena over Belgium in 1990.
Again thousands of sightings and encounters have probably been excluded because only what has been reported can be investigated and recorded.
As with the first volume the text is literate, free of typos and obviously edited to a professional standard (why can't all works in this field be so good in this area?). Let's look forward to volume three.

Format:Paperback
This is the second of a four part series of books on British UFO sightings, this one detailing the period 1960-1965. The authors have mined great depths to pull out newspaper cuttings and accounts from the swinging 60's, many of the accounts have been buried for years i.e. black triangles almost identical to those acounted in modurn times and anouther forgotten incident in rendlesham forrest/woodbridge in 1961. I cannot wait for the next instalment, if the authors are reading please let me know when it will be published so I can get in a pre-order! Bravo!
