"This is the first of a ground-breaking new series compiled by former Police Officer John Hanson and his partner Dawn Holloway, together with David Sankey, a veteran UFO researcher and artist. The multi-part series covers British UFO sightings from 1940 to the present day. This first volume deals with UFO reports from 1940-1959; nineteen tumultuous years during which Britain won a war, lost an empire, buried a king, crowned a queen, and saw a new breed of consumer prosperity rise from the ashes of post-war austerity. People who have followed the UFO subject in any depth will not be surpised to discover that the UFOs encountered during these two decades 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".

For the authors first publication I found it to be a quirky, well researched and interesting read. Certainly makes you think after reading all the documented sightings! Even if your uncertain on this subject or a tad sceptical - I would highly recommend this. 10 out of 10.

This book was a exhilarating from start to finish it has a no nonsense approach to separating the ufo non fiction from fiction,
It is informative and precise in detail. The authors approach to the subject matter comes across in a easy digest manner making it a excellent read. Looking forward to the next chapter fascinating.

John and Dawn have obviously put a lot of research into this project, many hours of hard work. This book captures the atmosphere of those times and is a book that any newcomer to the subject would do well to read. I particularly liked the illustrations by David Sankey which gives freshness to the reports, and the very comprehensive index. An absorbing book, difficult to put down. I look forward to the next volume with anticipation. Five stars without reservation.
