Return to Magonia by Chris Aubeck

THE HIDEN HISTORY OF UFOs

People have always been fascinated by lights in the sky. Early astronomers and astrologers, medieval pamphleteers, scientists, navigators, and weather observers, all recorded sightings of strange phenomena. The question is: Were these the same as our modern UFOs?

The authors of Return to Magonia have taken a serious, critical look at some of those sightings. Using modern resources and tools, they dissect more than 20 fascinating cases from the last 500 years, showing that reality can be more interesting than any popular catch-all theory. They discover that UFOs in history are as intriguing, as entertaining, and often as baffling as they are today.

In this unique and challenging book you will read about:
- the flat plate seen over a 17th-century Swedish city, leaving witnesses stricken with an unknown sickness;
- a fiery object that landed beside a road in Ohio, piloted by a mysterious man in black;
- a weird blue ball of fire that devastated a British navy ship;
- the Minnesota doctor who saw a disk of electric light floating across the fields;
- and a formation of locomotive-sized eggs that descended on an Australian town shortly after World War I.

Combining science, history, and a broad knowledge of the UFO field, Martin Shough and Chris Aubeck set a new standard for UFO research and shed light on one of the oldest recorded mysteries in human experience.

CHRIS AUBECK is the founder of the historical research group Magonia Exchange, an international archival project, and the co-author (with Jacques Vallee) of Wonders in the Sky.
