Early 20th Century UFOs: American Sightings (1900-1919)

Though the idea of UFOs piloted by extraterrestrials didn't truly begin to seep into the public consciousness until the late 1940s, people all across America reported seeing strange craft in the skies throughout the early 20th Century. As it is, UFOs have been lurking in the shadows of many historical events, which are only now coming to light. For instance, did you know that Nikola Tesla sincerely believed that he received messages from another world in the year 1900? Or that survivors in the waters of the North Atlantic saw strange lights and UFOs as the Titanic sunk? Stranger still, did you know that when the Spanish Flu pandemic was at its height in 1918 that Thomas Edison speculated that the virus came from outer space?

After reading this book, you'll ask yourself: Were strange luminous creatures observed in Van Meter, Iowa, in 1904 alien beings or just odd looking animals? Could a devilish apparition seen in a Kansas mine have been a trapped alien rather than a ghost as the miners of the time believed? Was a mysterious glowing cloud of light seen in Philadelphia in 1904 related to the Philadelphia Experiment of 1943? What was the purpose of an odd, fire-worshiping cult aboard an airship seen across the state of Tennessee in 1907? And finally, what was the strange "little green man" killed in Texas in 1914?
