Throughout the 1960's a series of bizarre UFO sightings were recorded by a number of reputable sources from across the world. Ranging from members of the United States Air Force and British Royal Air Force sightings, advanced radar imaging, official government investigators and curious research scientists, the investigations into the UFO phenomenon would seem to reach its climax with the popularity of such developments watched closely by the excited public.

Additionally, some of the most international reports of UFO's would be made during this time, ranging from countries such as Tanzania, the United Kingdom, Romania and Vietnam.

In this book, you will find a collection of more then ten isolated incidents involving unidentified flying objects, impossible to explain craft and sightings of extraterrestrial creatures that occurred throughout the 1960's. Although there are far more incidents than an isolated twenty reports made throughout the 1960's, with an accurate estimate of more than 10,000 sightings of unidentified aerial craft, the events detailed here are considered to be among the most reputable and anomalous.

Unidentified Flying Objects (U.F.O.s) are often described as appearing similar to a large discus shape with a protruding expanded middle. These craft are often given the name "Flying Saucer" or "Flying Disk", however, such craft do not make up the entirety of all UFO physical descriptions. The term Unidentified Flying Object implies an aerial craft impossible to accurately identify as belonging to a human pilot or within the bounds of human technical expertise. Such designs for UFO's throughout history have ranged from disk-shaped, tic-tac-shaped, come-shaped, rocket-shaped, cigar-shaped, spherical-shaped, cube-shaped etc. and continue to grow as more reports are filed and recorded every year.

The primary claim surrounding UFO's believes that many of the craft are piloted by extraterrestrial or interdimensional intelligences, originating from a place other than the earth in both space or time. Although direct evidence for such a claim is difficult to gather, the tremendous flight capabilities of such craft, seemingly capable of traversing through atmosphere, underwater and in space, imply ease of travel across vast distances of intense vacuum and zero gravity.
