Thousands of persons have seen them, including pilots, airport officials, policemen, and others trained to identify conventional aircraft. And scores of persons have even taken photographs of UFO's. Many of th ese sigh lings remain unexplained despite intensive investigation by military authorities and scientists. To better acquaint the public with the scope of flying saucer sightings over th e past two decades, the editors of LooK called upon the world-wide news gathering services of United Press International to collect authentic photographs of UFO's and detailed information from persons who have seen th em. This unique LOOK special, Flying Saucers, is the result. Special acknowledgments are made to Jack V. Fox of UP I, who prepared the text; Harold Blumenfeld of UPI Newspictures, who gathered the pictures; and Torn Mindell of the LooK Book Division, who designed the book.
