UFOs and SF

This document, authored by Jacques Bergier, explores the intersection of UFO phenomena and science fiction. Bergier discusses the skepticism surrounding UFO reports, noting that some critics dismiss all such accounts as being influenced by science fiction literature. He presents a counter-argument, suggesting that skeptics might consider the possibility of external beings observing humanity through non-traditional means, such as telepathy or chemical manipulation, which could influence human thoughts and lead to the creation of science fiction stories. The document includes a translated account from a Portuguese immigrant in Brazil, Sr. Carvalho, who describes a sighting of a silent, disc-shaped object. Carvalho recounts that the object hovered, a window opened, and a 'person' appeared to be looking out before the object vanished. The document also serves as a promotional compilation for various UFO-related publications, including 'FSR Case Histories', the French journal 'Lumieres Dans La Nuit', and the Spanish journal 'Stendek', published by the Centro de Estudios Interplanetarios.
