This review is from: Flying Saucers (Mass Market Paperback)

A majority of these stories date from the 1950s, when the Flying Saucer Mystery was truly a "mystery," and no one was at all certain from whence these apparitions came. Asimov, besides being co-editor, contributed a story and a long introduction.
