"When Saucers Came to Earth" is the very first book in the English language entirely devoted to the story of UFO sightings that have occurred in Italy. Sightings of a special kind. The landings of "flying saucers" in the 1940s and '50s. These were extraordinary encounters involving ordinary people, in a world that has ceased to exist. Begin a fascinating journey back to distant 1912, when an Italian farmer met up with a ghostly light on a foggy night in the northern Italian flatlands; and travel to the early morning of New Year's Eve 1954, when an odd-looking flying saucer with two "pilots" observed an old bell-ringer. Over 100 amazing saucer landings are described in detail, all featuring sources and critiquing comments aimed at a better understanding of the follow-ups to - and the possible explanations for - every incident. Hundreds of maps, sketches, pieces of artwork, and newsclippings make this book a visual tour of the early years of the "flying saucer" phenomenon and myth.

This review is from: When Saucers came to Earth: The Story of the Italian UFO Landings in the Golden Era of the Flying Saucers (Paperback)
This is an interesting book of various UFO accounts from the 1950s that happened in Italy. This era was a busy one in terms of both the number of cases and the bizarre and elaborate nature of many of the UFO incidents. Most of the reports are brief, but a few key cases are expanded upon and given more coverage. There are numerous illustrations plus newspaper articles from the time that the sightings occurred, and also black and white photographs throughout and it makes for compelling reading for the UFO aficionado.
