UFO [large print] : the inside story of the US government's search for alien life here - and out there / Garrett M. Graff.
"A thrilling story of science, Nazi research, secret spy planes, and the space race, UFO traces the history of the U.S. government's hunt for 'unidentified aerial phenomena' here on Earth, as well as the group of forward-thinking scientists who launched the search for extraterrestrial intelligence far from Earth. Drawing on original archival research, declassified documents and interviews with intelligence and military officials, Graff's book traces our quest to understand one of the most popular questions of all time: whether or not aliens exist."-- Page [4] of cover
