About the author
Donald E. Keyhoe (1897 – 1988) was an American Marine Corps naval aviator, writer of both fiction and nonfiction, and one of the most influential figures in early ufology. Keyhoe's literary career began with adventure stories and expanded into science fiction, yet it was his interest in aerial phenomena that cemented his standing in literature and popular culture. His seminal work, 'The Flying Saucers are Real' (1950), was among the first to assert the extraterrestrial hypothesis regarding Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). Keyhoe approached the subject with a reporter's rigor and a pilot's pragmatism, arguing for a systematic investigation of these mysterious sightings. As the director of the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP), he advocated for greater transparency from the US government regarding UFOs. With a style characterized by meticulous research and a straightforward presentation of evidence, Keyhoe's writings on the UFO phenomenon have had a lasting impact, shaping public perception and influencing both enthusiasts and skeptics in the field of ufology. His legacy includes not only 'The Flying Saucers are Real' but also subsequent books like 'Flying Saucers from Outer Space' (1953), which further explored his ideas and widened public discourse on the subject of UFOs and extraterrestrial life.
