This aggregates a multitude of alleged plane, ship, and troop encounters with UFOs, all gleaned from the internet or UFO books. Not one footnote references any military report — all classified, you understand, even ones from 100 years ago.
Apparently, Manfred von Richthofen, – yes, the Red Baron himself – shot down a flying saucer on March 13, 1917 in western Belgium and ‘two little bald-headed guys’ (p15) ran away from the crash site. He was flying a Halberstadt DII, not a triplane. I guess that makes his score 81. No word whether a white beagle was flying the saucer.
It goes downhill from there, including US Navy Task Force 68’s January 1947 battle with UFOs in Antarctica (p93+); US tank running over a shot-down saucer on June 15, 1968 at Bong Son, Vietnam (p185); and reclaiming wreckage of at least a dozen shot down saucers from all over the world, the latest one in Saudi Arabia on October 19, 2016 (p259).
Apparently, the US has collected enough wreckage to open up a Smithsonian museum. Odds say we humans are not alone among the trillion stars, but second- and third-hand regurgitation makes this another tinfoil hat book.
