Fortean Times 265: Weapons of Mass Deception

Issue 265 of Fortean Times magazine features a cover article adapted from Mirage Men. ‘Weapons of Mass Deception’ looks at the events leading to and surrounding the great Washington DC UFO flap of July 1952, a turning point in America’s UFO history. Drawing on political and cultural history, declassified government documents, emerging military technologies and the writings of Leon Davidson and Edward J Ruppelt, the piece asks whether the epoch-making sightings were deliberately engineered and, if so, why, and by who? FT 265 is available in the UK on 22 July. You can also win copies of the book over at Fortean Times.com
