As regular readers will know, our Fortean Words imprint recently published the first in a series called Haunted Skies:"This is the first of a ground-breaking new series compiled by former police officer John Hanson and his partner Dawn Holloway, together with David Sankey, a veteran UFO researcher and artist. The multi-part series covers British UFO sightings from 1940 to the present day. This first volume deals with UFO reports from 1940-1959; nineteen tumultuous years during which Britain won a war, lost an empire, buried a king, crowned a queen and saw a new breed of consumer prosperity rise from the ashes of post-war austerity. People who have followed the UFO subject in any depth will not be surpised to discover that the UFOs encountered during these two decades follow the socio-political changes of the people who witnessed them to a remarkable degree. Haunted Skies is the most ambitious series of books ever attempted in the history of ufology and will, no doubt, provide a new benchmark in the quality of such publications."
However, until now it has not been available in the USA. It was my fault for being stupid, but thanks to those jolly nice folk at LightningSource it has all been rectified, and it is now available Stateside....
