Flying Saucers Over the White House

Focusing on Captain Edward J. Ruppelt, the book explores his pivotal role in the 1950s UFO investigations as he led "Project Blue Book" and coined the term 'UFO.' Ruppelt's mission was to validate the existence of unidentified flying objects and their potential extraterrestrial connections. The narrative dissects various sightings, distinguishing genuine UFO encounters from ordinary explanations. Bennett critically examines Ruppelt's contributions to ufology and the government's handling of UFO phenomena, making it relevant for contemporary readers.
