Forty years before Hiroshima a 25,000-ton

atomic-powered spacecraft was seen

maneuvering before it crashed in the Siberian

wild erne~ss. Throughout the 1950s U.S. Air

Force raclar picked up U FO s streaking across

the United States at thousands of miles an hour.

In 1977 President Jimmy Carter reported his

own UFO sighting. Celestial Passengers shows

us-with evidence from scientists and through

the firsthand experiences of policemen, pilots,

and other reliable witnesses-that there

are things in space which we don t understand

and can t explain. The stories denied by

governmental agencies, such as the disappearance

of a jet while tracking a UFO, an astronaut s

sighting of UFO s in space, the reports of a

dozen Air Force pilots on duty who had

witnessed lightning-quick UFO s mdneuvering

above their base-these stories are the cases

under investigation in Celestial Passengers, which

presents up-to-date reports on the Viking Mars

mission as well as other aspects of Earth s

plans for space travel and living.
