Bücher von Egon Kragel

In a rigorous, anecdote-filled book, the author draws on unpublished archives and press articles to analyze the actual contacts between humans and non-humans that took place from the 1950s to the present day.

Should we be afraid of UFOs? In June 2021, the head of NASA admits that "pilots of military aircraft have seen something, and their radars have locked onto it. But they don't know what it is. We just hope it's not an adversary here on Earth that has mastered this kind of technology." The fear? That the "unexplained phenomena" are the sign of an advance, terrestrial or extraterrestrial, accompanying an aggressive project that would be in its infancy. In April 2022, a Pentagon report counted 57 effects suffered by people in contact with a UFO: alien abductions, brain damage, paralysis, radiation burns and death.Egon Kragel, an outstanding storyteller, has investigated dozens of cases in which witnesses have not emerged unscathed from encounters with UFOs. In a rigorous book full of anecdotes, the author reveals unpublished archives, probes the credibility of testimonies and questions the official thesis that UFOs represent a danger to humanity.No reader will come away unscathed from this new paving stone thrown into the pond of official (in)certainties!

"What is true, and I'm actually being serious here, is that there is footage and records of objects in the skies that we don't know exactly what they are. We can't explain how they move, their trajectory. And so I think that people still take seriously, trying to investigate and figure out what that is." Barack Obama, May 17, 2021, the "Late Late Show with James Corden."Since 2017, UFOs are no longer considered fiction. Declared a "serious subject" by the Pentagon, they have now entered public debate on American, German and Japanese news channels.Passionate about ufology since his childhood, Egon Kragel is a great French specialist on the subject. He has dug up more than 150 UFO cases, some of which are fascinating and have captivated the international press, while others are more frightening and still raise questions.You'll read about:- The hairy cone of Vins-sur-Caramy- The wave of foo fighters from the Second World War- The Belgian wave- Kenneth Arnold, the father of saucers- The Flatwoods monster- Malmstrom: deactivated missiles- The encounter of Herb Schirmer- The UFOs of the Hudson Valley- UFOs: Abductions in the sky- Betty Cash and Vickie Landrum: A scathing remake of Apocalypse Now- Colares: Deadly encounters in the Amazon- UFOs and Pilots: A two-step in the sky
