This thrilling story of science, the Cold War, Nazi research, atomic anxieties, secret spy planes and the space race draws on original archival research, declassified documents and interviews to present a narrative history of humanity's hunt for alien life, including the military and CIA's secret, decades-long quest to study UFOs.

Are we alone in the universe? From the post-war Project Blue Book to the Pentagon's modern-day Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, Graff presents the first serious narrative history of humanity's hunt for alien life-- including the military and CIA's secret, decades-long quest to study UFOs. He traces the real-life history of the U.S. government's hunt for "unidentified aerial phenomena" here on Earth, as well as the story of the small group of forward-thinking scientists who launched the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) far from Earth. Drawing on original archival research, declassified documents, and interviews with senior intelligence and military officials, Graff's book traces the long history of our quest to understand one of the most profound and popular questions of all time: whether or not aliens exist. -- adapted from jacket
