NEW! UFO Drawings from the National Archives

Every season there are a few books that everyone loves. Everyone. So far in 2018, this is the one. Published by London-based Four Corners Books, UFO Drawings from the National Archives collects six decades worth of homespun UFO documentation from the recently released files of the British Ministry of Defence’s UFO Desk. (Swear.) Featured here is "The National Archives DEFE 24/2036," a photograph submitted by a British tourist on vacation in Sri Lanka on the afternoon of March 27, 2004, when this “unidentified atmospheric condition” was documented. Following a “partial aura in the sky” and a loud, thunderclap-like sound, “a ring like a doughnut” appeared in the sky. The observer noted “an air burst of some kind or other.”
