Description: The Flying Saucers Are Real Donald E. Keyhoe The Flying Saucers Are Real by Donald Keyhoe was a breakthrough bestseller that was the first serious attempt to investigate encounters between the human race and “unidentified flying objects”, commonly called “flying saucers”. The book is relatively short, but pulls together evidence gathered from newpapers, magazines, personal interviews, and Air Force records. The central contention is that the Air Force had been actively investigating encounters and maintaining a policy of secrecy until 1949, when a policy of gradual and cautious public disclosure was adopted. He further argued that the earth had been visited by extraterrestrials for two hundred years and that the explosion of the atomic bomb had prompted a sharp increase in visits. He speculated that the Air Force may have even attained and deployed some aspect of alien technology. Keyhoe, who also wrote mysteries and spy novels, wrote the book in dramatic narrative style reminiscent of 1940’s film noir and 1950’s television dramas. The book was published in 1950. The paperback edition by Fawcett sold for $0.25 and was a huge hit, selling over 500,000 copies.

It will play on CD and DVD players that are designed with MP3 capability. The files contained in an MP3 CD can be imported and played on mobile devices such as the iPod, iPhone, iPad, Android tablets and smart phones and on PSP (Play Station Portable) and PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) devices.

The Recordings These recordings were made using the author’s original published work, which is in the public domain. The readings were recorded by members of Librivox.org, which has generously made the recordings available to the public domain. While Librivox condones the sale and distribution of these recordings, it is not associated with the management or operations of MP3 Audiobook Classics. The audio files have been lightly edited and have been engineered using professional audio tools for maximum sonic quality. We spend considerable time and effort to ensure the recordings are free of noise, equalized for maximum listener pleasure, and that tracks are leveled and normalized to provide a consistent listening experience.

The most economical service is generally USPS First Class for two-ounce shipments, which is the weight of a single CD in a paper sleeve or cardboard jacket. USPS Media Mail is the least expensive for four-ounce shipments, which is the weight of a single CD in a DVD case. Delivery Times - We ship within 2 business days after receipt of payment. Most items ship via USPS Media Mail or First Class. Lead time for Media Mail is 6-8 days and First Class is 1-4 days. The date of shipment is registered by eBay when the tracking information is entered. Tracking All our shipments are tracked. Tracking is done differently according to package format because of item size, weight, and cost. MP3 CDs with paper security sleeves and most MP3 CDs in jackets are shipped in a large envelope using tracking by LetterTrackPro. That service is part of the USPS Informed Visibility system. The tracking codes are accepted as valid by eBay. USPS provides updates as items are scanned throughout the delivery path, with the last scan occurring when the item is put out for delivery.

Returns of unopened items may be subject to a 10% restocking fee, which will be deducted from your credit or refund. We do not refund the original shipping and handling charges. Defective Merchandise - Because our products are data discs that may not play in CD audio players that are not compatible with MP3 data discs, we distinguish between discs that are not defective but will not play in a CD audio only player from discs that are truly defective and will not play in a MP3 compatible CD player or in a computer disc drive. Our listings have clear language that explains the unique nature of MP3 data discs. We ask that you attempt to play the discs on a computer CD or DVD ROM player to determine if the player or the disc is the problem. If you are unable to play the disc on a computer, we consider the disc to be defective.
