UFOs Partied from Coast-to-Coast Back in 1952

The Register-Herald of Beckley, West Virginia, published a fine article about a book called Shoot Them Down by Frank Feschino. Interesting.

"Sci-fi buffs flocked to a fantasy film in 1984 bearing a title prediction that 2010 would be the year earthlings make contact with aliens. Actually, contact has come, and it was less than friendly, says one UFO researcher. Three decades earlier, in fact, back in 1952, just five years after the famed Roswell incident, the American military engaged a convoy of alien aircraft with orders to destroy them in a pitched air battle right off the Atlantic Coast, says Frank Feschino, author of 'The Flatwoods Monster,' a phenomenon that rocked a tiny West Virginia hamlet that year."
