title: The Golden Age of Flying Saucers: Classic UFO Sightings, Saucer Crashes and Extraterrestrial Contact Encounters
author:  Frank G. Wilkinson 
description: <i>The Golden Age of Flying Saucers</i> delivers the spine-tingling suspense and spookiness every ten year old craves, while masterfully capturing a certain nostalgic "gosh-wow" feeling about the 1950s that every parent with ties to that decade can't help but embrace like a warm, fuzzy blanket. Remember <i>The Day the Earth Stood Still?</i> or <i>Earth VS the Flying Saucers?</i> That's the feeling.
