by Charles Lear, author of “The Flying Saucer Investigators.”In
1966, John Keel, longtime fortean and author of several books on
UFOs, including his most famous book published in 1975, The Mothman

this time in his life, he was writing articles for the British
publication, Flying Saucer Review and sharing his research with Jim
and Coral Lorenzen of the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization.
He wrote an article (page 6 of pdf) about one case he looked into
