When strange UFO sightings began occurring across the United States in 1947, few people took them seriously. But when pilot Kenneth Arnold spotted a group of nine disc-shaped objects flying in formation over Mount Rainier, the phenomenon gained national attention. The Coming of the Saucers explores the early days of the UFO craze and poses important questions about the nature of reality.
