Ever since the first flying saucers were spotted over Mount Rainier in 1947, they have captivated the world and caused much speculation. Interplanetary craft? Weather balloons? Advanced military aircraft? Swamp gas? Whatever, we have been puzzling for over 50 years with no end in sight. UFOs: 50 Years of Denial? makes the case for world governments' collusion to hide evidence of extraterrestrials from the public for reasons of security. Ufology bigwigs such as Bob Dean and Phil Corso discuss what they learned in their roles in NATO and the National Security Council, respectively; astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell tells of his discussions with government officials who want to come clean; and many saucer-spotters tell their bizarre stories. Some very strange photographic evidence and footage taken near the fabled Area 51 in Nevada are suggestive, but of course inconclusive. And who was that mysterious cigarette-smoking man lurking in the background? --Rob Lightner
