NIGHT JOURNEYS in UFOLOGY

Cops and Saucers:

Law Enforcement and UFOs

1957 - 1981

41 Tracks

Total Running Time: 11:44:45

SYNOPSIS

Observers of UFOs are found in all walks of life and all professions. When it comes to UFO sightings it is not unusual to find that law enforcement personnel have had their fair share of encounters with unusual circumstances and UFOs are at the top of the list. This compilation of recordings deal with police officers who have had close encounters with unidentified flying objects. For many law officers it is an interesting diversion from the more mundane calls and make for interesting discussions with their fellow officers. Sometimes an encounter goes beyond seeing a strange object in the sky and literally has profound changes for life of the law officer who came face to face with unknown objects from the sky.
