The Perspicacious Percipient: How to Investigate UFOs and Other Insane Urges - Selected Writings of John A. Keel

New Saucerian Press is to pleased to present "The Perspicacious Percipient: How to Investigate UFOs and Other Insane Urges," a collection of magazine articles by John A. Keel, the man many consider to have been not only the premiere investigator of all things unusual and â€œFortean,â€ but who was also our own, twentieth-century â€œMark Twain.â€

Many of the articles in this anthology and its companion volumes, "Flying Saucer to the Center of Your Mind," "The Outer Limits of the Twilight Zone," "Searching For the String," "The Great Phonograph in the Sky," and "The Passionate Percipient: Illusions I Have Known And Loved" were revolutionary, and explored ideas popularized in Keelâ€™s classic books. Written in Keelâ€™s engaging trademark style, they are sure to delight fans with their fresh, unparalleled insights into the nature of reality.

In these pages, John Keel displays the keen observational skills and investigative tenacity that made him the enfant terrible of ufology for decades. In this no-holds-barred analysis â€“ much of it written decades ago â€“ Keel shreds many of the sacred-cow beliefs still held in ufological and â€œcryptozoologicalâ€ circles today, and presents theories so radical that they are only now becoming accepted: the â€œ4-Dâ€ or â€œinterdimensionalâ€ thesis; the â€œbreakaway civilizationâ€ theory; the possible role of â€œancient aliensâ€ in human history; the synthetic and/or hallucinatory nature of many â€œalien abductionâ€ and â€œMen in Blackâ€ encounters; the role of spy agencies in paranormal research; and the alarming connection between UFOs, animal mutilations, and attacks on unsuspecting humans.

"The Perspicacious Percipient" covers a wide variety of topics, such as the illusory nature of our physical senses, statistical problems in UFO research, and how to investigate phenomena such as flying saucers, creature sightings, Men in Black, physical trace evidence, poltergeists and other manifestions, radio anomalies, and phantom ships, planes, submarines, helicopters, and humans.

This special edition features Keel's never-before-published, six-part article, "New Perspectives," in which Keel deftly explains quantum physics and what it means to ufology and Forteana. Keel also revisits the Mothman situation, providing us with a rare summary of those events in the Afterword. Throughout these pages, Keel displays the delightful wit, affable charm, and impassioned intellectual capabilities that made him famous.
