Thirteen True Stories. Thirteen Impossible Encounters. One Haunting Question: What If They're Real?
From the nuclear missile silos of Montana to the dark forests of England, from the skies over Washington D.C. to a small Kentucky farmhouse under siege-these are the encounters that changed everything.
AND THEN I LOOKED UP presents thirteen gripping fictional narratives inspired by the most documented and credible UFO cases in history. Each story is meticulously crafted from real witness testimonies, official military reports, and declassified government documents spanning fifty years of unexplained phenomena.
Experience the terror of:
- Military officers watching their nuclear weapons mysteriously shut down during UFO encounters
- Navy pilots chasing objects that defy the laws of physics
- Families trapped in their homes by beings that shouldn't exist
- Radar operators tracking impossible craft over the nation's capital
These aren't fantasy tales-they're dramatic retellings of events that actually happened to real people. Military personnel who risked their careers to report the truth. Families who suffered radiation exposure from unknown craft. Children who received messages from visitors between worlds.
Based on legendary cases including:
- The Malmstrom Nuclear Incident (1967)
- The USS Nimitz Tic-Tac Encounter (2004)
- The Phoenix Lights Mass Sighting (1997)
- The Belgian UFO Wave (1989-1990)
- And nine other extraordinary documented encounters
Author J. Flint Wilder transforms decades of witness testimony and official investigations into edge-of-your-seat narratives that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about our place in the universe.
The truth may be stranger than fiction. These stories bridge the gap between both.
Perfect for fans of The X-Files, Close Encounters, and anyone fascinated by the greatest mystery of our time.
