Keith Chester’s ‘Strange Company’

UFO researcher and author Keith Chester is currently getting some nice publicity in various forms of media, for his book Strange Company: Military Encounters with UFOs in WWII (Amazon US and UK). A recent news article profiled Chester, discussing his own early UFO sighting and how he became interested in the topics covered by his book:

In 1999, he began visiting the National Archives once a week to study military records for information about UFO sightings during the war. Throughout almost four years of research, Chester found documents detailing sightings described as objects, lights, flares, strange lights or rockets.

“The sightings that were documented were considered phenomena,” he said. “The military thought that they knew what they were observing, but the objects didn’t match anything that was known by military intelligence.”

The sightings he found include a silver, cigar-shaped object that looked like an airship. He also found a preponderance of information about unexplained objects reported by members of the 415th Night Fighter Squadron, a former Army Air Forces fighter squadron that fought during World War II.

The article comes hot on the heels of Keith Chester’s appearance on the Binnall of America Audio podcast, which was so big it had to be split into two parts (Part 1 and Part 2). Well worth checking out – Foo Fighters, possible German UFO technology, and so on…enough weirdness to keep you quiet for a few days that’s for sure. And I should mention, it’s published by the good folk at Anomalist Books, so you just know it’s got to be good.
