"I congratulate Frank Feschino for finding the story of our missing airmen in his many years of research into the UFO phenomena. 'Shoot Them Down' is an important historical record of the deaths of brave men who were ordered to engage UFOs."  

Major George Filer III, USAF Retired.
MUFON Eastern Region Director.
In 1962, USAF pilot Major Filer III, chased a tremendous-sized UFO over England.

"I have personally heard of seven instances in which military planes chasing flying saucers were never heard from again. The chasing isn't surprising, in view of the official USAF 1952 orders to shoot them down if they don't land when instructed to do so."

"If I have heard of seven such events, then surely there have been more. (More details are given in SHOOT THEM DOWN by Frank Feschino, Jr.).  One can perhaps understand the reluctance of the government to admit that such losses have occurred (even though Major General Roger Ramey admitted in 1952 that more than 300 interceptors have been scrambled)."

"Impotence in the face of intruders is not something that governments want to admit."

"Frank C. Feschino's recent book, Shoot Them Down: The Flying Saucer Air Wars Of 1952 —based largely on official documentation—  makes for disturbing reading." --Timothy Good, author of Above Top Secret: The Worldwide UFO Cover-up  &  Need to Know: UFOs, the Military and Intelligence

"...That's Absolutely True!" –  Edge Journalist Jim Marrs remarks to Stanton Friedman on Whitley Strieber's Dreamland reacting to Friedman's outline of Frank Feschino's premise in Shoot Them Down.

During the summer of 1952, Americans reported a record amount of UFO sightings to "Project Blue Book" which resulted in the highest amount of "Unknown" cases in Blue Book's 17-year history.    

 In "Shoot Them Down," Frank Feschino, Jr. focuses on the numerous aerial encounters and confrontations occurring between US. fighter planes and UFOs over America and throughout the world during the 1952 Indian summer.    

Feschino researched, investigated, and now reports on the overwhelming amount of suspicious fighter accidents and mysterious vanished planes leading to a shocking amount of pilot deaths during the early to mid 1950s. 

Additionally, he writes extensively about the key UFO cases from the 1952 summer including the July Washington Sightings and the most complete and detailed story in print of the horrific "Flatwoods Monster" incident of September 12, 1952.

The author unflinchingly documents an in-depth historical account of United States military aviation history that has been overlooked and long forgotten for more than 50-years.

Frank Feschino, Jr. has indeed provided for a segment of American military aviation history not making it into the books of official history .  

The book contains 90 photographs, illustrations and maps.

Frank and Scott

60 years plus and Ufology is still with us.  This can only be, I think, because Ufology's periods of suspicious stagnation are periodically stirred by altogether intrepid researchers genuinely bursting forth from the pabulum mainstream otherwise confining them.  They provide for us a look inside that Ufology we won't get otherwise!  I'm reminded of one Richard Dolan, similar to Feschino,  whose first book UFO's And The National Security State is, small argument, the first determining work of Ufology's history in an anticipated volume of three.  Out of nowhere!

Similarly bursting forth, Frank Feschino appears on the scene. Frank takes two largely forgotten chunks of UFO history and not only brings them to life once more, he opens a whole new vista of reality by connecting them in a hard to accept, if unsettlingly plausible, scenario.

These aforementioned "forgotten" chunks are, namely, incidents associated with the Flatwoods Monster case, an all but shelved ufological episode dismissed by most if not all of UFO Officialdom.   It includes little known histories of numerous American military pilots who were perhaps lost in aerial confrontations with UFO's, reader, after being scrambled to hunt those UFOs down.

...And not only to "hunt them down," reader!  Period witness Lt. Col. Moncel Monts is quoted in Feschino's book to say: "The jet pilots are, and have been under orders to investigate unidentified objects... and to shoot them down if they can't talk them down."

There is a vast amount of information in Feschino's tome.  It is not an easy read.  Though, this is meant in a positive way.  See, there is a lot to digest here and one must travel with attention through Feschino's book in order to assemble the picture that Frank is trying to construct in the reader’s mind.  It is an account of the highest strangeness. 

High Strangeness.  No easy feat for those of us who thought we already had that era of Ufology all bottled, bagged, and tagged.  Not so, the reader discovers, as Frank lays out documented case after case of pilot disappearances resulting from actual aerial dogfights associated with documented sightings of UFOs. Then, as if that isn’t enough, he factually weaves the "Flatwoods Monster" into the picture —most likely a UFO, itself, disabled due to a jet’s missile strike from an American F-94C Starfire— convincingly tying the above together into a competent and coherent whole that will stiffen the reader's short hairs!

There are documented facts aplenty in this book in support.  Too, it is also, reader, a book of some small speculation.  Though, it is not ungrounded speculation!  Readers need to unscrew their minds from what they thought they knew, only, rather than reject this conjectured scenario completely out of hand. 

Frank has done his homework. Real "Flatwoods Monsters," documented aerial dogfights between American fighter jets and UFO’s, vetted government documents, flight logs, evidence indicating disappearing planes and pilots, government stonewalling, flat-out government lies: these are the reality in black and white.

Signing off, in Shoot Them Down, Frank Feschino deftly completes a picture and story difficult to deny. I commend him for the gallant perseverance of his attention to detail forgetting his integrity rising to the brave challenge of re-writing a chapter long thought closed in American history.  Definitely another seminal work in the field of Ufology.

The overwhelming number of accidents and disappearances of our fighter pilots and jets in the 1950s over America and the world, is beyond comprehension.

Being a fighter jet mechanic in the 1950s, we never sent our guys up in unsafe planes... NEVER! We would not put the lives of our pilots at risk...NEVER!

The explanations as to why so many of our jets were crashing during that era are ridiculous. For instance, several jets crashing at once because they all "Ran out of gas," does not happen! This excuse was repeatedly used and a very common one. There were several other poor excuses...one right after another.

The fighter pilots and war veteran pilots that crashed or vanished into thin air over this country during the UFO "Shoot Down" era is shocking.  This book, "Shoot Them Down!" is a must read for any American veteran brother interested in military aviation history. I applaud and thank Feschino for his years of hard work.

A  LETTER from OZ...

Dear Frank,

   Please let me compliment you on a fine piece of detective work that you have presented in your book, SHOOT THEM DOWN!  It's no wonder that Stanton Friedman has endorsed your book!

   Not only have you kept my interest up whilst reading this book you have added some pieces to that big jigsaw puzzle which has bothered me ever since I was a kid who happened to watch a TV program about the 1952 Saucer flap over Washington...

   I wish to also add my support for your book as it is blatantly obvious to any serious researcher that a cover up has been in place since at least the late forties. Now your book has allowed me to put together some more pieces to that jigsaw puzzle.

Thank you for a very fulfilling book.

SHOOT THEM DOWN!

Late in his career, General Douglas MacArthur stated that the next American war would be waged against aliens from another world. A slip of the tongue?

Author Frank C. Feschino, Jr. reveals ample evidence that MacArthur's hostile attitude pervaded the American military and created a theater of engagement in the skies over the United States in 1952.

From the cities and farms of West Virginia to Florida's Gulf Coast, and Project Blue Book's Unexplained case # 2086 in Santa Barbara, CA, to Unexplained case # 2099 in Portland, ME, Feschino skillfully uses eyewitness accounts, contemporary documentation and testimonials of experienced military observers to finally put and end to our government's cover-up nonsense.

  "SHOOT THEM DOWN," is more than just another conspiracy book about a massive UFO cover up by the United States government, It is a history
lesson by a dedicated author. Feschino spent years researching archives and compiled a chronological record  of events between American fighter planes and UFOs in the 1950s.

    He thoroughly researched records, interviewed eyewitnesses and presents the reader with the true story of the UFO activity during the summer of 1952. Edward Ruppelt's book was only the tip of the iceberg, this book tells the rest.

    I would classify this author as an investigative reporter who lays out the facts for the reader. This book is a must read...finally the truth.

OF LOCAL CONNECTICUT INTEREST

Feschino's book features an in-depth investigation into the mysterious
incident involving an F-86 Sabre Jet fighter plane that crashed in South
Glastonbury, CT On August 5, 1952, amidst a UFO flap, a Westover AFB jet fell into
that town setting it ablaze and wreaking havoc.

 In the Chapter "Westover and Washington," of his book Feschino chronicles the very
controversial events of this crash from newly released  USAF documents
and reveals the results of his research and onsite investigations.

YES!

Fighter Pilots Ordered To “Shoot Down” UFOs!

...During a UFO frenzy along the East coast, an F-86 Fighter JET crashed and burned under mysterious circumstances in South Glastonbury CT.   The chronological detail of military events in Feschino's book will turn a corner with any disbeliever.  Part of this landmark book will be featured on an ABC mini series next season.
