Operation Trojan Horse: The Classic Breakthrough Study of UFOs
John Keel's groundbreaking 1970 investigation challenges conventional UFO theories with a revolutionary approach that forever changed ufology. This hardcover edition preserves the original text that first proposed UFOs are not simply extraterrestrial spacecraft, but manifestations of paranormal forces that have appeared throughout human history.
Why This Book Changed UFO Research
"The real UFO story must encompass all of the many manifestations being observed," writes John Keel. "It is a story of ghosts and phantoms and strange mental aberrations; of an invisible world that surrounds us and occasionally engulfs us; of prophets and prophecies, and gods and demons. It is a world of illusion and hallucination where the unreal seems very real, and where reality itself is distorted by strange forces which can seemingly manipulate space, time, and physical matter-forces that are almost entirely beyond our powers of comprehension."
When first published, this book dismantled the popular extraterrestrial hypothesis, arguing instead that UFO phenomena connect to supernatural and paranormal events documented across centuries. Keel was among the first researchers to recognize that UFO manifestations appear in different forms throughout history, and that understanding these deliberate deceptions is essential to solving the mystery.

- Forces that manipulate space, time, and physical matter
About John Keel
John A. Keel (March 25, 1930 - July 3, 2009) was an American journalist and influential UFOlogist best known as the author of The Mothman Prophecies. In the 1950s, he investigated snake charming cults, the Indian rope trick, and the legendary Yeti across Egypt, India, and the Himalayas, culminating in his first book, Jadoo. In the mid-1960s, he turned his investigative skills to UFOs and fortean phenomena, producing this knockout UFO book that remains essential reading for serious researchers.
This hardcover edition from Anomalist Books is the definitive version of the text that established Keel as a pioneering voice in alternative UFO research and paranormal investigation.
