Kept on file at Georgetown University, it has been compiled into the forthcoming book "Flying Saucers Are Real," featuring an introduction by Science Fiction immortal William Gibson.
Tonight, Womack will show copious samples of the spectacular array and discuss related matters, including the remarkable contribution of Amazing Stories editor Raymond Palmer (and his star writer Richard Shavers) with Jacobson.
