Serpents of Fire
Summary
New Saucerian Press is proud to present Serpents of Fire: German Secret Weapons, UFOs, and the Hitler/Hollow Earth Connection - one of the last books ever written by legendary ufologist and writer Gray Barker. Due to the subject matter, very few copies were printed. The book became impossible to find and fetched astronomical prices - until now. Operating out of a secluded office deep in the hills of his home state of West Virginia, the prolific Barker single-handedly kept public interest focused on UFOs during it leanest years, and introduced many themes still discussed and investigated by today’s paranormal and conspiracy researchers: the “interdimensional” theory of UFOs; the shapeshifting nature of creature entities such as Mothman, the Flatwoods Monster, and Bigfoot; the cryptic terror of the Men in Black; the mystery of the Philadelphia Experiment; and the possible role of "ancient aliens" in our collective history. In Serpents of Fire, Barker and his co-author, the pioneering Hollow Earth researcher, Ruth Anne Leedy, take on another classic theme: Nazi UFOs. In these pages, Barker and Leedy reveal the Nazis’ secret belief in the Hollow Earth, and their interest in - and possible collusion with - the pilots and occupants of flying saucers. As the tale unfolds, a most disturbing scenario is unearthed. Do a significant number of Europeans really believe Hitler escaped in a UFO, and that the Fourth Reich will one day return - in the midst of a catastrophic Earth-axis shift - to control the world from flying saucers? The answer may shake you.

When Men in Black Attack: The Strange Case of Albert K. Bender
Summary
In the year 1984, many Americans began to fear that the "surveillance state" predicted by George Orwell might be coming to pass. As a result, legendary writer and ufologist Gray Barker decided to revisit - and hopefully encapsulate - the strange case of Albert K. Bender, who was famously "hushed up" by three Men in Black in 1953 - despite heading up the largest and most successful civilian UFO organization in the world. Barker had discovered that the three MIB were under the employ of a race of "bisexual" space people from the planet "Kazik," who were harvesting Earth's seawater from an underground base near the South Pole. These alien humanoids had gained control of Bender and spirited him off to Kazik, where he was forced to submit to three sexy, shapeshifting space "women". Drawing from articles in Saucer News and his three previous books on Bender and the Men in Black (They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers, Bender Mystery Confirmed, and Men in Black: The Secret Terror Among Us), Barker weaves a fantastic, unique, and memorable tale - one that came to influence several generations of saucer buffs and sci-fi enthusiasts, and inspired themes in popular television shows such as The Jetsons, X-Files, and Futurama. This special 2015 edition of When Men in Black Attack: The Strange Case of Albert K. Bender, features an introduction from Jim Moseley, correspondence from Saucerian readers, previously unpublished transcripts of rare audiotapes (such as Bender's one and only public lecture), and fascinating contributions from a variety of Barker cohorts, including author William S. Burroughs.

They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers
Summary
New Saucerian proudly presents perhaps the most famous flying saucer book ever: Gray Barker's They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers! From flying saucers to the underground denizens of Lemuria, it's all here in this ufological classic. This 2014 reprint features the wonderful cover art from the dust jacket to the original hardback, first published in 1956. This edition faithfully reproduces the original, both inside and out, and is a great addition to any saucer collection. Just who are these darkly dressed men who go after UFO witnesses - those who might "know too much"? Why do they frighten, interrogate, and physically harm innocent civilians? Barker's answers shocked the world and raised awareness about the threat of the MIB. If you enjoyed Barker's Men in Black: The Secret Terror Among Us, you will enjoy this finely crafted star in the pulp pantheon.

Men in Black
Summary
Men in Black: The Secret Terror Among Us was the last major work by West Virginia author Gray Barker, a legendary figure in the history of ufology. In many respects, this is the sequel to his earlier best sellers They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers (a chronicle of the harassment faced by early UFO researchers) and The Silver Bridge (Barker's on-the-scene investigation of the Mothman events of the 1960s). Since Barker died a year after the release of MIB: Secret Terror, it was not widely distributed. As such, it became enormously rare and expensive. Now, for the first time, it is being made available to the general public.

Saucers of Fire
Summary
New Saucerian Press proudly presents Saucers of Fire: Nazi UFOs, the Hollow Earth, the Axis Shift, and Other Apocalyptic Assertions - one of the last books by the iconic ufologist, publisher, and best-selling author, Gray Barker, whose writing influenced the plotlines of shows like "Star Trek", "Futurama", "The X-Files", "Twin Peaks", "The Outer Limits", and "The Twilight Zone". Shuttling between his Manhattan publishing office and his secluded cabin deep in the hills of his home state of West Virginia, the prolific Barker single-handedly kept public interest focused on UFOs during it leanest years and introduced many themes still discussed and investigated by today’s paranormal and conspiracy researchers: the Roswell UFO crash, "Men in Black", ancient aliens, Nazi UFOs, the Philadelphia Experiment, the Flatwoods Monster, Mothman, MJ-12, secret underground bases, little green men, and the Maury Island incident. Saucers of Fire and its sister books, Serpents of Fire, Saucers of Fear, Time-Traveling Through Swamp Gas, Bigfoot Shootout, The Ghost of the Philadelphia Experiments Return, and When Men in Black Attack: The Strange Case of Albert K. Bender, were assembled by Barker shortly before his death, using material culled from deteriorating copies of his notoriously speculative newsletters and gossipy syndicated column - for years the most widely read national column on UFOs, Forteana, and “weird science”. This unique edition of Saucers of Fear features a special introduction by Barker, as well as reports from his field investigators, who - in true newsletter style - shed urgent, much-needed light on riddles such as: UFO abductions, missing time, manmade saucers, “alien” babies, the inner Earth, Hitler, and more.

The Silver Bridge
Summary
Written in 1970 by West Virginia ufologist Gray Barker, The Silver Bridge was the first book ever written on the mysterious Mothman creature, and still one of the best. Barker was the first researcher on the scene of both the Flatwoods Monster and Mothman cases. Known for his eloquent writing style, Barker became nationally famous for his seminal book They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers, which set the standard for reportage of the infamous Men In Black. In The Silver Bridge, Barker explores the murky psychological depths of life in West Virginia during the Mothman era of the late 1960s. This book was originally printed in small quantities and hence became very rare, fetching enormous prices. Now, for the first time, it is being made widely available to the general public. Inside, one finds many intriguing details about Mothman that previously escaped attention. This 2012 edition features new introductions by noted paranormal researchers Allen Greenfield, James Moseley, and Andy Colvin.

Gray Barker's Bigfoot Shootout!
Summary
New Saucerian proudly presents Gray Barker's underground classic, Bigfoot Shootout! Terrifying Tales of Interspecies Conflict This 1983 book, which was way ahead of its time (30 years before shows like Shooting Bigfoot), features Barker's musings on the unusual intersection of Bigfoot, UFOs, and firearms as well as special reports submitted to him at his Saucerian headquarters in Riffle, West Virginia. This smorgasbord of high strangeness delves into alarming matters such as Bigfoot surveillance of livestock and humans, the kidnapping of prospectors and hikers by Sasquatch, and the mystifying aerial lights that seem to provide cover for these dastardly deeds. Does Bigfoot occasionally kidnap, terrorize, hypnotize, and attack human beings? Can he shapeshift or disappear before your very eyes? If you shoot him point-blank with a machine gun, will he just laugh at you? Are the Apemen stockpiling weapons stolen from unwitting civilians, hoping to turn the tables at some future date? These questions and more are answered in this special 2015 reprint, which features intriguing contributions from researchers like Jim Moseley, Dennis Pilichis, Fred Beck, Janet and Colin Bord, Brent Raynes, Stan Gordon, Roger Patterson, Justin Smeja, Jeffery Pritchett, Dr. Ogden Pearl, and William S. Burroughs.

The Strange Case of Dr. M.K. Jessup
Summary
New Saucerian is honored to present Gray Barker's The Strange Case of Dr. M.K. Jessup, the very first book ever published about the suspicious death of early UFO researcher M.K. Jessup, and his possible relationship to the Philadelphia Experiment. Jessup's own book, The Case For the UFO, perhaps the first to argue that UFOs were an ongoing terrestrial phenomena, had become a blockbuster, and was reprinted by the Varo Corporation, under the auspices of the U.S. Navy. The Varo Edition contained unusual annotations by a strange man, Carlos Allende, who claimed to have witnessed the Philadelphia Experiment, and to have been tutored by Albert Einstein. Allende openly suspected Jessup of involvement in the experiment, leading to interesting interchanges, moves, and countermoves. In these pages, Barker analyzes such correspondences, and deftly navigates the sticky terrain of Jessup's mysterious rise and fall, while raising doubts about the official story. Did Jessup really kill himself, or was it "self-murder"? Or, did Jessup kill his attacker and steal his identity? And was that attacker the real Carlos Allende? This special 2014 edition features a fascinating introduction by the late, eminent ufologist Eugenia Macer-Story as well as the original introductions to the 1963, 1967, and 1973 editions. Also included are new and intriguing contributions from researchers George Knapp, David Paulides, David J. Halperin, Jeffery Pritichett, Anthony Bragalia, Robert Goerman, Anna Genzlinger, and John A. Keel.
