The Secret of the Saucers

The Secret of the Saucers is a book by Orfeo M. Angelucci, first published in 1955. This autobiographical account details Angelucci's extraordinary encounters with extraterrestrial beings during the height of America's early UFO fascination. Claiming direct contact with space visitors from a higher realm, Angelucci describes being taken aboard flying saucers, receiving messages about the spiritual evolution of humanity, and witnessing visions that blended cosmic revelation with mystical insight. Unlike other contactee narratives of the era, his story leans heavily into a spiritual and metaphysical interpretation of UFO phenomena, framing the encounters as part of a divine mission to awaken human consciousness. The book became a notable contribution to the early contactee movement, reflecting both Cold War anxieties and a yearning for cosmic connection.
