Historical Note

Jack D. Pickett was a UFO researcher and an expert on experimental aircraft. A native of Cooper, Wyoming, Pickett served in the U.S. Army Air Force during World War II and later became a publisher. Between the 1980s and 2000s, Pickett did extensive research on UFO sightings. He argued that alleged UFO's were actually experimental aircraft flown by the military. In the process of doing his research, he became an expert on experimental and unconventional military aircraft. Pickett was the author of the article "Flying Saucers-For Real", which was published in Search Magazine in 1982.
