Belive it or not, Charles Fort was the first ufologist, wrote the first UFO book: 'The Book of theDamned,' published in 1919. Born in Albany, New York, Fort was working as a newspaper reporterbefore age 20. Determined to become a writer, he traveled the world searching for experiences to writeabout. In South Africa Fort contracted a fever that followed him back to the United States. He marriedhis nurse, Anna Filing, and embarked on a career as a freelance writer. Fort spent hours on end in thelibrary pursuing his interests in nature and behavior. While paging through old newspapers andscientific journals, he began to notice, among other repeatedly chronicled oddities of the physicalworld, reports of strange aerial phenomena. Despite the fact that these strange sky objects werereported with increasing frequency, the press and the scientific community treated each sighting as aone-time occurrence. There was no sense that such events, far from being isolated, were part of a largerphenomenon. Even the airship wave of 1896 and 1897 quickly passed out of the public’s memory. Butan eccentric American writer, Charles Fort (1874-1932), finally put it all together, becoming the world’sfirst ufologist. Taking voluminous notes, he eventually turned out four books. The first three --TheBook of the Damned (1919), New Lands (1923), and Lo! (1931) -- dealt in part with UFO reports.The Fortean Society was started in the United States in 1931 during a meeting held in the New Yorkflat of American writer Charles Hoy Fort, in order to promote his ideas. The Fortean Society wasprimarily based in New York City, and was the forerunner of organizations studing unidentified flyingobjects and other paranormal phenomena. Its first president was Theodore Dreiser, an old friend ofCharles Fort, who had helped to get his work published. Founding members of the Fortean Societyincluded Tiffany Thayer, Booth Tarkington, and many of New York’s literati such as DorothyParker.The first issue of the Fortean Society Magazine appeared in September 1937. With the eleventhissue (Winter 1944-45), the title was changed to Doubt.The Fortean Society Magazine (Doubt) waspublished regularly until Thayer’s death in Nantucket, Massachusetts in 1959, when the society went onhiatus and the magazine came to an end. In the Fortean Calendar, the year the Society was founded(1931) is equivalent to 1 FS. Please copy and paste the link for our books:https://saucerianbooks.blogspot.com/
