The Duke of Edinburgh was a subscriber to Flying Saucer Review and gave his former assistant Sir Peter Horsley “carte blanche” to collect stories about UFOs from the RAF. The Duke read a number of books on the topic, including Haunted Skies: The Encyclopedia of British UFO and The Halt Perspective, which tells the story of “Britain’s Roswell”.
