''I have always been a voracious reader of what I call invisible literatures - scientific journals, technical manuals, pharmaceutical company brochures, think-tank internal documents, PR company position papers - part of that universe of published material to which most literate people have scarcely any access but which provides the most potent compost for the imagination'' J.G.Ballard

''This is the way the world ends
Not with a whimper but a bang.''
''If we create higher temperature and density in a limited region of the solar interior, we may be able to produce self-supporting detonation thermonuclear reactions that spread to the full solar volume (...) This explosion would annihilate the Earth and the Solar System, as we know them today.''

''Unidentified- flying- object."
An internal report from Project Blue Book, the USAF program that dealt with the UFO ''problem''.
Special Report No. 14 was an statistical analysis of U.F.O. report cases gathered from 1947 to 1954, some 3,200. It represents the largest such study ever undertaken. Cases were divided into three categories-"knowns", "unknowns", and "insufficient information."
Blue Book was cancelled in 1968.
