Book Description
This fresh look at Hollywood's "Queen of Screwball," Carole Lombard, presents a first-ever examination of the events that led to the shocking flight mishap that took her life on the side of a Nevada mountain in 1942. It also provides a day-by-day account of the struggles of Lombard's husband, Clark Gable, and other family, friends, and fans to cope with the tragedy. In effect, having just completed the first sale of war bonds and stamps in the nation following its entry into World War II, Lombard became the first Hollywood start to sacrifice her life in the War. The War Department offered Gable a funeral service with full military honors, but he refused it, knowing that his wife would not approve of such spectacle. Based on extensive research rather than gossip, this investigation further explores the lives of the 21 others on the plane, including 15 members of the U.S. Army Air Corps, and addresses one of the most enduring mysteries of World War II. On a clear night full of stars, with TWA's most experienced pilot at the controls of a 10-month-old aircraft under the power of two fully functioning engines, why did the flight crash into that Nevada mountainside? This gripping page-turner presents the story of the people on the plane, the friends and families left behind, and the heroic first responders who struggled up a mountain hoping to perform a miracle rescue. It is a story of accomplishment, bravery, sacrifice, and loss.

Book Description
On 30 June 1908 a mysterious fireball exploded in the Siberian sky and flattened 2,000 square kilometres of the remote Tunguska forest. As no crater and no material from outer space were ever found, a meteorite could not have caused the Tunguska explosion. So what did? This 'grand dame of science mysteries' soon turns 100 but continues to seduce scientists and charlatans alike, all hoping to explain what caused the explosion. The scientists' suspects include a comet, an asteroid, a mini black hole, a rock of antimatter, a mirror matter asteroid, and a methane gas blast from below. X-files-type explanations include an alien spacecraft, a laser beam fired by extraterrestrials in an attempt to communicate with the earthlings, and an early experiment in nuclear physics which got out of hand. Numerous websites, conspiracy theories and sensational TV documentaries on the Fireball abound. In a fast-moving and non-technical narrative The Tunguska Fireball discusses all theories and then analyses the evidence to point an accusing finger at a prime suspect.

Book Description
"This book guarantees a grand tour of the 'fireball' mystery and covers all aspects of science to help the reader understand the wide range of natural objects and unexplained phenomena that can be seen so often in our skies. It includes a discussion of comets, ball lightning, anti-matter explosions, disc-like clouds, strange sunsets, plasma balls and 'spooklights'. No scientific theory or hunch is left unexplored. The mystery sounds from irritating 'hums' heard in urban areas are also explored in detail here. Indeed, there is perhaps more mystery attached to these strange sounds echoing across the hills and from the oceans than there is to fireballs. Antony Milne doesn't shrink from listing the paranormal evidence of phantom planes and battlefield ghosts that local people have often reported, along with the mystery voices and radio messages that scientists and the military have recorded. This groundbreaking book also deals specifically with the huge defence files that have now been accumulated on UFOs around the world and tries to explain - using the latest in scientific theorizing about energy physics - what this weird phenomena actually is and why we should be worried about it."--Publisher's description.
