The Henry Martyn Noel Papers

After Henry Martyn Noel studied philosophy at Harvard University in the 1940s, he became disenchanted with American life and defected to East Germany. He eventually returned to the United States and lived in a cabin in the Tennessee woods, where he handwrote dozens of works such as this “UFO Encyclopedia,” which is essentially a bibliography of works that mention UFOs. The book is open to a page on which Noel lists two books by Adina’s hero, Carl Sagan.
