Charles Fort was born in Albany, New York, in 1874. He became a writer and reporter. Fort is probably the first known Ufologists in the world. Charles Fort studied old news reports for years. What Fort found out was that there was a pattern of strange aerial phenomena that had been reported for ages. The information Fort collected under his investigations can be found in his books The Book of the Damned (1919), New Lands (1923), Lo! (1931) and Wild Talents (1932). "Science is established preposterousness, Science of today - superstition of tomorrow. Science of tomorrow - superstition of today". This Charles Fort said and it represents what he stood up for. What worried Charles Fort most was that the subject of UFO phenomenons wasn't taken seriously by science. Charles Fort died in 1932. In 1973 the monthly magazine Fortean Times was founded to continue the work of Charles Fort.
