"Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Skies"
was first published as "Ein moderner Mythus: Von Dingen,
die am Himmel gesehen werden" (Zurich and Stuttgart, 1958).
This material was republished in Vol. 10 (Part V) of Jung's
Collected Works ("Civilization in Transition").
The three items in this edition that are included in the
section "On Flying Saucers" were extracted from Vol. 18
(Part XI) of Jung's Collected Works ("The Symbolic Life").
These three items were not included in earlier editions
of "Flying Saucers" (©1959). However, those editions,
which are also among the Library's holdings, do include
an index (compiled by A.S.B. Glover).
