John G. Fuller

John G. Fuller

John Grant Fuller, Jr. (1913 - 1990) was a New England-based American author of several non-fiction books and newspaper articles, mainly focusing on the theme of extra-terrestrials and the supernatural. For many years he was a regular columnist for the "Saturday Review" magazine. His three most famous books were "The Ghost of Flight 401", "Incident at Exeter", and "The Interrupted Journey". "The Ghost of Flight 401" was based on the tragic Eastern Air Lines airplane crash in December 1972, and the alleged supernatural events which followed; it was eventually turned into a popular 1978 made-for-television movie. "Incident at Exeter" concerned a series of well-publicized UFO sightings in and around the town of Exeter, New Hampshire in the fall of 1965. Fuller personally investigated the sightings and interviewed many of the eyewitnesses, he also claimed to have seen a UFO himself during his investigation. "The Interrupted Journey" tells the story of the Betty and Barney Hill abduction. The Hills were a married couple who claimed to have been abducted in 1960 by a UFO in the White Mountains of New Hampshire while on vacation. The book was the first to seriously claim that competent, reliable witnesses were being abducted by UFOs for medical and scientific experiments. The book remains one of the most influential in UFO history; and has been hotly debated since its publication. Like "The Ghost of Flight 401", "The Interrupted Journey" was also turned into a made-for-television movie in 1975.

He wrote "The Pink Elephant", which opened in 1953, and "Love Me Little", which opened in 1958, both on Broadway.

Fuller died of lung cancer in 1990.
