    Charles Fort

    Charles Fort (1874–1932) was an American researcher and writer known for his publications on anomalies, the paranormal, and the occult. An early proponent of the extraterrestrial hypothesis, he was one of the first journalists to write regularly and authoritatively about alien abduction, out-of-place artifacts, and UFOs. Over time, these unexplained events have been termed “Fortean” phenomena. The founding members of the Fortean Society include Theodore Dreiser, H. L. Mencken, and Booth Tarkington, among other literary luminaries.

      The classic work that prompted Ben Hecht to coin the term "Fortean". Charles Fort was a great collector of quirky newspaper stories about strange phenenomena. He was acutely aware of the human habit of consigning to oblivion strange stories with no ready explanation. But Fort was not one of those credulous UFO-geeks who sees cover-up and conspiracy in every failure to confirm his belief in extraterrestrials. Rather he was an open-minded man who sought honest inquiry in response to the facts, no matter how baffling.
