Who Was Daniel Fry?
Daniel W. Fry (1908–1992) was one of the best-known UFO contactees of the 1950s. He is most closely associated with The White Sands Incident, first published in 1954, and with the organization he later founded, Understanding.
Over the course of his life, Fry worked in a variety of technical and business roles, including work connected with White Sands. After his reported contact experience, he became a prolific writer and speaker, publishing numerous books, giving lectures, and building a large following through his newsletters and public appearances.
Today, Fry remains an important figure in the history of the contactee movement, alongside names such as George Adamski, Howard Menger, Buck Nelson, and George Van Tassel. This website preserves and organizes books, newsletters, recordings, photographs, and related documents for readers and researchers interested in his life and legacy.
Reviews:
“The most astonishing thing I recently saw on the glorious Web was the opening of a site devoted to the writings of the late contactee Dan Fry. And by devoted, I mean that somebody actually transcribed all, over 240, of the issues of his ‘Understanding’ newsletter into the digital domain. I can scarcely imagine a more mind-numbing enterprise, having browsed through a handful of them. It puts into focus why Believers will always be with us.” – Martin Kottmeyer, Saucer Smear, August 15th, 2005.
