Gunnery officers claimed hundreds of direct hits, but no aircraft, balloons, blimps, or other things authorized to be in the air at the time were found in a tangled wreck on the ground. The next day, Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox stated "as far as I know the whole raid was a false alarm and could be attributed to jittery nerves." This of course did not explain the thousands of sightings and whatever it was that trained soldiers had seen.
"A stunning survey of the latest evidence for intelligent life on Mars. Mac Tonnies brings a thoughtful, balanced and highly accessible approach to one of the most fascinating enigmas of our time."
--Herbie Brennan, author of Martian Genesis and The Atlantis Enigma
"Tonnies drops all predetermined opinions about Mars, and asks us to do the same."
--Greg Bishop, author of Project Beta
"I highly recommend the book for anyone interested in the search for extra-terrestrial artifacts, and the political intrigues that invariably accompany it."
--David Jinks, author of The Monkey and the Tetrahredron
"Mac Tonnies goes where NASA fears to tread and he goes first class."
--Peter Gersten, former Director of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy

Another great article by Monsieur Bishop.
Is there a book of substantial scholarship and research on this episode?

I'd like to think so.
I always suspect stories like this of being, at least in part, the stuff of urban legend. So where is the photograph of the supposed "saucer-shaped object"? Didn't see that anywhere. You would think with the military on full alert, somebody would have been taking pictures in an official capacity. In my own experience, I've also noticed that searchlights refracted off of low clouds can produce very interesting UFO-like effects. Clouds are notorioulsy difficult to shoot down. And please don't give me that "trained military observers" bullshit. Keep in mind that these are the same "trained military observers" who brought you Pearl Harbor....

Something is seen in the conflux of spotlights--question is just what was it?
