New Lands is the second nonfiction book of the author Charles Fort. It deals primarily with astronomical anomalies. In the first part of the book, Fort criticises astronomy, listing predictions astronomers made that never came true. He also continues his attacks on scientific dogma, citing a number of mysterious stars and planets that scientists failed to account for. Fort expands in this book on his theory about the Super-Sargasso Sea – a place where earthly things supposedly materialize in order to rain down on Earth – as well as developing an idea that there are continents above the skies of Earth. As evidence, in the second part of the book, he cites a number of anomalous phenomena, including strange ‘mirages’ of land masses, groups of people, and animals in the skies.
