The Flying Saucer Mystery

Bess, George and Nancy have gone on a camping trip, joined by Ned, Burt and Dave. They are going to investigate a place where UFO sightings have been fairly frequent. While there they meet an old naturalist, Old Joe, who lives in a cottage in the woods and has a wildcat as a friend.

He also remembers his father who had apparently left some sort of treasure in the woods for him, but he's never been able to find it, so this gives Nancy another mystery to solve; where is the treasure? Nancy and her friends also run into a Native American who also seems to live in the forest. He speaks no English but he's able to help them get out of a bad situation.

There's also a place called Dismal Swamp which smells horrible, sort of reminding me of the swamp in the movie Labyrinth.

They do encounter the UFO and are not exactly sure what happens, other than they seem to go elsewhere and become something else. The UFO itself has a mystery that doesn't really get as much attention as it should.

It's a rather different type of mystery for Nancy Drew, but it's a good one.
