1951.1226 Battelle conference

On 26 December 1951, Colonel S H Kirkland, of Colonel Dunn's staff, and Captain Edward Ruppelt left Dayton for a two-day conference to outline to Battelle Memorial Institute (referred to by Captain Ruppelt as “Project Bear”) the proposed project to (a) design a UFO reporting form and (b) perform a statistical study of all UFO reports.

Web Resources

There is a rapid turnover of UFO material on the Internet. Many links to material on UFO websites quickly become out of date. Therefore, instead of giving many links to specific webpages I have instead focused on providing tables of references to discussion of UFO incidents, personalities and other matters in various books. Those tables of references to discussion in books can be sorted by author, length and date. I hope these tools are useful.

 

Book References

The table below includes references to relevant discussions in UFO/SETI books noted by Isaac Koi during a review of approximately 963 UFO/SETI books during the period 2003-2006 (with a few later additions). The table can be sorted by author, date and length of discussion by clicking on the relevant word in the top line of the table.

Many of the tables of references on this website are considerably longer than the references to books found on most other UFO websites. Indeed, some are probably the longest that have been collated in relation to some events and personalities. I hope that these tables are found to be a useful contribution to UFOlogy.

For discussion see the following:
