DoD on suppression allegations
On 21 July 1960, the US Department of Defense issued a news release entitled “ATIC UFO Investigation Capability” which comments on allegations of suppression of information and the cost of the Air Force’s UFO program (Department of Defence News Release Number 812-60).

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 Many links to material on UFO websites quickly become out of date.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

Image of relevant press release presented by Tacker, Lawrence (Lieutenant Colonel) in his “Flying Saucers and the U.S. Air Force” (1960) (available on Amazon USA and on Amazon UK) at pages 157-161 (particularly at page 161) of the D Van Nostrand hardback edition (in Appendix 11).

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.
