Among its contents:

- Nearly 300 documented military encounters with UFOs.
- Activities of over 50 Air Force, Navy, and Army bases relating to UFOs.

- Description of the fight, and failure, to end UFO secrecy.
- Thoughts on what it all means.

About this title

From the Publisher:

This book is a unique acheivement in the field of UFO scholarship. Based on research of hundreds of official and fully documented sources, Richard Dolan has presented an astonishing level of detail, sophistication, and clarity to a topic all-too-frequently dismissed as an adjunct of pop culture.

From the Author:

When I set out to write this book, I had no idea that it would be over 500 pages, but am pleased with how it has turned out. While undertaking my project, it became clear to me just how necessary this book is. Unlikely though it may seem, you cannot find any other book that provides the crucial foundation everyone needs: a clear, comprehensive, but concise historical narrative of the problem. This is exactly what I have tried to do. In addition, I have worked hard to make this book a good read. I expended much time and effort into gaining my reader's interest, and am pleased to announce that my early readers all seem to agree that my book is a page-turner. This is important to me: I want this book to be as easy to use as possible.

I have been encouraged by the extremely positive response from my readers, starting from well before the book's publication. I fully expected this book to generate good feedback. What I did not expect was the intensity of this response. The information in the book, combined with its manner of presentation, seems to have struck a resonant chord with many readers in a way that has exceeded my best expectations.

I am currently working on this study's second volume, which will take the story through the remainder of the 20th century.
