On 25 September 1950, JANAP(Joint Army Navy Air Publication) 146(A) was officially issued, referring to UFOs.

JANAP 146 was first issued on 1 October 1948 without any reference to UFOs.

JANAP 146 was declassified on 12 December 1953.

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 Many links to material on UFO websites quickly become out of date.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 included below a search box which can be used to search various leading UFO websites at the same time. You can then click on tabs at the top of the search results to list only results from forums, only results from websites I have labelled as "skeptical" etc. I have included tabs for a couple of specific websites that I find particularly useful, including the valuable archives of the UFO UpDates email discussion List. The relevant websites are all listed in the discussion of the "UFO Searchillion" search engine in Section 2.4 of the "Free UFO Researcher Starter Pack" and continues to evolve...

 

The relevant search box is one of the two main tools on this website which are intended to help reduce the amount of reinvention of the wheel within UFOlogy. The other main tool is the collection of tables of references to discussion of UFO incidents, personalities and other matters in various books. Those tables can be sorted by author, length and date. I hope these tools are useful.

 

 

 

Book References

Text of JANAP 146(b) (version as at 1951.0906) presented by Keyhoe, Donald E in his “The Flying Saucer Conspiracy” (1955) (available on Amazon USA and on Amazon UK) at pages 237-241 of the Hutchinson hardback edition (in Appendix 1).

Image of JANAP 146(d) (version promulgated on 1959.0201) 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 112-135 of the D Van Nostrand hardback edition (in Appendix 3).

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. Together with the "UFO Searchillion" search box, I hope that these tables are found to be a useful contribution to UFOlogy.
