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 Many links to material on UFO websites quickly become out of date.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

Complete images of relevant report presented by Stone, Clifford E in his “UFOs are Real“ (1997) as Document 7_2a - 7_2x (in Chapter 7) of the SPI softcover edition.

Complete images of report presented by Shawcross, Tim in his “The Roswell File” (1997) (available on Amazon USA and on Amazon UK) at the end of the Appendix to the Bloomsbury softcover edition.

Relevant Air Force press release and relatively lengthy extract of the report published in “The UFO Invasion” (1997) (edited by Kendrick Frazier, Barry Karr and Joe Nickell) (available on Amazon USA and on Amazon UK) at pages 98-112 of the Prometheus hardback edition (Chapter 11 generally, “Air Force Report on the Roswell Incident”). The relevant chapter is a reprint of an article in the Skeptical Inquirer 19 (January/February 1995).

Complete image of covering press release presented by Stone, Clifford E in his “UFOs are Real“ (1997) as Document 7_1 (in Chapter 7) of the SPI softcover edition.

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.
