A further memo from H Marshal Chadwell (CIA Assistant Director for Scientifc Intelligence) on 2 October 1952 to CIA Director Walter Smith summarised his views and proposed action, including the recommendation that the Director of Central Intelligence “advise the National Security Council of the implications of the ‘flying saucer’ problem and request that research be initiated”.

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 Many links to material on UFO websites quickly become out of date.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 memo in Timothy Good’s “Above Top Secret” (1987) (available on Amazon USA and on Amazon UK) at pages 505-506 (in the Appendix) of the Sidgwick & Jackson hardback edition (with the same page numbering in the Guild Publishing hardback edition and the Grafton paperback edition).

Lengthy extract of text of memo presented by Klass, Philip J in “UFOs – The Public Deceived” (1983) (available on Amazon USA and on Amazon UK) at pages 25-26 of the Prometheus softback edition (in Chapter 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. I hope that these tables are found to be a useful contribution to UFOlogy.
