“Summary of Sightings of Unknown Phenomena,
17th District OSI” (Selected Cases)

(Air Force Office of Special Investigations,

(NICAP.org)

Quote from NICAP.org’s “1949 UFO Chronology and the Grudge Report” (nicap.org):
“This chronology is currently a 29-page report and a very important year in UFOlogy.  I want to thank all the members of the A-Team who made this possible.  To look at and/or print all the 1949 Blue Book monthly summaries, click here. Otherwise the monthly listings are inserted within this chronology by month. Note: There are 209 entries in the 38-page La Paz catalog, the ‘Summary of Sightings of Unknown Phenomena, 17th District OSI’.  But in the 1949 group there were 144 sightings and the only ones listed here are the reports with some important details to make them extraordinary. Also, brief case descriptions giving the category number, name of witness, and source in brackets (M=military), are NICAP UFO Evidence entries that haven't been located. Finally, I want thank Loren Gross for thoughtfully and diligently collecting data many years ago for his UFO Histories and supplemental notes, in particular here the year 1949. And a big thanks to CUFOS and Mary Castnor for housing them on the CUFOS site.”

“UFOs On the Record: debunkers beware”

by Billy Cox, 10 August 2010

(De Void, Sarasota Herald-Tribune, Florida)

Billy Cox gives his views on Leslie Kean’s book, “UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go On the Record”:

http://devoid.blogs.heraldtribune.com/11096/ufos-on-the-record-debunkers-beware/

Quote from the article:

“Her reasoning is sharpened by two political science professors, Dr. Alexander Wendt of Ohio State University, and the University of Minnesota’s Dr. Raymond Duvall, who contribute an essay, “Militant Agnosticism and the UFO Taboo.” They make a strong case that “the problem of UFO ignorance is fundamentally political before it is scientific.”
