UFOs and the National Security State: Chronology of a Coverup, 1941-1973 by Richard M. Dolan

4.5
This was a great collection of information. I loved how truly chronological it was. Did go on a tad too long though. Still I'm looking forward to the second volume.

I’ve been on a major UFO kick lately and this book was a grail of information.
Spanning the years of 1941-1973, this book discusses various documented and undocumented UFO sightings as well as government involvement and denial. A majority of the book consists of eyewitness accounts across the country.
The book’s organization is fantastic. Each event is told chronologically and sorted into sections. The pages are jam-packed with information. It’s easy to see why this is the first of two volumes. Despite the amount of information, it didn’t feel dull or dry.

Sets aside the issue of whether UFOs exist/are space aliens in favor of making the argument that the U.S. had (and perhaps still has) an interest in unidentified objects in the sky, and with good reason. Dense history but extremely well researched and written - a level-headed study.
