UFO Studies, Research Papers and Books
Contrary to popular belief, some very serious studies have been done on UFOs and Flying Saucer reports. There are at least five major scientific studies, some of which are listed below. It is important to know that these were done by the top professionals of the day, and not by some two-bit armchair researcher who had nothing better to do than to make up some falsified reports. The True History of what was done in regards to Unidentified Flying Objects is revealed in these documents.

The Most Serious Studies Ever Done On UFOs

PROJECT BLUE BOOK - SPECIAL REPORT NO.14
May 5, 1955

Project Blue Book Special Report #14 was the culmination of an in-depth study of Unidentified Flying Objects done by the Batelle Memorial Institute for the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) which was located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, and is dated May 5, 1955.

The bulk of the data (3,201 sightings) arrived at ATIC through regular military channels, from June 1947 until the middle of 1952.

Categories of identification, established upon the basis of previous experience, were as follows:

• Balloon
• Astronomical
Aircraft
• Light phenomenon
• Birds
• Clouds, dust, etc.
• Insufficient information
• Psychological manifestations
• Unknown
• Other

UNKNOWN — This designation in the identification code was assigned to those reports of sightings wherein the description of the object and its maneuvers could not be fitted to the pattern of any known object or phenomenon.

INSUFFICIENT INFORMATION — The identification category was assigned to a report when upon final consideration there was some essential item of information missing…. It is emphasized that this category was not used as a convenient way to dispose of what might be called poor unknowns.”

Here is the quality distribution of the same 3201 sightings. Note especially that the better the quality of the sighting, the MORE likely to be listed as an UNKNOWN. A statistical comparison between UNKNOWNS and KNOWNS showed that the probability that the UNKNOWNS were just missed KNOWNS was less than 1%.

QUALITY DISTRIBUTION OF UFO REPORTS
In Blue Book Special Report # 14

Sightings No. % Unknowns % Insufficient Info %
EXCELLENT 308 9.6 108 35.1 12 3.9
Good 1070 33.4 282 26.4 33 3.1
Doubtful 1298 40.5 203 15.6 150 11.6
Poor 525 16.4 96 18.3 103 19.6

It should further be noted that the press release not only didn’t mention the title (surely some reporter would have asked what happened to the other thirteen reports) but did not mention who did the work, namely Battelle Memorial Institute (a very highly respected Research and Development Organization) in Columbus, Ohio. Apparently the press never asked about either the title or the organization. Amazingly, the three-page summary that was released with the press release gave none of the information in the more than 240 charts, tables, graphs and maps that are in the report. Here was a Cosmic Watergate totally ignored by the media.

He had also written papers on the several unusual aspects linked to Unidentified Flying Objects, such as:
