Top UFO articles from mainstream scientific and academic journals

I think some people would be surprised by the number of articles relating to UFOs, ufology and alien abductions published in mainstream scientific and academic journals (particularly from a psychological / sociological viewpoint).

I've done some work with Chris Rutkowski to develop a list created by him of the top UFO journal articles, and I have now also created a new online folder containing the journal articles I found most interesting and/or significant.

I don't post here on ATS every time I upload UFO material to my free online UFO / Fortean archive, but I thought this new section might be of interest to some here.

To begin this section, I've uploaded over a couple of hundred journal articles.

The new directory with this material from scientific / academic journals is at the link below:
files.afu.se...

A partial index (with hyperlinks to some of the journal articles) is at the top of the directory at the link above.

(I've tried posting a direct link here to that partial index, but I think it is too long for the ATS system...).

If anyone has any favourite scientific journal articles about UFOS not currently in that folder, I would - of course - be more than happy to add them.

I couldn't find any covers that I wanted to use to illustrate this post, so I'll just paste an image that I found amusing in the context of the recent balloons/UFO shoot-down events.

The articles currently in this new folder (which is likely to expand considerably soon) are listed below:

Great work (again) Isaac.

Particularly interested in this chap.

• "There was a man who played a very influential role in World War II deceptions, his name was Dr. R. V. Jones. Aside from being the MOD's Director of Scientific Intelligence he was a leading expert in the use of deception, his whole thing was 'how do you fool people?' and he would dream up very elaborate methods of hoodwinking people and steering them away from some things the military did not want people to know about.

Interestingly enough Jones evidently played an important behind the scenes role in planning for the University of Colorado's UFO study by Edward Condon and the Robertson Panel - I think this is a significant fact that has not got a lot of attention in the UFO community so far."

I think some people would be surprised by the number of articles relating to UFOs, ufology and alien abductions published in mainstream scientific and academic journals (particularly from a psychological / sociological viewpoint).

I've done some work with Chris Rutkowski to develop a list created by him of the top UFO journal articles, and I have now also created a new online folder containing the journal articles I found most interesting and/or significant.

I don't post here on ATS every time I upload UFO material to my free online UFO / Fortean archive, but I thought this new section might be of interest to some here.

To begin this section, I've uploaded over a couple of hundred journal articles.

The new directory with this material from scientific / academic journals is at the link below:
files.afu.se...

A partial index (with hyperlinks to some of the journal articles) is at the top of the directory at the link above.

(I've tried posting a direct link here to that partial index, but I think it is too long for the ATS system...).

If anyone has any favourite scientific journal articles about UFOS not currently in that folder, I would - of course - be more than happy to add them.

I couldn't find any covers that I wanted to use to illustrate this post, so I'll just paste an image that I found amusing in the context of the recent balloons/UFO shoot-down events.

Excellent thread! Starred&Flagged.

Cheers Karl.

I've just sent you a U2U message that I think may be of interest.

Thanks, but I'm not done yet. The uploaded collection is basically just a start.

I hope the UFO community has a desire to build upon it. We'll see.

Super cool, thanks.
