INDEPENDENT PAPERS

The 1999 COMETA Report

An independent report on UFOs written by the French association COMETA. This report details the results of a study by the Institute of Higher Studies for National Defence.

The Rockefeller UFO Briefing Document

Throughout the 1990s, billionaire philanthropist Laurance S. Rockefeller (1910-2004) sponsored and funded a number of UFO-related projects. This has come to be known as the Rockefeller UFO initiative since in some cases they went beyond funding and included an actual lobbying effort to the Clinton White House, undertaken by Rockefeller himself and his lawyer Henry Diamond, in the early and mid-90s.

RESEARCH PAPER SUPPORT

The SCU

The Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies has a network of scientists who will internally review research papers. Even if they don't accept your paper for review, they often provide help in editing it and suggest changes to get it reviewed. They are a 501c3 non-profit and a great resource for researchers.
