Richard Dolan

Richard Dolan (Historian, Researcher, Author, and Lecturer) will be signing copies of his new book: UFOs and the National Security State: The Cover-Up Exposed, 1973-1991. The study is the second volume in a projected trilogy, covering all facets of the phenomenon from the 1940s to the present day.

Using archival sources from the U.S. and Canadian National Archives, professional journals, and direct investigations and interviews, Dolan provides a detailed analysis of the critical UFO encounters by military and civilians worldwide. These encounters repeatedly demonstrated that the UFO phenomenon has been global, and the result of highly advanced technology that has received no official recognition. This study also presents an analysis of UFO secrecy itself, throwing light on areas that have long operated in darkness. Dolan analyzes the structure of power behind the scenes, describes the "black budget" and "Special Access Programs," studies the relationship of military versus corporate control of the UFO secret, and provides a geopolitical analysis throughout to bring the topic of UFO secrecy into the mainstream of historical understanding.

In addition to his books, Dolan has also published articles and spoken at conferences around the world and appeared in documentaries for the History Channel, Sci Fi Channel, BBC, and elsewhere. In 2006 he was host to a six-episode series for the Sci Fi Channel, called SciFi Investigates.
