PROJECT 1947 is a 2 1/2 year world-wide effort to
document the origins of modern UFO phenomenon. Research for the
project
has yielded many early-era UFO reports through the FOIA, newspaper
articles and contemporary accounts. Some of the material gathered
by PROJECT 1947 is on display here.
PROJECT 1947 is always looking for volunteers prepared to continue the
search for more UFO documents, and to help process them for the planned
published PROJECT 1947 volumes.
Please read the PROJECT 1947 Information
letter
and contact the PROJECT-1947 co-ordinator, Jan Aldrich, if you have any
questions.
PROJECT 1947 maintains a computer list which allows researchers from
around the world to network, exchange documents, and provide
information about new FOIA releases of UFO-related materials.
PROJECT 1947 volunteers are given automatic membership to the list.
Mail John Stepkowski. for
details.
PROJECT 1947 is an attempt to enhance the future of UFO research by
establishing a solid collection of official UFO documents, newspaper
articles and personal accounts from the beginning of the
modern UFO era.
The first volume of material collected by PROJECT 1947 has been
published by
the UFO Research Coalition as PROJECT 1947: A
Preliminary Report. An extensive collection of 1947 UFO
reports and newspaper accounts from the U.S.A. is supplemented by a
compilation of significant sightings from other countries, including
Sweden and
Scandinavia, Finland, France and Australia.
By compiling a definitive history to show "how we
got here from there", the way to future UFO research projects and
FOIA requests will become much clearer. Persons interested in aiding
the
project are always welcome.
