I've cut and paste the relevant email below:<BR/><BR/>The Bufora research page at the link below refers to one of their "16 major projects underway at the present time" (as at the date of that webpage, May 2002) as the "Pilots Project":<BR/>http://www.bufora.org.uk/RD/research_projects.htm<BR/><BR/>The same webpage includes the "Pilots Project" in a list of projects "actively underway, for which early-draft publication is expected".<BR/><BR/>Another webpage on the BUFORA website (link below) states that the the "Pilot's Project" involves "collating the world-wide reports of UFOs by a specialist group of trained observers - pilots":<BR/>http://www.bufora.org.uk/about_bufora.htm<BR/><BR/>Rather than references for any of the (many) famous UFO reports by pilots, I assume that BUFORA's research team would find it more useful if we provided references to existing projects to collate such reports. (As always, it is possible that BUFORA is well aware of all such other projects - but given our rather diverse interests and knowledge, we may be able to point to one or two catalogues or sources that BUFORA is not aware of).<BR/><BR/>Firstly, I think it is worth noting the numerous online articles and case listings available in relation to sightings by pilots at the webpage below: http://www.ufoevidence.org/topics/pilotsightings.htm<BR/><BR/><BR/>Secondly, there are several books that focus almost exclusively on reports by pilots (including one book by Jenny which concentrates on reports by British pilots). I have in mind the following books:<BR/><BR/>(1) Randles, Jenny “Something in the Air” (1998) generally, particularly the Introduction of the Hale hardback edition.<BR/><BR/>(2) Clark, Jerome “Strange Skies: Pilot Encounters with UFOs” (2003) generally, particularly at pages 108-136 (Chapter 6 generally), 177-213 (Chapter 8 generally) of the Citadel softcover edition.<BR/><BR/>(3) Smith, Willy “On Pilots and UFOs” (1997). (I haven't obtained this book yet, but it is referred to by Jerome Clark in his book, above).<BR/><BR/><BR/>Thirdly, the other existing catalogues of pilot sightings that I'm aware of are:<BR/><BR/>(1) AIRCAT -Richard Haines’ pilot-UFO report database<BR/><BR/>I assume that AIRCAT is incorporated now within the work of "NARCAP" (the "National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena" established in the USA late in 2000), which has a website at:<BR/>http://www.narcap.org/<BR/><BR/>AIRCAT discussed:<BR/>Discussed by Randles, Jenny in her “Something in the Air” (1998) at page 33 (in Chapter 3) of the Hale hardback edition.<BR/><BR/>Discussed by Susan Wright in her “UFO Headquarters” (1998) at page 60 (in Chapter 3), 146, 147 (in Chapter 8) of the St Martin’s Press softcover edition.<BR/><BR/>Discussed by Peter Sturrock in his “The UFO Enigma” (1999) at page 85 (in Chapter 11 generally) of the Warner Aspect hardback edition.<BR/><BR/>(2) Dominique Weinstein’s “Aircraft/UFO Encounters Catalogue” <BR/><BR/>One version of Weinstein's catalogue is available online at the link below:<BR/>http://www.project1947.com/acufoe.htm<BR/><BR/>Discussed by Susan Wright in her “UFO Headquarters” (1998) at page 147 (in Chapter 8) of the St Martin’s Press softcover edition.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Kind Regards, <BR/><BR/>Isaac KoiIsaac Koihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04619755188522396631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10903320.post-1117255613070223522005-05-28T01:46:00.000-03:002005-05-28T01:46:00.000-03:00Dante:Just leaving a day later.Mac:Clark is one of...Dante:<BR/><BR/>Just leaving a day later.<BR/><BR/>Mac:<BR/><BR/>Clark is one of the more reasonable voices in modern ufology - always worth a read, even if you don't agree with him.<BR/><BR/>PaulPaul Kimballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08804735930733797952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10903320.post-1117253561276314142005-05-28T01:12:00.000-03:002005-05-28T01:12:00.000-03:00Thanks for the recommendation/review.
