and he called UFOs foo fighters. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo_fighter)

In the early 1950s when I was in the 2nd and 3rd grades, he came to visit us in western Nebraska, and he and I would often sit on the porch looking for foo fighters with his binoculars. We didn't see any, but we kept looking. Around that time, I was still creeped out from seeing Them, a movie about giant ants, and I was relieved I didn't see any of Them up there along with the flying papers and other debris.

Thanks for the video. Informative and fascinating!

His books are massively documented as an historian and documents the growth of the secret state budgets and secrecy.
His books are long and are well worth the money on the subject.

You might like this documentary by a German who uses Dolan a lot in his presentation to address the Ufo conundrum.



We had a very good friend of the family who was the deputy director for the US house space and technology. He and I were drinking a lot of scotch at one time and he told me in 1975 that the public would have anti gravity devices in 5 years cause he had seen the secret program briefings.
I never forgot that since he went to down to Fla. for every moon shot and wasn't a bullshiter so I suspect it was technology that wasn't ours.

My dad saw foo fighters flying B29s out of Tinan base to bomb japan.
