Скачать или смотреть Why Ufology Needs a New Map | Richard Dolan

Ufology has changed dramatically over the past decade, but the way we define it hasn’t kept up. In this talk, Richard Dolan explores why the field needs a clearer framework, one that goes beyond sightings and investigation methods to include science, history, intelligence, human experience, culture, and policy. Rather than arguing for any single theory, this presentation asks a more basic question: what is ufology, really? And what would it take to treat it as a serious, interdisciplinary field of study?

#RichardDolan the UAP Historian

For over 25 years, Richard Dolan has been a leading UFO researcher and historian, dedicated to uncovering the truth behind the phenomenon. He offers thought-provoking insights and comprehensive analysis of UFOs/UAPs, exploring sightings, government cover-ups, and the ongoing push for disclosure. Richard's work provides crucial context by connecting the UFO subject to broader social, political, and technological developments, making him unique among researchers.

Dolan is the author of several groundbreaking books. His massive two-volume history, UFOs and the National Security State, has permanently altered our understanding of UFO history and government secrecy. In A.D. After Disclosure (co-authored), he speculates on the profound societal changes if extraterrestrial life were publicly acknowledged. UFOs for the 21st Century Mind: The Definitive Guide to the UFO Mystery serves as an updated, single-volume overview, incorporating recent developments and critical context, essential for both beginners and experienced researchers. He also uniquely analyzes the beings behind the phenomenon in The Alien Agendas, and his latest, A History of USOs: Unidentified Submerged Objects, meticulously documents mysterious objects observed in bodies of water.
