It is a thorough and monumental undertaking. I applaud your effort.
—Dr. Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 Astronaut

Destined to become a true classic ... packed with information ... [Dolan] is a skilled writer whose style never bores ... [he] has done Ufology a major service.
—Nick Redfern, UFO Magazine (U.K)

This remarkable and monumental book by an Oxford-educated academic looks at the government's UFO record with a clear, careful eye. The documentation is spectacularly good, the best ever on the UFO subject. And the conclusion is overwhelmingly powerful: there is most certainly a coverup in place, and it is active right now. Dolan has broken through to the heart of the matter, using careful research and solid, fact-based arguments. No speculation here.
— Whitley Strieber, best-selling author of "Communion."

Surely this is one UFO book which deserves to be in your library.
—Robert C. Girard, President, Arcturus Books, Inc.

If we're lucky, at least one seminal work on UFOs is written each generation. UFOs and the National Security State is the book for this generation, one that comprehensively dissects what has happened in this complex and obfuscated field.... Everyone interested in this vital subject needs to add it to their library! ... with the possible exception of [Timothy Good's] Above Top Secret, there has not been another work that could even come close to this massive and fascinatingly detailed accounting of UFOs and the military-industrial complex. Dolan has performed a monumental service to the field with its publication.... Exhaustively footnoted, thoroughly indexed, this is the seminal work for this research generation. If there ever had been a 'must read, must have' book on the subject, UFOs and the National Security State is it. I promise you that once you've read it, you'll never view the subject of UFOs or the American military/intelligence establishment in the same light again."
—Don Ecker, Senior Editor, UFO Magazine, (December/January 2001)

This is the best history of the UFO phenomenon in one volume that I have ever read. 
—Loy Lawhon, UFO researcher, columnist, and former MUFON investigator.

This book marks a true watershed in Ufology ... one of the most important books ever written in this field. Dolan has settled, once and for all, any question about the importance of the UFO to the national security apparatus of the United States. This book promises to have tremendous staying power and become truly influential as time passes. Read it today and get an advanced look at what everyone will be thinking a few years from now.
—Val Germann, UFO researcher and writer

Dolan's research provides facts to substantiate the claims that the UFO phenomenon has always been global; that UFOs are actual objects; that the actual number of UFO sightings exceeds any official total; and that official government investigators found that some people were actually seeing alien beings.
—John Schuessler, MUFON UFO Journal

A few personal emails from readers:

This is an excellent book. Very complete and comprehensive, and it favors no camp except a clear record. I've had a life-long interest in this subject and have read countless UFO-related books. This ranks well up on the short list of genuinely valuable works.
—Greg P.

I'm convinced that it will be a very valuable resource in ways no one can predict at this time.
—Sally C.

Very well done! Clear and concise. . . . I particularly like the historical aspect you've included since many people I'm sure, are not aware of much of the information you presented that brings to light the government's intervention in covering up UFO data.
—Art S.

You bring insight, clarity, and intelligence to a topic most people relegate to the Twilight Zone.
—Christopher T.

The writing is imaginative and easily understood . . .
—Joan M.

I'm really impressed with how much you have immersed yourself in this highly complex field, fraught with denials and misinformation.
—Michael T.

I just read your intro and it is great! You are an inspiration. . . . Prior to reading [it], I would have considered myself quite skeptical. However, at certain points I couldn't stop reading even though circumstances said I should. I [now] feel I have to remain open minded. You are well informed, intelligent, reasonable and have a certain "purity" in your approach that is compelling. You are a truth seeker and will settle for nothing less!
—John B.

Your work is the best and most informative I've seen in a long time. Very PROFESSIONAL!
—Sandy B.

I'm very enthusiastic about the approach you have taken to this subject. Nice hard hitting, no punches pulled.
—Gary A.
