brarians responsible for book selection, thE' author says that no amowit cf
rationalizing about "future historical importance;• "balanc~d collections,'' and
"public demand" can justify their expenditure of tax dollars for books about
Dying saucers "whose purpose seems to satisfy a jaded taste for the bizarre
and the sensatiorud. "

----- A suggested scientific investigation of the UFO phenomenon. Flying saucer
review, v. 13, Nov. -Dec. 1967: 22-24.
In setting up a scientific investigation into the UFO phenomenon, it is suggested
thatthe following steps be taken: (1) cancellation of unnecessary security restric-
tions; (2) a systematic rather than haphazard search for UFO appearances;
(3) use of the most effective detection methods available; (4) determination of
the best locations to set up detection instruments; (5) use of a convergent pro-
cedure to alert given areas of a possible UFO sighting; (6) distribution of avail-
able equipment and trained observers in reasonable proportions in different
areas (7) consideration of effect the search procedure might have on the search-
ed object.
