ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
My very special thanks go to Dr. J. Allen Hynek, who has made
available the Air Force documents used in this study; Mr. Aime Michel,
who communicated many important data and ideas about recent sightings;
Mr. Donald B. Hanlon, who reviewed the early landing cases and
the occupant reports; Messrs. Raymond Veillith and F. Lagarde, who
made many useful remarks and had this list translated and published
in France; Mr. Jean Vuillequcz, who made his erudition available to
this project and agreed to check the entire catalogue against his own
extensive files; Mr. Andrew Tomas, with whom the idea of this compilation
was discussed at an early stage and who offered valuable help
in the analysis of the Australian sightings; our correspondents in several
countries who prefer not to be identified; and the many organizations
engaged in a serious study of this problem throughout the world.
