About this listen
Richard Dolan's UFOs and the National Security State (Volume 1) has become a classic work of UFO history, a must for all students of this often confusing subject - or simply for those who want a deeper understanding of a key part of 20th-century history. This is the first volume of a two-part detailed chronological narrative of the national security dimensions of the UFO phenomenon from 1941 to the present. Working from hundreds of declassified records and other primary and secondary sources, Dolan centers his investigation on the American military and intelligence communities, demonstrating that they take UFOs seriously indeed.
Included in this volume are the activities of more than 50 military bases relating to UFOs, innumerable violations of sensitive airspace by unknown craft, and analyses of the Roswell controversy, the CIA-sponsored Robertson Panel, and the Condon Committee Report. Dolan highlights the development of civilian anti-secrecy movements, which flourished in the 1950s and 1960s until the adoption of an official government policy and subsequent "closing of the door" during the Nixon administration.

Story
In this revised and expanded edition of Richard Dolan's previous classic on the UFO subject, he brings the listener through the tumultuous journey of the UFO/UAP subject through the early 2020s. This includes a detailed treatment of the changes to our public discussion of UFOs since 2017 and what is the likely end point of this new direction. But Dolan provides much more than this, including providing critical context of the UFO subject within the broader social, political, and technological developments of our world, something that makes him unique among UFO researchers.

Story
Is there a secret space program that is connected in some way to UFOs? Providing a wealth of data and context for the listener, historian Richard Dolan offers his own conclusion: Yes, there is indeed such a program. But this program is not a simple extension of the normal operations of the US government or military, much less of NASA. Instead, it seems to be the product of what Dolan has previously termed a “breakaway civilization”, a radically advanced and increasingly separate structure that has access to classified science and data denied to the rest of us.

Story
This classic in the field of ufology is filled with hard-hitting eyewitness testimony of one of the most important events of all time: the actual recovery of a UFO outside of Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. For more than seventy years, government authorities have led us to believe the wreckage was merely a very conventional weather balloon - but the witnesses who were there continue to tell a different story. Witness to Roswell once again provides a "can't put down" written account of what really transpired in Roswell decades ago.

The 1978 sighting is just one of thousands since the 1940s, and yet research into UFOs is still seen as the realm of crackpots and conspiracy theorists.

Of the many books on UFOs and aliens, this one may be unique. Richard Dolan, one of the world’s leading historians of the UFO subject, has analyzed the different alien types and agendas based on longstanding patterns observed by witnesses. This is both a careful review of the best evidence we have of human-alien interaction, as well as a bold speculation of just who the aliens are and what they want. Dolan’s analysis starts with our ancient prehistory and potential genetic modifications and monitoring by extraterrestrials.

What is the nature of unidentified aerial phenomena? Forty years ago a small cadre of dedicated researchers began actively investigating cases, interviewing witnesses, and exchanging data through a small, informal network of international contacts. Today this low-profile network, or "invisible college", has grown into a larger, multination volunteer research effort joined by many individuals. But the questions first raised 40 years ago remain current - and unanswered.

In Dimensions, Dr. Jacques Vallee reexamines the historical record that led to the modern UFO phenomenon and to the belief in alien contact. He then tackles the enigma of abduction reports, which come from various times and various countries, as well as the psychic and spiritual components of the contact experience. In the last portion of the book, he notes the factors that inhibit research into the phenomenon - the triple coverup and political motivations - and concludes that the extraterrestrial theory is simply not strange enough to explain the facts.

Traditionally, Americans learned in school that the ancestors of the people who inhabited the Western Hemisphere at the time of Columbus' landing had crossed the Bering Strait 12,000 years ago; existed mainly in small nomadic bands; and lived so lightly on the land that the Americas were, for all practical purposes, still a vast wilderness. But as Charles C. Mann now makes clear, archaeologists and anthropologists have spent the last 30 years proving these and many other long-held assumptions wrong.

Story
Award-winning investigative journalist Ross Coulthart has been intrigued by UFOs since mysterious glowing lights were reported near New Zealand's Kaikoura mountains when he was a teenager. The 1978 sighting is just one of thousands since the 1940s, and yet research into UFOs is still seen as the realm of crackpots and conspiracy theorists.

Story
In Dimensions, Dr. Jacques Vallee reexamines the historical record that led to the modern UFO phenomenon and to the belief in alien contact. He then tackles the enigma of abduction reports, which come from various times and various countries, as well as the psychic and spiritual components of the contact experience. In the last portion of the book, he notes the factors that inhibit research into the phenomenon - the triple coverup and political motivations - and concludes that the extraterrestrial theory is simply not strange enough to explain the facts.

After explaining why UFOs are taken seriously in national security circles around the world, he provides his best analysis to date as to how the secrecy on UFOs has taken form, how it has corroded our society, and how it works internationally.

The case against UFOs and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) has not been put to rest. Although UFOs "officially" did not exist for decades according to the government, reports of sightings continue to be made, and the latest releases from the government and related hearings have surprised the world. While the scientific community has put UFOs out to pasture, the evidence used to dismiss them is rare and unscientific.

Comprehensive History of UFO
The stories and examples in this book represent Mr. Dolan’s time and research into this field. It’s the best guide and history of this subject I’ve ever listened to. What do these things mean for everyone? Friend or Foe? Unlike most books in this field, I left with more answers instead of more questions. Thanks Richard Dolan!

this is absolutely the definitive book on the subject
Years of my own research have led me to conclude that Richard Dolan is the definitive researcher in the UFO field, because of his historian perspective. And this book is clearly his Magnum Opus. Anyone interested in this subject must read this book first. This is a “red pill” sort of book, because it will leave no doubt in the reader’s mind that the US military and secret services, i.e. the components of the national security state, have been systematically lying on this subject for more than 70 years and continue to do so, with lies of both commission and omission.
Unfortunately, the narrator was unfamiliar with the subject matter, unfamiliar with the names and acronyms, unfamiliar with common English idioms and conventions of pronunciation, and even unfamiliar with hundreds of ordinary English vocabulary words. The rate of wrong pronunciation and other narration errors, such as errors in emphasis, exceeded one per page, making it somewhat distracting. Don’t give up! The content of the book is worth ignoring this shortcoming.

A thoroughly enlightening and entertaining book
This book was a fun and informative listen. Although some of the information was repeated throughout the book,there was a lot of new information presented. I am hoping that there will be a followup book. My only complaint is with the “Narrator”, although he seemed to be quite enthusiastic about the material which he was presenting, he read it at quite a quick pace, more of a “jog” through the material than a nice “stroll”, this caused me to rewind on several occasions to make sure of what he just said. And his mispronunciation of some historic names such as the former V.P. of the U.S.A.“SPYRO” instead of Spiro, or locations such as the lake/reservoir in New Jersey gave a minute to pause,and when he kept pronouncing N.I.C.A.P. By each letter throughout his narration until chapter seven, when he suddenly declared that from that point on he was going to pronounce it as “NYCAP” I wondered what took him so long,and why the change at that point. Other than those minor “nits” it was quite a good listen and I’d recommend this book to anyone with an interest in this subject.

A great overview of the first 30 years of ufology
Dolan's two volumes, UFOs and the National Security State, are exhaustive and well researched. I'm happy to now have it in audiobook form. Baldwin's pronunciation of some names is cringe worthy, but his voice is enjoyable and worth the power through. If you're interested in the UFO topic, this is a great place to start.

Those who have power are afraid to lose it.
That’s the general gist of this book. Admittedly I grow tired of books that state case after case as anecdotal evidence supposing to bowl over the reader to conclude that there’s ETs on Earth. But with the sheer quantity of it all (and more that have gone unreported) it’s hard not to raise one’s eyebrow at this ongoing social and political phenomenon of UFOlogy.
Side note: the narrator needs to research the subject’s names a little better. Spiro Agnew is pronounced SPEE-ROW Agnew, not SPY-ROW. Next time he narrates a book he needs a little more preparation and a little less literary emotion.

Quite good
What a researcher! I learned more about stories with which I was already familiar and I learned about many more that I'd never before heard. There's a second volume covering more recent years and I hope it comes out on Audible soon.
I didn't have a problem with the narrator like some have mentioned. Yes, he pronounces some words oddly but it's not a deal breaker. I had to change the speaking speed to 0.9 as he does speak a bit fast but that's not a problem either. It would've been a problem only if I couldn't adjust the speed.

Sticking to facts
Having followed Richard's work on his YouTube channel, I knew that he would stick to the facts.
As much as I had become acquainted to the whole UFO cover up, this book made me realise the extent of it and the early history of it.
It has also helped me understand the key role that Donald Kehoe played in keeping the topic alive with the public. If it wasn't for his work and the work of a few others who were willing to fight for the truth, regardless of the cost, we would know nothing about the whole phenomenon.
