PDFs: OMNI's UFO articles : By/about Oberg, Sheaffer, Vallee, Hynek, Jerome Clark and many others

I have now added over 175 UFO articles from OMNI magazine to the online archive.

OMNI was a popular science and science fiction magazine in the 1970s-1990s, published in the USA and UK. It published numerous articles about science, space, aliens and parapsychology.

UFO articles in OMNI included a column about UFOs that appeared in most issues - many of which were written by veteran UFO skeptic James Oberg, Jerome Clark (author of the most comprehensive UFO encyclopedia among other books), Dennis Stacy and Paul McCarthy.  The articles also featured interviews of, or articles about, various prominent ufologists - including Hynek and Vallee.

I much prefer to upload material where I have managed to obtain express permission from the copyright holder (and I have been successful in getting such permission for hundreds of sets of UFO periodicals etc...) or where the material is clearly in the public domain.  I'm currently not 100% clear as to the status of material in OMNI magazine but scans of a full set of OMNI magazine were made available online about a decade ago and are on various websites, so presumably there is no real problem with my including a relatively small proportion of OMNI's content in the UFO archive. Since one of the largest proportions of UFO material is from James Oberg, I have checked with him that he personally has no objection to my including his OMNI material in my archive. Of course, if anyone claiming to be a copyright holder wants anything removed then I will do so promptly.  (Also, of course, if anyone is in a position to give, or obtain, any permission to upload any further UFO material then I'd like to hear from them as I have a lot more digitised UFO material I'd like to be able to include in the online archive...). 

Russian researcher Mikhail Gershtein kindly provided me with scans of about 70 articles from OMNI. I have spent a bit of time searching my digital copies of OMNI for additional OMNI articles about UFOs. Those efforts have added about another 100 (mainly from the "UFO Update" columns that appeared almost on a monthly basis in OMNI). Unfortunately, the quality of some of the further scans I obtained were not of the usual high standard of those supplied by Mikhail and other members of my informal network of UFO groups/researchers. The articles are readable but the text recognition results of some items are affected by the quality of those scans, so while I have (of course...) sought to make the scans searchable the results are not as good as I would like.
