I've started a new section in my online archive hosted by the AFU in Sweden- this time for the most interesting / significant articles about UFOs from scientific / academic journals.
To begin this section, I've uploaded over a couple of hundred journal articles, and developed a list created by Chris Rutkowski to make a partial index (as a PDF and as a table in a Microsoft Word file which can be sorted by date and by author's name):
The directory with this material from scientific / academic journals is at the link below:
If there is interest in collaborating on this folder of scientific journal material about UFOs, I could develop it further.
If anyone has any favourite scientific journal articles about UFOS not currently in that folder, I would - of course - be more than happy to add them.
(I couldn't find a cover I particularly liked to illustrate this post, so I used PlaygroundAI to generate a illustrative/imagined collection of scientific journals with UFOs on the cover...).
