In 2000, he published UFOs and the National Security State: An Unclassified History, 1941-1973 (republished in 2002 with the subtitle Chronology of a Cover-Up, 1941-1973). This 500-page history provides clear detail on the major UFO cases of the early Cold War era, the attitudes and policies toward UFOs by the military and intelligence community, and the fascinating development of the citizen movements to end UFO secrecy. In 2009, Richard completed Volume Two of his historical study, subtitled The Cover-Up Exposed, 1973-1991, and is now at work on the final volume of his historical trilogy. Richard has also published articles and spoken at conferences around the world. Among his main themes are the destruction of our political liberties as a result of the UFO cover-up. He has also speculated on the possible nature of the non-humans themselves and what their presence here means for our civilization. This has led him to take a fresh approach to the topic of “Exopolitics” and to develop unique insights into the practical challenges and opportunities for a true disclosure of the UFO phenomenon. Richard has done a great deal of television work, having appeared on many documentaries for the History Channel, Sci Fi Channel, BBC, and elsewhere. In 2006 he was host to a six-episode series for the Sci Fi Channel, called SciFi Investigates. In addition to his writing commitments and public speaking engagements, Richard is currently co-authoring the book A.D.: After Disclosure. The People's Guide to Life After Contact. His co-author, Bryce Zabel, was the creator and producer of the television series Dark Skies. A.D.: After Disclosure is an analytic "what if" scenario that discusses the multifaceted impact that would be brought about by the end of UFO secrecy. It is due for publication in the Fall of 2010. Richard Dolan lives in Rochester, New York, with Karyn Dolan and their two children. |
