A History of USOs: Unidentified Submerged Objects (Volume 1: From the Beginning to 1969) by Richard M. Dolan is the first installment in a groundbreaking three-volume series that explores the fascinating and often unexplained phenomenon of USOs—Unidentified Submerged Objects. This meticulously researched book delves into the earliest reported sightings of mysterious objects observed in oceans, lakes, and rivers, spanning centuries and covering 178 carefully documented cases up to 1969.
Dolan’s work is both a historical and scientific inquiry, examining accounts that have often been overlooked or forgotten. With a keen eye for detail, he places these encounters within a broader historical and technological context, raising questions about the nature of these enigmatic objects. Are they advanced technology from unknown civilizations, natural phenomena, or something else entirely? This volume sets the stage for understanding the long history of USO encounters, laying the foundation for the rest of the series.
The book is enriched with maps by the author and full color illustrations by Allan Lavigne, providing a visual dimension to the narratives. Dolan’s research draws from a wide range of sources, including military reports, eyewitness accounts, and historical records, all analyzed through a detailed system that evaluates factors such as time, location, shape, color, and witness credibility. This methodical approach allows readers to identify patterns and themes that emerge across decades and continents.
Volume 1 is not just a collection of stories; it is a thought-provoking exploration of the unknown, challenging readers to reconsider their understanding of the oceans and the universe. Whether you are a skeptic, a believer, or simply curious, this book offers a compelling journey into the uncharted depths of our planet—and beyond.
REVIEWS:
“Richard Dolan’s A History of USOs could not come at a more critical time. His comprehensive and wide-ranging work reinforces our relatively recent awareness that UAP are observed in all domains and the vast majority may be in our oceans. Dolan's seminal three-volume set on USOs will surely bring about a sea change in how humanity understands anomalous phenomena.”
-- The Honorable Tim Gallaudet, Ph.D., Rear Admiral, U.S. Navy (ret.), former Under Secretary of Commerce and Administrator of the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
“Richard Dolan takes you on an intellectual deep dive, blending history, data, and storytelling to chart centuries of encounters with Unidentified Submerged Objects. With the rigor of a historian and the charm of a master storyteller, Dolan expands our understanding of the unexplained from the skies to the ocean depths. This carefully crafted narrative is a joy to read.”
-- Garry Nolan, Ph.D., The Rachford and Carlota A. Harris Professor in the Department of Pathology at Stanford University School of Medicine
“Richard Dolan has done it once again. No one previously had the stamina nor desire to sort through the morass of case lore to find the jewels. Here are the jewels, cut and polished to glisten in the light. Even more impressive: here are the statistical correlations, the multi-factor weighting, the confidence assessments that turn raw data into scholarship. I am a big fan.”
-- Colonel Karl E. Nell (Ret.), U.S. Army
“Precisely when scientists around the world are waking up to the UAP/UFO phenomena, Dolan delivers his book on Unidentified Submerged Objects (USOs), emphasizing the long-ignored fact that UFOs are linked to our oceans, lakes, and rivers. These fascinating accounts make clear that we are confronted with a persistent global mystery whose complexity runs deep. This book is a necessity for anyone interested in understanding UAP/UFO/USO phenomena.”
-- Kevin H. Knuth, Ph.D., Editor-in-Chief of Entropy, Professor of Physics, University at Albany (SUNY)
