New UFO reference book published. Sounds like it would be a good resource.
UFO Sightings Desk Reference: United States of America 2001-2015
Paperback – March 24, 2017
by Cheryl Costa (Author), Linda Miller Costa (Author)
$32.06
The first book of its kind, the UFO Sightings Desk Reference: United States of America 2001-2015 presents data and analysis for 100,000+ sightings of unidentified flying objects reported by individuals during the first 15 years of the 21st century.
Since 1969 the government has claimed no interest in the subject, and the press and media either ignore or ridicule any mention of UFOs. Yet citizen scientists and non-governmental organizations have continued to this day the research into this important subject: this book seeks to make the hardest data available accessible to the general public, as well as other UFO researchers.
The book is organized into beginning narrative sections including analysis of UFO sightings, frequently asked questions, and how to use this book, followed by the data. Charts, tables, and maps are presented of summary data for the entire US and individual chapters for all 50 states (down to the county level) plus the District of Columbia.
Aimed at the serious UFO researcher, this comprehensive volume is also of value to academic and public libraries, news organizations, and anyone who is interested in what is flying in the skies over their heads where they live.

"Cheryl Costa and Linda Miller have provided a great resource to anyone interested in the field"

As a member of The Board Of Directors of MUFON Los Angeles, I'm always searching for scientific works on the phenomenon. Cheryl Costa and Linda Miller have provided a great resource to anyone interested in the field. The Desk Reference notates every reported UFO sighting in The United States over the last 16 years.
"A wonderful encyclopedia of reports of UFO sightings"
April 25, 2017 by Robert C. Ross
This is a fascinating book for people who love data and are intrigued by the phenomena of UFO sightings. Whether you are a believer, a doubter, or just interested in statistical studies, there is something here for you.
There are no written accounts in these 371 pages of charts and graphs. Instead, the data is presented by geography and timing of the reported incidents, and by the various shapes that witnesses reported: flying circles, spheres, triangles, discs, ovals, cigars.
The authors' conclusion: many of the reports explainable, but a small group defies current explanation. Their primary interest here is disclosure: “We wanted to do our bit for disclosure. It’s something the government should have been doing.”
