On episode 403, we welcome back UFO researcher and historian, Richard Dolan, to talk all about his new book, A History 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 shares some of his favourite USO cases, how he compiled his research, theories and observations on the phenomena, and what to expect in the next two volumes of his book series. He also answers your listener questions and so much more.
