(US) Sixty volumes of "meticulous UFO research over 30 years" by the late Ufologist Leonard H. Stringfield were donated to the Mutual UFO Network (
MUFON), according to an August 3, 2012, announcement by MUFON Executive Director David MacDonald who spoke at the organization's annual symposium.
The news of Stringfield's work surfacing and in MUFON's hands now had been kept secret prior to the 8 p.m. announcement as one of two "blockbuster UFO discoveries" that the group was to make at the Cincinnati event. A second briefing will be made about 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, August 5.
Stringfield (1920-1994) was an American ufologist who worked with government and private agencies to track UFO reports and had a special interest in reports of crashed objects.
MUFON Pennsylvania State Director John Ventre, reacting by telephone just minutes after the announcement, said MacDonald touched on just some of the written evidence compiled by Stringfield.
