Terry Hansen is an independent journalist and magazine publisher with an interest in scientific controversies and the politics of mass media. He has followed the UFO controversy for decades and has written about it for various media. In addition, he has organized and moderated two symposiums about The Science and Politics of the UFO Research for the Science Museum of Minnesota. He has spoken about the news media's role in the UFO controversy on various national radio and television shows including Dreamland and the History Channel. Hansen holds a bachelor's degree in biology and a master's degree in science journalism, both from the University of Minnesota. He is retired from the magazine-publishing industry and now lives in the Canadian Gulf Islands with his wife Jess.




The Missing Times: News Media Complicity in the UFO Cover-up is an investigation into whether some of America's most influential news organizations, many of which have maintained close ties to the U.S. intelligence community, have willingly suppressed full and accurate news coverage of the UFO phenomenon for a variety of national-security reasons. After a case study of news coverage about UFO encounters at Montana nuclear-missile facilities, Hansen reveals the remarkable and persistent difference in UFO-related news coverage exhibited by local and national news organizations. The author then reviews the history of censorship and propaganda during the twentieth century. He explains how and why elite news organizations work closely with government agencies during times of national crisis, and reviews the evidence for such media-government collusion over the course of the half-century-long UFO controversy.

I read Hansen's book on this subject. Very well documented.

The most salient point that I took away from the book was the fact that the most successful publication at marginalizing the UFO subject, the National Inquirer, was started by a former OSS psychological warfare officer.

When you bring up UFO's around friends and family, and they roll their eyes, chuckle, etc. - that is the trophy victory dance of CIA success!

The OSS, of course, is the predecessor of the CIA.
