# The Utah UFO Display: A Scientist's Report

Frank B. Salisbury, 1974. _Devin-Adair_.

A Utah State University plant physiologist's compilation of Uintah Basin UFO reports collected by the Roosevelt teacher Joseph "Junior" Hicks from the 1950s and 1960s. A revised edition with Hicks appeared in 2010 (Cedar Fort) and was reissued in 2023. Shows that the Basin had a UFO reputation decades before the ranch did.
