David F. Webb

 

David F. Webb was even harder to find information on though I did find a photo from a 1977 MUFON Conference paper. Not great quality but...

And a BIG thank you to Barry Greenwood who took some photos of Webb for me and Mark Rodheiger at CUFOS for asking Barry on my behalf.

Webb was active in Ufology from1960 and was a member of APRO for some 15 years.  During the 1960s Webb was also a member of NICAP before, in January, 1974, he joined MUFON. In 1977 he was co-chairman (along with Ted Bloecher) of MUFON's Humanoid Study Group dealing with reports and overseas correspondence on the subject.

Webb also held the position of MUFON Eastern Regional Director, State Director for New Hampshire and a member of the Board of directors.  In 1974 he had been State Director for Massachussettes. A busy man, Webb was also an investigator with CUFOS  and along with the Center updated and revised the paper 1973 -Year of the Humanoids which was a compilation and analysis of the Autumn, 1973 wave of humanoid reports.




Along with Bloecher, Webb deserves a great deal more recognition for this work and it is a pity he never wrote a book about this ground-breaking work. As with Bloecher, Webb seems to have been happy with getting on with the work and avoiding too much limelight.
