AFAIK, the Skywatch film nor his book has ever materialized. It appears he ran into the common roadblock...

Cosmic conspiracy: six decades of government UFO coverups

Abstract:

Todd Zechel and Citizens Against UFO Secrecy took on the U.S. government in the 1970s to seek the release of UFO related documents. Zechel used the Freedom of Information Act to sue for records related to UFO witnesses and incidents.

This is the fourth in a six-part series on alleged UFO-related government cover-ups. This segment covers the 1970s. Todd Zechel knows how David felt the day he marched out to take on Goliath. Early in 1978, in otherwise out-of-the way Prairie due Sac, Wisconsin, Zechel help found Citizens Against UFO Secrecy, or CAUS. The group's mandate: to take on teh behemoth of the U.S. government, which had kept thousands of documents relevant to UFO researchers under lock and key for years.

In the past, getting to those documents had been virtually impossible. For the most part, they were buried within a paper labyrinth of agencies within agencies, each employing its own unique form of "bureauspeak" and filing. What was an "unidentified flying object" in one agency might be an "incident report" or "air space violation" in another. The reports might be in the form of a carbon copy, microfilm, or rapidly degrading thermal fax paper, barely legible in the original. Other files were lost or routinely destroyed on a regular basis.

The euphoria was not misplaced. As the Seventies unfurled, most UFOlogists felt that ;all they needed in the battle against the governmental Goliath was one good slingshot. And now that slingshot, in the form of the newly enacted Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA, was here.

....

As far as the UFO community is concerned, the work of CAUS, Zechelstyle, remains undone. These days, says Todd, "getting any kind of document out of the government is a lengthy, time-consuming process. First, they consider the FOIA an annoyance; after all, they're understaffed and saddled with budget constraints. Second, the nature of any government is to control the flow of information."
