- THE UNEXPLAINED UFO CASES FROM THE PROJECT BLUE BOOK FILES
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- In January, 1974, I visited the U.S. Air Force Archives at Maxwell AFB,
- Montgomery, Ala., to review the files of Project Blue Book as the first step
- toward writing a book on the subject.
-
- In a full week, I read all the "unexplained" cases in the original files and
- made extensive notes, including the names and other identifying information on
- all witnesses where given. The cooperation of the staff of the Archives was
- excellent, and no restrictions were placed on my work.
-
- A few months later, the files were withdrawn from public view so they could be
- prepared for transfer to the National Archives in Washington, D.C. This
- process involved making a xerox copy of almost 30 file drawers of material,
- blacking out the names and other identifiers of all witnesses, and then
- microfilming the censored xerox copy. The microfilm has been available to the
- public at the National Archives since 1976. The original Project Blue Book
- files remain under lock and key at the Archives.
-
- On almost every page of the 12,000+ case files, there are big black marks
- where information that could be used to cross-check Project Blue Book's
- controversial work has been censored.
-
- This includes the names of witnesses to widely-publicized cases, and even
- names in newspaper clippings!
-
- As it was perfectly legal for me to copy witness' names when I visited the Air
- Force Archives, those names can be found in this report of 585 (less 13
- missing) unexplained cases. And since the Privacy Act, which motivated the
- Air Force to censor the files in the first place, does not apply to reporters
- or anyone else outside the Government, they can be used as the reader pleases.
-
- Inasmuch as the book I planned to write has never progressed beyond the
- manuscript stage, I see no reason to keep this information under wraps any
- longer. Perhaps it will encourage others to re-investigate cases and make the
- results known.
-
- "Unidentified" says a great deal...and it says almost nothing.
-
- Probably the most controversial aspect of the entire Air Force investigation
- of UFOs was its handling of individual cases.
-
- The means by.which one case was determined to be "identified" and another
- "unidentified" has no doubt fueled more arguments about Project Blue Book than
- anything else it did.
-
- For many years, Blue Book's most vocal opponents have insisted that the
- standards by which cases were allegedly explained were grossly unscientific.
- Blue Book's goal, according to those who held it low esteem, was to attach
- some explanation to every case, regardless of logic or common sense. Examples
- of Blue Book saying a violently maneuvering disc was an aircraft, or of
- blaming a puzzling radar tracking on a supposedly malfunctioning radar set
- which it never bothered to check out, are numerous in the popular UFO
- literature.
-
- And they are even more numerous in the files of Project Blue Book. The urgency
- with which Blue Book officials tagged answers onto cases without having done
- the proper investigation is obvious, though not proven. But if the Air Force
- was so eager to label cases "identified", despite the lack of supporting
- evidence, then those few cases which it labeled "unidentified" presumably
- withstood every attempt to apply every other kind of label. And so it may be
- that those cases are truly unidentifiable in familiar terms.
-
- Indeed, the Air Force defines "unidentifiable" cases as those which
- "apparently contain all pertinent data necessary to suggest a valid hypothesis
- concerning the lack of explanation of the report, but the description of the
- object or its motion cannot be correlated with any known object or
- phenomenon."
-
- To meet such criteria, a report must obviously come from a reputable source,
- and it must not bear any resemblance to airplanes, balloons, helicopters,
- spacecraft, birds, clouds, stars, planets, meteors, comets, electrical
- phenomena, or anything else known to frequent the air, the sky, or nearby
- space.
-
- Unfortunately, the Air Force failed to stick to its own rules. Some of the
- "unidentifiable" cases most certainly can be correlated with known objects or
- phenomena. But most of them cannot. Moreover, many of the so-called
- "identified" cases cannot honestly be so correlated. But we are primarily
- concerned here with those cases which Project Blue Book openly admits it
- tried to explain and failed.
-
- The amount of detail in these cases varies enormously. Some cases -
- frequently those which were well publicized at the time of the event - contain
- considerable information, while others are vague and seriously incomplete.
- Project Blue Book generally placed the blame for such incompleteness on the
- witnesses, but it should take its own share of the responsibility. 'In
- thousands of cases, there is no completed questionnaire in the Project files,
- nor even any indication that one was sent to the witness. And in most of the
- instances where a questionnaire was filled out, it was never followed up to
- get more complete answers to questions which the witnesses failed to deal with
- properly. For much of the life of Project Blue Book and its predecessors,
- there was no satisfactory.questionnaire at all. And one of those used for a
- lengthy period was so badly organized that a witness should not be held to
- blame for giving incomplete answers.
-
- Yet, despite all the roadblocks, many reports are sufficiently complete to
- tell a pretty clear story of a puzzling experience. With this data now
- available, anyone can look at Project Blue Book's "unidentified" UFO reports
- and make up his own mind.
