A compendium of reports from the public files of Project Blue Book,
the largest official Air Force study of UFOs. Here are dozens of
official summaries, memoranda and witness statements about the most
interesting cases the Air Force studied, including Kenneth Arnold,
Lonnie Zamora, Thomas Mantell, the Lubbock Lights and the Washington
D.C. flap of 1952. Editor Brad Steiger, who authored several other UFO
books, provides analysis (sometimes irrelevant). Also included are
various reports sponsored by the government on how to classify and
deal with the UFO phenomenon, conclusions of Project Sign and Project
Grudge and a list of Blue Book "unknowns." Appendixes, references and
lists abound. Although this book offers no new insights about UFOs
themselves; it is packed with interesting historical material about
the U.S. Government's foray into the field. Although this book
contains only a fraction of the Blue Book archives, it is well worth
the low paperback price.
FROM THE BOOK JACKET
THE WHITEWASH IS OVER!!!
THE TOP SECRET FINDINGS ON UFOs ARE FINALLY
REVEALED
Why the cover-up?
While the United States Air Force was offering the American
people pat denials that UFOs were "serious business," it was
conducting intesive, highly secret inquiries into all UFO
reports.
These inquiries were carried out by responsible Air Force
personnel and respected civilian scientists.
When their conclusions did not support the official position, the
findings were suppressed.
Now, the secret findings of Product Sign, Project Grudge, Special
report #14, and Project Blue Book are revealed in this explosive
and significant document!
EXAMINE IT AND DECIDE FOR YOURSELF
...But you may not be able to dismiss the riveting testimony of
scientists, the military, pilots, and citizens all over the
country who have witnessed UFOs!
