UFO Reports Declassified And Get Free Access Online
On January 12, 2015, UFO enthusiast John Greenewald posted the Blue Book files, Air Force’s files on UFO sightings and investigations. The release also included files on Blue Book’s 1940s-era predecessors, Project Sign and Project Grudge. The reports can be accessed on his online database, The Black Vault.
Project Blue Book was the name that was given to the official investigation by the United States military to determine what the Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) phenomena was.
By the time Project Blue Book ended, it had collected 12,618 UFO reports. The decision to discontinue UFO investigations was based on an evaluation of a report prepared by the University of Colorado entitled, “Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects;” a review of the University of Colorado’s report by the National Academy of Sciences; previous UFO studies and Air Force experience investigating UFO reports during 1940 to 1969.
