Projects Sign, Grudge and Blue Book

Two months after the incident at Roswell the United States Air Force began to study UFOs, originally nick-named "Project Saucer" it was soon re-named Project Sign.
The headquarters of Project Sign were located at the Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton , Ohio - reputed to be location where the debris etc...from the
Roswell Incident was taken. Some members of Project Sign produced a report "Estimate of the Situation" which they sent, eventually, to the top command at the Pentagon.
General Hoyt S. Vandenberg ( a member of Majestic-12.) designated this report "Top Secret" but later it was rejected by the Pentagon. Project Sign was obviously having problems - internal disagreements etc..- and in order to resolve these problems the Air Force brought in, amongst others, Dr. Donald Menzel.
Menzel was a professor of astronomy at Harvard University and apparently to him all UFO reports were hoaxes, delusions or mirages. He had a massive influence and the orthodox scientific community stood firm against more sympathetic views regarding UFOs.
However, it later came to light that Menzel had strong associations with the CIA and the NSA, had spent time in New Mexico in 1947/48 and was, reputedly, a member of Majestic-12.
Project Sign's last report (February 1949) stated that 20 per cent of UFO reports were unexplained and recommended a more fuller investigation.

Project Grudge was then brought into being - a completely skeptical and biased group of people. Military personnel reports were always favored over reports from civilian or the more outspoken members of the scientific community and eventually the members of Project Grudge recommended a reduction in time, money and personnel utilized in the investigation of UFO reports.


The Fort Monmouth Incident.

However perhaps one event on 10th September 1951 sealed the fate of Project Grudge more than any other - the detection of a UFO over a US Army base at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. A bright glowing blip suddenly flashed on the radar screens, appearing to be 11,000 metres to the southeast of Fort Monmouth - it traveled too quickly to be automatically followed by the radar and the operator had to switch to manual control. The object finally disappeared at a distance of 13,000 metres - apparently traveling at 1,100 k/ph - even the fastest jets, at that time, did not travel at that kind of speed.
Twenty five minutes later a T-33 jet, piloted by Lt. Wilbert S. Rogers in the vicinity of the base, chased an object traveling at 1,400 k/ph - the object was "silver-colored, perfectly round and flat". Rogers and his passenger dived at the object from 6,000 metres but could not catch it. They observed it cover a distance of 30 kilometers, bank into a 120-degree turn and disappear out to sea.
The following day two more high speed UFOs were tracked by Fort Monmouth radar - due to overcast skies no visual observations were made.
Major General Charles Cabell, Head of Air Force Intelligence at the Pentagon, ordered a full investigation into the event - his orders reaching Lt. Gerry Cummings (new) Director of Project Grudge.
Cummings was surprised to find that others within Project Grudge had solved the case - without even leaving their desks. According to their report " the whole outfit (Fort Monmouth) were a bunch of young, impressionable kids and the T-33 crew had seen a reflection".
Cummings immediately opened his own investigation, interviewing everyone involved in the event at Fort Monmouth including the T-33's pilot and passenger, who were convinced the UFO was far from a reflection and were certain that it was "intelligently controlled".

The T-33 jet fighter was regarded as extremely fast in the 1950'3 - but not fast enough to catch the UFOs which appeared on radar at Fort Monmouth


After the true facts were reported to Cabell, he asked how such investigations were handled in general by Grudge. Cummings replied ,"Every report is taken as a huge joke. General Harold Watson had ordered them to degrade the quality of all reports and to think up new and original explanations that had not been sent to Washington before".
Cabell was enraged, shouting "I've been lied to. I want open minds, anyone without an open mind can get out of Grudge now." Despite ordering Cummings to re-organize - Project Grudge had failed.
In 1952 the U.S. Air Force set up Project Blue Book (to replace Project Grudge) with a high profile - based at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The first chief of Blue Book was Edward Ruppelt of Air Force Intelligence who, it appears, was open-minded regarding UFOs. Ruppelt favoured new scientific methods, appointing Dr. Allen J. Hynek as chief scientific advisor. Project Blue Book was assigned a higher security classification than Grudge and employed more staff, whilst channels were established for members of the military to report their own sightings. Although all reports could not be investigated, high priority cases were routinely investigated in person for the first time.
Ruppelt claimed to have coined the term "Unidentified Flying Object" in order to deflect some of the controversy and ridicule associated with the term "Flying Saucer".
Ruppelt's leadership of Blue Book lasted less than two years when the powers that be resorted to precedent - where UFOs were concerned secrecy was the best policy. This return to old attitudes was ushered in by an event that resulted in the largest Pentagon press conference since World War 11.
Captain Edward J. Ruppelt - tried to turn Project Blue Book into a serious investigative agency - only to be replaced after two years.

The Washington Sightings

At 11-40p.m. on 19th July 1952 air traffic control at Washington National Airport picked up a number of blips on radarscopes - the objects were about 40 kilometers to the southwest and traveling at 170 k/ph.
Over the hours that followed a number of unidentified objects were detected by radar, some of which were visually confirmed by air crew and observers on the ground.
At 3-00a.m. Newcastle Air Force base (Delaware) sent two F-94 Interceptors to investigate the objects but they came across nothing and returned to base. However, the UFOs almost immediately returned, being tracked until 5-30a.m.
On the evening of 26th July a National Airlines pilot observed several UFOs at a much higher altitude than his plane - he described them as " like the glow of a cigarette". Once again the objects were tracked by radar and were seen by both ground observers and air crews.
At 1-00p.m., two F-94s were dispatched from Newcastle - one of the pilots, Lt. William Patterson, did establish visual contact with the objects. After "swooping in" on his plane, the UFOs flew away at high speed.

Washington 

The scene of an incredible UFO event in 1952.


This event captured newspaper headlines, being observed by many observers - civil and military, in the air and on the ground. The Pentagon's switchboard received so many calls that routine communications were affected.
The seriousness of the Washington event prompted the CIA into action, concerned about the vast number of reports and apprehension that the situation could cause mass hysteria. The CIA set up "The Robertson Panel" - named after it's chairman Harold P. Robertson, physicist and CIA employee. Amongst other things, the Robertson Panel recommended the monitoring of civilian UFO investigation groups as necessary and the manipulation of the media regarding UFO reports.

Sadly, after Ruppelt left Project Blue Book, under-funding and lack of staff resulted on poor investigation and analysis of UFO reports and information. In it's twenty year existence, Blue Book calculated that 5 per cent of cases were unsolved - during Ruppelt's years that figure was 20 percent - food for thought regarding open-mindedness. In fact, in it's later years Project Blue Book was more akin to Project Grudge.

One long-lasting and positive aspect to result from the activities of Project Blue Book etc. was the immergence of J. Allen Hynek - an eminent astronomer who was initially a UFO skeptic. Hynek was convinced that not all UFO reports were hoaxes or could easily be explained - he felt they were worth investigating properly. Hynek also became frustrated with the lack of open-minded people involved in Project Blue Book etc.. and made several public criticisms of Project Blue Book.
When Blue Book was closed in 1969, Hynek set up "The Center for UFO Studies" - based in Illinois the center investigates in the highest of scientific and objective manners.
Following Hynek's death in 1986, the centre was re-named " The J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies".

Dr. Allen Hynek - an eminent scientist who was initially a skeptic but later became "The father of modern UFOlogy".


The inauguration of Project Blue Book


Blue Book determined that this photo - taken by 14 year old Alan Smith in 1965 - was a hoax. However when subjected to computer analysis in 1986 it proved to be "an extraordinary flying craft of large dimensions".

Project Blue Book "Unknowns"

During 20 years of existence Project Blue Book logged 12,618 reports - 701 remained unsolved.
 
This list of 701 UFO reports represents all of the "unexplained" sightings recorded by the Air Force's Project Blue Book, a seventeen year investigation. The list provides the dates, locations, and Blue Book case numbers for the incidents.
