UFO FACT

On December 
17, 1969 
the Secretary 
of the 
Air 
Force
announced the 
termination of 
Project Blue 
Book, the 
Air Force
program for 
the investigation 
of UFOs.
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; past 
UFO studies; 
and Air
Force experience 
investigating UFO 
reports …

There are 
a number of universities 
and professional
scientific organizations 
such as the American Association for
the Advancement of Science, 
which have 
considered UFO
phenomena during periodic meetings and seminars. In addition,
a list 
of private 
organizations interested 
in aerial 
phenomena
may be found in Gale&#39;s Encyclopedia 
of Associations 
 Edition 8,_
Vol I, 
pp. 432-3!. 
Such timely review of the situation 
by
private groups 
insures that 
sound evidence 
will not 
be over-
looked by 
the scientific 
community.
