From: jan@cyberzone.net (Jan Aldrich) Date: Mon, 30 Jun 1997 12:55:49 -0800 Subject: Project Sign Action Slip |
A copy of the Project "Sign" Action Slip was found on the Project Sign microfilm which is not the be confused with the Project Blue Book microfilms. There were originally nine microfilm rolls containing Project Sign case files and summary sheets. The Project Sign material was microfilmed in 1948-9 to be sent to scientists and other consultants. Some files on the Project Sign microfilms do not survive in the Project Blue Book files. Today only four of these rolls of the Project Sign microfilm are known to survive. The microfilm was given to Dr. Herbert Strentz by Lt. Col. Hector Quintaninlla. Dr. Strentz used these and other material in a PhD disertation on the press and UFOs at the University of Colorado contemporary with the Condon Committee Dr. Strentz finally turned the microfilms over to Barry Greenwood. The Action Slips themselves were used by Project Sign personnel to track the steps in the investigation of a UFO report or as a routing slip to various agencies inside and outside of Wright-Patterson AFB during the period of 1948-49.

NOTE: Atomic Research is involved. There was research into the possibility of an atomic powered aircraft. The 1947 Essential Elements of Information (EEI) sent to Europe by Wright Field asked about the possible of an atomic powered aircraft. (EEI are main intelligence goals.) I do not know what the following are McBee MCIAXO MCIAO MCI I assume MCI is AMC, Intelligence. So other symbols are branches. This form does not seem to come into use until mid-1948. Jan Aldrich Project 1947 > I assume MCI is AMC, Intelligence. So other symbols are branches. That's correct, Jan. MCI stands for Intelligence at AMC at Wright-Pat. MCIAO was Operations, and MCIAXO was Special Operations or Projects. The designator for Project Sign itself was MCIAXO-3. All this courtesy of Mike Swords' research. Mark Rodeghier CUFOS
