PROJECT BLUE BOOK Edited by Brad Steiger (1976) Price: $5.99 Order From: Area 51 Research Center, 702-227-1818 Info at: http://www.ufomind.com/catalog/b/bluebook/ 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!
