Subject: Re: Edward AFB UFO/Gordon Cooper's Account

Re:  Jerry Cohen's Oberg/Cooper Article

I asked Barry Greenwood about this case; he has a USAF
film from Edwards AFB in 1957 which is probably the film
referred to by Cooper.  It shows a white object which
is rather unremarkable in the distance.  No landing.

The Project Blue Book photographs and films at the National
Archives are contained in a separate entry RG 341
Entry 63D (I believe).  The description says that
the Entry contains the photographs on the Project
Blue Book microfilm and text records some of which
were NOT microfilmed.  No doubt here are some of
Project Blue Book's "missing cases".

I tried to view this Entry.  When I put in my
request, there were no archivists present in the
modern military office, so I did not have my
request countersigned by an archivist.  The clerk
reviewed my request which was filled out correctly,
and submitted it.  However, one of the pages came
to me shortly after and said my request was denied
due to the fact the items were available on microfilm
in the reading room.  I protested that the entry
description indicated text material that was not
microfilmed was contained in the entry.  He told me
that an archivist's authorization was still required.
As it was Friday afternoon, this was unlikely until
Monday.  In any case I was too worn out from long all
day sessions at the Archives and then 2-4 hours copying
material at Richard Hall's and others' homes.  So I
did not pursue it.  I wish I had.

I have tried to get several people in the Washington, DC
area who are aiding Project 1947 to go to the Archives.
However, the College Park facility is out of the way.
And the Archives seem to be intimidating to people who have
not done any research since high school or college.

Hopefully, I will get back there soon.  There were
significant new releases of material to the public in
November.  One archivist told us that a number of FOIA
requests would be satisfied by these releases, but there
is so much material we should come and look for ourselves
for other items of interest.
