Subject: Current-Encouinters: US Airforce's Bad Rap in

Greetings, this Sunday morning,

The evidence is becoming clearer by the day that the Air Force
got a bad rap regarding the UFO issue in the early days. Maybe if
we can make this well-known they might try to be more open with
the facts as time goes on.

The evidence is clear. Base commanders took their pilots' reports
seriously. Air Force people and project Sign had a damned good
reason to send the Top Secret Estimate and later reports to the
"top". Col. It appears that McCoy was probably an associate
member of NICAP because he attended a meeting at NICAP HQ circa
1958 and this is all on audio tape. He took the issue very
seriously and claimed they were doing the best job they could. It
also appears that the Air Force got bad advise from the
scientific community (even Hynek in the early days). One of
Project Sign's advisers, George Valley (Scientific Advisory
Board) said he looked at the reports and could explain 95% of
them. The rest he said were considered lies!!!

Each time the Air Force (early days, now) asked scientists to
advise them, they were told it was all nonsense, truly the "Dark
Ages" which set the stage for the entire Air Force UFO
involvement. Even Gen. Vandenburg, who took the "heat" for
batting down the "Estimate" had advsers that were probably
similar to people like G. Valley, and simply took their advise.

The more we dig, the more we find. If we could just get into the
Navy UFO files...........
