Subject: Projects Sign & Bluebook: Research Update


Greetings to UFO Update Contributors,

The official history of Operation Paperclip (aka Project
Paperclip), formerly known as Operation Overcast before it was
compromised, has been obtained by Wendy Connors and Michael
Hall. These files, containing approximately 2000+ documents, are
now housed at the Project SIGN Research Center Archives and have
not been circulated to the public before this time. These
documents detail the exploitation of German scientist's and
technicians to the United States at the end of WW II and how
they were integrated into this nations scientific resources.

Although these documents do not contain information relating
directly to unidentified flying objects, they are important to
ufologists for several reasons. First, these documents show what
each scientist was working on while at Wright Field
(Wright-Patterson AFB) and the subsequent release of many of
these scientists to assist various corporations in the U. S. in
regards to aeronautics, etc. Secondly, the history gives a
detailed look at the lack of manpower, equipment and funding for
research following the transition from a wartime based economy
to that of a peace time economy and the inherent difficulties
sustained by the Air Force during this time. Third, these
documents give an insight into the men and organization which
would later take on the first official investigation of
unidentified flying objects under Project SIGN. Project SIGN
being the first official UFO investigation and followed by
Projects Grudge and Blue Book in subsequent years. Lastly, these
documents provide a look into many of the various projects being
conducted by both the military and the U.S. corporations
contracted in the fields of aeronautics.

At this time no documentation within these histories has lead to
concrete factuality of the U.S. military being involved in
advanced low aspect ratio aircraft of a lenticular or
disc-shaped design beyond the capablities of technology inherent
for the times, nor in the factuality of the German Third Reich
having such advanced aircraft as a conventional flying saucer as
envisioned and understood by the majority in the field of
ufology. However, these documents, as well as others recently
obtained, do show that the limited funding available for
research and development during the 1946-1949 time period were
used primarily in jet engine technology and rocket technology.

As time permits many of the most important documents will be
made available to researchers. Due to cost factors involved we
ask that those researchers who are sent documents to please
forward copies to other researchers in order to gain the widest
distribution possible.

Thank you,

Wendy Connors and Michael Hall
