1994: A Die-Hard Issue: CIA’s Role in the Study of UFOs, 1947-90

Gerald K. Haines An extraordinary 95 percent of all Americans have at least heard or read something about Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), and 57 percent believe they are real. (1) Former US Presidents Carter and Reagan claim to have seen a UFO. UFOlogists–a neologism for UFO buffs–and private UFO organizations are found throughout the United States. Many are convinced that the US Government, and particularly CIA, are engaged in a massive conspiracy and coverup of the issue. The idea that CIA has secretly concealed its research into UFOs has been a major theme of UFO buffs since the modern UFO phenomena emerged in the late 1940s. (2) In late 1993, after being pressured by UFOlogists for the release of additional CIA information on UFOs, […] Read More

The Condon Report: Introduction The “Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects” (Condon & Gillmor 1969; often referred to as the “Condon Report”) presents the findings of the Colorado Project regarding a scientific study of unidentified flying objects. It remains the most influential public document concerning the current scientific status of the UFO issue. Following is a short chronology of events that led to the Air Force contract with the University of Colorado to initiate the study. This extract is from: “An Analysis of the Condon Report on the Colorado UFO Project,” by P.A. Sturrock, Center for Space Science and Astrophysics, Stanford University. Dr. Sturrock’s analysis is highly recommended as a comprehensive introduction to the text. Additionally, we have included many relevant links that offer […] Read More

2001: The Case for Extraterrestrial UFOs

While most sights described as UFOs turn out to be misidentified known natural and artificial phenomena, many hundreds do not. It is these that form the core of the UFO mystery. That UFOs constitute a distinct category of describable sights is based on hundreds of highly detailed and consistent descriptions by professionals (especially airline and military pilots) of their close-up, broad daylight observations of unique flying machines. This is supported by the permanent files of the U. S. Air Force‘s Project Blue Book UFO investigation (1948-1969). Of 572 cases admittedly unidentified (and not simply lacking sufficient information), 15% (85) are from military pilots, most of them the USAF’s own. Adding to them the unexplained sightings by commercial airline and professional test pilots, the figure […] Read More

Heretic Among Heretics: Jacques Vallee Interview

Conspire.com PART 1 Jacques Vallee hesitated before agreeing to be interviewed about the subject for which he’s most famous: UFOs. It’s not that he’s reluctant to discuss the topic or tussle with the skeptics. After all, he’s written close to a dozen books on UFOs, several of them best-sellers, analyzing a notoriously ethereal subject as a hard-headed physical scientist, folklorist, and sociologist. He believes there is more than enough solid evidence to make a compelling case for the existence of UFOs, and he doesn’t shy away from honest debate. It’s the hard-core believers who give Vallee pause. Anyone who has observed the semi-academic cockpit known as “UFOlogy” knows that close encounters of the UFO expert kind shed little light and much heat, dogma and […] Read More

Firefighters and UFOs

Jim Hickman As many of you know, I have been a firefighter for over 20 years. In this report I have several incidents involving Firefighters and UFO’s. The following reports come from the Project Bluebook’s 701 unknowns and the Magonia database compiled by Jacques Vallee. Also, I recently had a chance to re-read a chapter in an old fire science textbook I had lying around the house, it’s called, A Fire Officer’s Guide to Disaster Control by William M. Kramer and Charles W. Bahme. It is copyright (c) 1992 by Fire Engineering Books & Videos. First, on May 28, 1952; Albuquerque, New Mexico, 1:45-2:40 p.m. Witnesses: two city fire department employees. Two circular objects–one shiny silver and the other orange or light brown– were […] Read More

1956: The Report On Unidentified Flying Objects

By Capt. Edward J. Ruppelt    The following excerpts are taken from Capt. Edward J. Ruppelt’s book, The Report On Unidentified Flying Objects, first published in 1956.   Capt. Ruppelt was Chief of the Air Force’s “Project Blue Book” from 1951 to Sept. 1953, an operation of the “Air Technical Intelligence Center” (ATIC). On 21 May 1951, the United States Air Force established ATIC as a field activity of the Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence. Foreword  This is a book about unidentified flying objects – UFOs – flying saucers.” It is actually more than a book; it is a report because it is the first time that anyone, either military or civilian, has brought together in one document all the facts about this […] Read More
