Once-Classified UFO Files Now Searchable Online

The truth is out there … well, a large portion of the truth, anyway.

Approximately 130,000 pages of files from an official 22-year Air Force UFO study, known as Project Blue Book, are finally available to the public for free online.

Project Blue Book began in 1947 under the name Project Sign. It evolved into Project Grudge, and then finally took the name Blue Book in 1952. After 22 years of official investigations of thousands of UFO reports, the project was terminated in 1969.

Of the 12,618 sightings considered under Blue Book, 701 have remained “unidentified” — suggesting to UFO researchers the possibility that those incidents could have involved ETs, or extraterrestrials. Others will say that those incidents are purely inconclusive.

The final conclusions of Project Blue Book were:

1) No UFO reported, investigated and evaluated by the Air Force has ever given any indication of threat to our national security

“When you use the Freedom of Information Act and see the documents that come from outside of the Blue Book system, past the 1969 closure of Blue Book, you look at those things and you realize there is a much bigger picture here — UFOs are not explainable like they wanted to say. This is something very serious — it’s a big threat, and something that the government and military still take seriously, even to this day.”

Echoing Greenewald’s contention of an ongoing high-level interest in UFOs is former Air Force Col. Charles Halt, who has accused the U.S. government of a UFO coverup. Halt was one of numerous eyewitnesses to several UFO-related events in 1980 at dual military bases in the U.K. — RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge — in the Rendlesham Forest.

“I’m firmly convinced there’s an agency and an effort to suppress,” Halt told an audience in 2012 at the Smithsonian-affiliated National Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas.

“I’ve heard many people say that it’s time for the government to appoint an agency to investigate. Folks, there is an agency, a very close-held, compartmentalized agency that’s been investigating this for years, and there’s a very active role played by many of our intelligence agencies that probably don’t even know the details of what happens once they collect the data and forward it. It’s kind of scary, isn’t it?”

Indeed.
