What is the name of the secret US Air Force program that investigates UFOs are called?

Answer 1

The former US Airforce program for the investigation of UFO and Unexplained Phenomena was called Project Blue Book and later for a short time Project Grudge. Neither program is currently in operation and the official UASF stance on UFO and related phenomena is found in the following statement as found in USAF Fact Sheet 95-03: From 1947 to 1969, the Air Force investigated Unidentified Flying Objects under Project Blue Book. The project, headquartered at Wright-Paterson Air Forse Base, Ohio, was terminated 17 December 1969. Of a total of 12,618 sightings reported to Project Blue Book, 701 remained 'unidentified.'The decision to discontinue UFO investigations was based on an evaluation of a report prepared by the University of Colorado entitled, Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects: a review of the University of Colorado's report by the National Academy of Sciences, previous UFO studies and Air Force experience investigating UFO reports during 1940 to 1969. As a result of these investigations, studies and experience gained from investigating UFO reports since 1948, the conclusions of Project Blue Book were: # No UFO reported, investigated, and evaluated by the Air Force has ever given any indication of threat to our national security. # There has been no evidence submitted to or discovered by the Air Force that sightings categorized as "unidentified" represent technological developments or principles beyond the range of present day scientific knowledge. # There has been no evidence indicating the sightings categorized as "unidentified" are extraterrestrial vehicles. With the termination of Project Blue Book, the Air Force regulation establishing and controlling the program for investigating and analyzing UFOs was rescinded. Documentation regarding the former Blue Book investigation was permanently transferred to the Modern Military Branch, National Archives and Records Service, and is available for public review and analysis. Since the termination of Project Blue Book, nothing has occurred that would support a resumption of UFO investigations by the Air Force. There are a number of universities and professional scientific organizations that have considered UFO phenomena during periodic meetings and seminars. A list of private organizations interested in aerial phenomena may be found in "Encyclopaedia of Associations", published by Gale Research. Interest in and timely review of UFO reports by private groups ensures that sound evidence is not overlooked by the scientific community. Persons wishing to report UFO sightings should be advised to contact local law enforcement agencies.The USAF does not currently investigate UFO's, unidentified flying phenomena of any type, or reports of extraterrestrial contact.
