Colonel, USAF Chief, Community Relations Office of I tion The investigation or unidentified flying objects reported 1n the skies over the United States is the responsibility of the Air Porce. The name or this project is Blue Book. A copy, ot tb1a report is at In 16 yea~a of investigating over 9000 reports o( unidentified flying objects, the evidence has proved beyond reasonable doubt that all reported aerial phenomena have been objects either created and aent aloft by man, generated by atmospheric conditions, or caused by celestial bodies or the residue of meteoric activity. There has never been any evidence that UPOs reported . to the Air Porce represented extraterrestrial vehicles. Np such object reported to the Air Force has given any indication or a threat to the United States nor has any evidence been presented that any unidentified flying object exhibited characteristics c~yond the scope or current technical or scientific knowledge. Air Porce will continue to investigate all reports of unusual aerial phenomena over the United States. The evaluations and conclusions reached by the Air Force will be released to the public.
