Publisher's Synopsis
Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, while publicly dismissing the existence of UFOs, the United States Air Force was engaged in a secret programme of evaluating every report of unidentified flying objects. Under the code name, Project Blue Book, the Air Force analysed over 13,000 incidents. The goal of this enterprise was threefold: To determine the cause for each UFO sighting, to assess the security threat for each incident and to determine how the United States could obtain or create the technology used by UFOs. This book, based on secret files obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, includes accounts of seven of the most important USAF enquiries - among them the story of the night the White House was buzzed by UFOs, the mystery of the Lubbock Lights, and the full story of Captain Mantell.
