Book . Normally eacn report is written on or near the last of each 100nth and
includes all project activities for that month . This procedure has not been
followed during the montha of June, July, August, September and October due
to an extremely heavy workload caused by an increase in reports. The proce-
dure of listing all reported sightings will a l so be eliminated in this repo r~
since gg6 reports were received during the period covered by thia report and

STATUS OF PROJECT BLUE BOOK

I. OVERALL STATUS
The period since the last status report of this project was published
(Project Blue Book Status Report #7, 31 Kay 1952) has produced a volume of
reports exceeding the total number of reports received in the period 1947 to
31 Dec 51. For the month of Jul 52, the total was over 440 reports . During
the period 1 Jun 52 to 31 Oct 52, the period covered ~ ~his status report,
866 reports have been received, evaluated, cross-indexed and filed. This
total of SS6 represents 149 more reports than had been received during the
previous five-year period this project has been in existance. It should be
noted ~hat these reports are those coming through official channels to ATIC
and do not include the approximately SOO letters received f rom the public
during thie period.
A noticeable increase in reports started in Jun 52 and reached a peak
on 2lli Jul 52 when 43 reports were received (see Appendix I). lluch of the
increased volume of reports can be accredited to the widespread publicity
given by Life, Time, Look and many other magazines and ne.vapapers . One no-
ticeable characteristic of the reports is that in general the quality has
improved, a factor which resulted from the distribution of Air Force Letter
200-5, Subject: •Reporting of Unidentified Flying Objects•, and to wide-
spread briefings given by Project Blue Book briefing teams .
In Jul 52 the workload of project personnel had risen to the point that
the number of personnel was increased to a total of four officers, two air-
men, and two secretaries, For a period of 45 days 1 a weather officer ·nas on
TDY to the project.
All reports received were screened and evaluated as soon as possible
after they were r eceived. A breakdown as to the evaluations of t he reports
is given below. The categories used in the evaluation of reports are as
follows:
A. Unknown

These are report,s that contain relatively enough data to oval.-

uate, but cannot be associated with a~ known phenomenon or object. There is
a possibility that some of these reported objects or phenomena in this cate-
gory could be identified if more background data on balloon tracks, aircraft
movements, etc,, were available.

B. Insufficient Data
This category represents reports which do not contain enough
data to evaluate. A great many o£ the cases are due to poor reporting on the

part of the reporting agency, All cases where ther e is only a single observer,
unless his or her reliability is unquestionable, are put in this category,
c. Aircraft
This category of reports varies from those reports of pbject s that
were definitely proven to be aircran to those that were possibly aircraft, In
evaluating reports as aircraft, a great deal of importance is put on an;y com-
ments by the reporting officer about local air traffic. AnOther criterion is
the el evation of the reported object. It has been found that if an observer sees
an aircraft above a 60° angle from the horizon and is in a relatively quiet lo-
cation, be can hear the sound of the aircraft, Thus all reports of moving
lights at night or "shiny" objects in the daytime, moving at moder ately fast
speeds (i, e. , in view for 2-5 minutes), and observed below 60° could be aircraft
and are evaluated as a i rcraft, Conversely, an;y object that passes directly over;
or within }0° of the zenith of an observer, at moderately fast speeds and i f no
sound is heard, is not likely to be an aircraft.
D. Balloons
Several criteria are used to determine whether a reported object
was or possibl y was a balloon. Objects that are reported to hover or move very
slOlfly could be balloons . In this type of report, the times are checked, All
weather balloons in the United States are launched at; 0300Z, 0900Z1 1500Z and
2100Z . If an object is reported near a bslloon launch s1 te within an hour after
these scheduled launch times, it is classed as a balloon, If the object i s mov-
ing and a track is reported, the track is checked against winds aloft for t hat
area. If the reported movement is with the wind at any altitude, the object
could be a balloon, llan;y balloons are tracked by radio and radar and in these
cases, the actual t rack of the balloon can be correlated with the dat a obtained
from the observers.
The possibility of observers seeing balloons that have devel oped
slow leaks and have drifted long distances is always present, In cases where
the description of the object is identical to that of a balloon and ret no bal-
loons can be positively determined as having been in that area, the report i s
evaluated as possibly e balloon on the chance that a balloon has become "lost•
and has drifted into the area .
E. Astronomical
Reports in this category are those ~hat are proven to be or are
similiar in all respects to known astronomical bodies such as meteors, fireballs,
planets, or stars, The estimated azimuth and elevation of a reported object and
the time of the observation can be checked to determine the known location of
ast.rono;oieal. bodies. In some cases, this is done by project personnel and i .n
more d.ifficul t cases by an astronomer o

Keteors are identified mai nly ~ the observer ' s description as to

size, shape, and maneuvers . In some cases, exceptionally large met eors or
fireballs ere plotted by observatories and t hese plots are obtained.
F. other
This category contains reports that have been proven to be known
objects or phenomena, or the descriptions of the reported object s are similiar
to reports of known objects that do not fall into the above cat egories. Ex-
amples of these are birds, anomalous radar phenomena, bugs, etc .

II. SPECIAL REPORT ON CONFERENCE \VITH 44 PROFESSI ONAL ASTRONOMERS

l>lri ll!l the past swmner a professional a s t ronomer, under con·trac t with
A'f i C as a consultant on Projec t Blue Book, held c onfer ences wi t h l.l1 profes-
sional astronomer s in the U.S .A. and submitted a repor t of his findings.
Thnsn people were either co ntacted on t r ips or at professi onal soc.i ety mee·t -
ings . Of these, 5 had observed object s or phenomena they could not readily
explain . The· feelings of the 44 astronomers toward t he investigation of un-
identified flying objects vrere as f ollows:

Completely Indifferent 6% 7
Mildly Indifferent 'Zl% 12

CONFIDENTIAL
 UNCLASSIFIED

CONFIDENTIAL

"Over ~ astronomers were interviewed, of which five had made sight-

ings of one sort or another . This is a higher percentago than among the pop-
ulace at large. Perhaps this is to be expected, s ince astronomers do, after
all, watch tho skies. On the other hand; t hey will not likely be fooled by
balloons, aircraft, and similiar objects, as may the general popUlaep.

i t is interesting to remark upon t he attitude of the astronomers

intervim<ed. The great majority were neither hostile nor overly interested;
they gave one tho general feeling that all flying saucer reports could be
explained as misrepresen~ations of well-kn01m objects and. that there was
nothing intrinsic in the situation to cause concern. I took the time to talk
rather seriously with a few of them, and to acquaint them with the fact that
some of the sightings were truly puzzling and not at all easily explainable.
Their interest was almost immediately aroused, indicating that th9ir general
lethargy i s due to lack of information on the subjec t . And certainly another
contributing factor to their desire not to talk about those things is their
overwhelming fear of publicity. One headline in the nation's papers to t he
effect that "Astronomer Sees Flying Saucer• would be enough to brand the as-
trono~or as questionable among his colleagues. Since I was able to talk with
the men in confidence, I was able to gather very much moro of t heir inner
thoughts on the subje~t than a reporter or an interrogator would have been
able to do . Actual hostility is rare; concern with their o..n immediate
scientific problems is too great . There seems to be no convenient method by
which problems can be attacked, and most astronomers do not ·wish to become
involved, not only because of the danger of publicity but because tbe data
seems t enuous and unreliable . "
III. PRESS CONFERENCE
On 29 Jul 52 a press conference was held in the Pentagon to answer -the
many questions that were being directed to the Air Force by the press. The
conference was held by Yajor General John A. Samford, Director of Intelligence,
USAF. Others participating were Major General Roger M. Ramey, Director of
Operations, USAF, and officers of the Air Technical Intelligence Cenj;er.
I n essence General Samford stated that to date there were no indications
that any of the reported objects that could not be identified constitute a
menace to the United States. However, the Air Force would continue to give
the subject "adequate, but not frantic attention".

IV. PROPOSED THEORIES AS TO THE NATURE OF THE REPORTS

Several widely publicized theories as to the nature of t he reported ob-
jects or phenomena have been advanced in recent months. These theories have
been discussed with authorities on the subject of atmospheric physics and
they have agreed t hat none of the theories so far proposed would account for
more than a very suall percentage of the reports, 1£ any.

V. STATUS OF STATISTICAL ANALYSIS

In the spring of 1952 the Air Technical Intelligence Center established

a project with a civilian contrac~or to make a stati stical analysi s of all
incidents, As of 31 Oct 52, all reports f or 1947, 19~, 1949, 1950, and 1951
had been r e'li01'1od and coded for IBIJ pv.nch cards. By the end of October the
data to date on 1952 incidents will be on punch carda ready for a preliminary
analysis by statisticians ,

When this is completed, the contractor will begin work on tho coding of
tho 1952 reports. No completion date has been established f or this phase .
It is not contemplat ed that the 1952 reports will be completed in tho near
fv.tv.re, because, as was stated in Section I of this report, the total for the
year of 1952 exceeds t he total number of reports for all previous years .

VI. TEC!INICAL IHFORIIATION SHEET

A questionnaire or technical information sheet to be filled out by ob-

servers making a visual sighting was completed in Oct 52. Preliminary work
on this questionnaire began in May 52. A panel consisting of Blue Book por-
sonnel and several civilian scientists and engineers met and drafted a list
of questions whose answers would be needed in evaluating reports. These
questions were then given to a pallel o f psychologists who rC',,..orded them and
made th~ into questionnaire form. Test samples of these questionnaires were
reproduced and sent to persons reporting sightings . As test questionnaires
were completed and r eturned by observers they were studied by the psychol-
ogists and others, Several suoh test questionnaires were developed before a
final form was established. The final questionnair e is i nclosed in this re-
por t as Appendix II.

These questionnaires are n.,., being sent directly f rom ATIC to all per-
sons caking reports, i f a mailing address is in the report. This includes
both reports made by military in accordance with AFL 200-5 and reports made
directly to ATI C by civilians.

VII. COOPERATION OF AIR DEFENSE COJD.!AND

Excellent cooperation has beon received from the Air Defense Command i n
the utilization of their radar 1 fighter aircraft and t he Oround Observer Corps .

ADC has directed all their radar sites that are equi pped with oporat ional
radar scope cameras to keep these cameras on a 24-hour alert basis , It has
been found that scope photos are an extremely valuable aid v1hen 1 t i s neces-
sary to evaluate reports of extreme:cy high speed or unusual radar tracks .

UNCLASSlFlEI.J

A secondary duty of tho Ground Observer Corps is the reporting of uniden-

tified aerial phenomena or objocts, Thi• duty was established by ADC Regula-
tion 55-31;

VIII. NAVY REPORTING REGULATION

On 26 Sep 52 the United Stat09 Navy published an GPJ!AV very simillar to

API. 200-5, This notice dirocts all naval units ar.d i nstallations to repcrt
sight.ings directly to Kq USAF, ATIC, ADC, and other agencies.

II. BALLOOII AND 11EATHER DATA

In order to achiovo more positive identification of unidentified !lying

objects, the Air Technical Intolligonco Center has ostablishod channols of
communication with tho Air Weather Service, whoroby tho t r ack of aey 'R&ather
ball oon released by the USAF, US Navy, or Weather Bureau, within the conti-
nental limits of tho Unitod States or from US ships at sea and overseas bases,
can be obtainod, Basically tho systeJ:l works as followst If' the analyst at
ATIC concludes, by reason of tho description of a UPO, or the til::1o and place
of tho sighting, that the UFO is possibly a weather balloon, he initiates and
transtrl.ts to AJIS a specific request for the tracks of all woather balloon re-
leases at or near that til:lo and place . Comparison of these tracks with the
Flyobrpt frequently completes tho analysis of the report.

Additionally, tho US Navy and tho USAF aro currently engaged in tho
launching of special projoot upper air r esearch balloons . Those balloons
are plastic polyethyl ene, a highly r oflectivo surfaco, and since thoy often
are on the order of one-hundrod f eet in diamotor, they are visible to tho
nalced oye under certain atmospheric conditions, even at extreme altitudes.
<\lrther, tho loads carriod are usually heavy and metallic, ar.d olectronic
contact with these balloons can occur . In viow of this situation, ATIC b.a.s,
through the Ent Weather Osntral, Ent AFB, Colorado, taken steps to obtain
the tracks of all l!Uch balloon releases, and those tracb have often resulted
in positive identification of a UFO. To cite eases in point, the tracks of
sixteen flights released in July by a US Navy contractor resulted in tour
positive, two probable, and !our possible identifications of OF0 1 s ,

Another factor having A great deal of bearing in tho analysis of a

~~yobrpt, though i t may not be the actual cause, is tho moteorological con-
dition of the atmosphoro at the til:le and place of sighting . To obtain this
data, the Air Technical Intelligence Canter utilizos three sources. Firstly,
when detail ed information is needed immediately, i t can often be obtained
from the Base Woather Office at W..P AFB. Secondly, since ATIC receives daily
RAOB•s, constant prossuro charts, surface charts a nd winds aloft charts, the
necessary intomation is frequently on hand, Thirdly, when tbe data needed

i s voluminous and complex, and ~imo is rela~ively unimportan~, the Air Techni-
cal Int elligence Center utilizes the records of tho Air \'feather Service in
exactly the same manner as that employed in obtaining lTeather balloon release
data,

X. CA!IERAS

In an effort to obtain teohnical informati on concerning UFO•s , ATIC has

underHay a program for the distribution of a large number of s ter eo cameras
equipped with a dii'fraotion grat-ing over one lens. The camera in question is
called the "Videon•, It contains tlro F;.5 lenses with f ocal lengths of 45mm,
As supplied by ATIC, the s hutter speed and distance settings will be l ocked
at l/20t h of a second and infini~y, respectively. The "Videon" u t i lizes stan-
dard 75mm cartridge film, and is extremely simpl e to operate ,

The diffraction g r ating actually consists of a thin cellulose compound

which contains 15,000 vertical "hairlines" t o the linear inch. I t i s mounted
between two s hoats ot optical glass and placed over one lens of the Videon
by means of a fil~er adapter ring, The grating operates on precisely the
same principle as a prism; it separates a light in~o its component parts which
will appear as well defi ned spectrum bands upon ~he film, Si nce each c hemical
el ement emits a wave of characteristic length, and the grating, so to speak,
"pi cks upn t hese characterist-ics and shmts them as significant bands on t he
film, compar a t ive study of the film is expected to reveal much data concer n-
ing ~he chemical composition of a given UFO, The Videon camera, equi pped as
described above, does not represent the epitome o£ scientific equiJE,ent, h O'A"-
ever, actual comparison with other models has revealed that it offers a good
probability fo r success in abcomplishing the statod purpose, and this factor,
along with the economy and availability fac~ors, was responsible fo r ATIC' s
deci sion t.o purchase and distribUte t hesa cameras .

Silnultaneously with the experimentation invol ving ground camer as , ATIC

mounted diffraction gratings over the lenses of lanm gun cameras o f F-86
aircraft of the 97th Fightel'-Interceptor Squadron, W-P Am. These figh ters
then undertook air-air pho~ography of known light sources , and the spectrums
obtained were compar able to those obt-ained 'Kith the Videon; t he s maller film
surprisingly enough recorded equivalent. definition and band separation,
Therefore, as a par~ of the long range program, ATIC is consider ing the poosi -
bility of equipping certain USAF fighter-interceptor aircr aft 1vith diffr action
grating• for air-air photographic coverage of oro•••

At present, ATIC is negotia~ing with Bq ADC, a plan fo r the placement of

a certain number of Videon cameras with AC&W Squadrons . Similiarly, Videon
cameras may be distributed to tower operators of AACS. Future plans allow
for the procurement a nd pl acement of more Videon cameras and the placement
of the diffraction grids in aircraft, however, theoe plans arc entirely con-
~ingent upan the degree of succeso obtained in present opera~ions.
