The Blue Book project of the US Air Force collected information about UFOs from 1947 to 1969. During those years a total of about 13,000 incidents were reported and evaluated by Project Blue Book. The official position was, and still is, that the UFO phenomenon does not exist. In spite of efforts to reduce the number of cases which remain unexplained. The Project Blue Book evaluations of these cases are in many cases contrived and often unrelated to the data contained in the dossiers.
Most of the cases analyzed in this book refer to interactions of pilots and unidentified flying objects and all but one are taken from the Blue Book Project microfilm files. Some of the incidents have never been published, and the collection provides a good sample of how the UFO phenomenon was handled by the United States Air Force.
The official files of the Spanish Air Force are the source for the additional incident, which illustrates that the USAF is not alone in its futile attempts to dismiss the UFO phenomenon as irrelevant.
