Secret Blue Book Project: What the US Government Reveals About UFOs
What the US government found out about UFOs

 

Ever since man first walked the Earth, and especially since he walked the Moon, a question has haunted humanity: are we really alone in this vast and infinite universe? In ancient times, the appearance of stars in the sky stimulated interest in extraterrestrial life forms.

Now, so-called signs are much more advanced, flying lights, pictures of their images, and eyewitness accounts of real abductions.

But where does fantasy begin and what is reality like? How many of those testimonies are true? And if they are real, or are governments hiding it?

The US government's Blue Book project hoped to answer each of these questions. It was commanded by the United States Air Force, and began to be implemented in 1947, when General Nathan Tuining sent a classified memo to the Pentagon.

The memo, entitled "Flying Discs," described in detail a meeting that Tuining had had with a group of flying saucers resembling a disk. He claimed that the drives had a "high degree of maneuverability". According to government documents made available to the public under the Freedom of Information Act, the Blue Book Project was formally implemented between 1952-1969. Although the facts about it are open to the public, many mysteries remain about the events, which have fueled various conspiracy theories.

Separating fact from fiction is impossible. But in every mention of the project, two things are constantly conveyed as facts. The project aimed to determine if UFOs were a threat to national security and secondly to scientifically analyze all the data collected about UFOs.

The first director of the Blue Book Project was Captain Edward Rupelt, an experienced aviator decorated for his contribution to World War II. He officially coined the term "Unidentified Flying Objects." He studied cases such as the appearance of one UFO in Lubok, Texas, and another in 1952 over Washington.

Rupelt's main scientific consultant was J. Allen Heinek, a famous Chicago astronomer. Much of Heinek's work involved explaining mysterious lights as a natural phenomenon or attributing flying objects to airplanes, asteroids, or sometimes just clouds.

He entered the project with a lot of skepticism. However, during the implementation of the project, there were some events that prompted Heinek to continue his studies on UFOs, even long after the closure of the Blue Book Project. But the most famous period, was that of Major Hector Quintanilas.

Perhaps the most important event that took place under Quintanilla's direction was a congressional hearing. In 1966, the northern part of New England began to experience a range of potentially extraterrestrial contacts. Strange lights were moving in the sky almost every night, moving in a disorderly manner.

Authorities explained to residents that the lights were some "flying signs" as part of a military exercise for the air force, but there was much speculation. Heinek was forced to testify that he had not "seen any evidence to confirm" the existence of the aliens.

Heinek, believed that there was less attention on the scientific details, and more on the PR of the project. So while Heinec wanted to find the real UFOs, the military was focused on making sure the public knew that UFOs were not something real.

Heinek would later admit that many of his investigations simply challenged the official explanation, even though he publicly accepted the Air Force version. He said: "Quintanilla's method was simple: it ignored any evidence that was contrary to his hypothesis.

Over 17 years, the Blue Book Project collected 12,618 reports of UFOs, 11,917 of which were described as cloud-covered aircraft lights, secret Air Force drills, or mirages in the deserts of the southwestern United States.

Sidoqoftë, teoricienët e konspiracionit kënaqen me faktin se 701 nga ato raste mbeten “të pazgjidhura”. Nëse studiuesit s’kishin kohë t’i zgjidhnin ato, apo nëse realisht kemi të bëjmë me alienë që vijnë nga një botë tjetër, kjo mbetet e panjohur. Ky UFO fluturoi për pesëmbëdhjetë minuta pranë Qendrës së Zhvillimit të Ajrit Holloman në Nju Meksiko. Objekti u fotografua nga një punonjës i qeverisë, dhe u lirua nga Organizata e Studimit të fenomeneve ajrore, pas një studimi të kujdesshëm. Nuk ka shpjegim konvencional për objektin.

Në fund të vitit 1969, sekretari i Forcave Ajrore Robert Simëns, shpalli fundin e Projektit “Blue Book”, pasi sipas tij nuk kishte prova të mëtejshme shkencore, për të provuar se UFO-t ishin një çështje e sigurisë kombëtare. Ndërkohë disa përpjekje kërkimore, vazhduan deri në janar të vitit 1970.

 

Gjetjet zyrtare të Projektit “Blue Book”, pohuan se 4 gjëra kanë ndikuar mbi çështjen e UFO-ve:

1-Histeria masive në mesin e popullit amerikan.

2-Individë që shpresojnë të bëhen të famshëm përmes mashtrimeve.

3-Personat psikopatologjikë.

4-Identifikimi i gabuar i objekteve konvencionale.

Gjetjet gjithashtu ofruan një përgjigje të fortë ndaj ekzistencës së UFO-ve, duke pretenduar:

1-Asnjë UFO-t e hetuar dhe vlerësuar nga Forcat Ajrore, nuk ka dhënë ndonjëherë një shenjë kërcënimi për sigurinë tonë kombëtare.

2- S’ka pasur prova të paraqitura apo të zbuluara nga Forca Ajrore, se vëzhgimet e kategorizuara si “të objekteve të paidentifikuara”, paraqesin zhvillime apo parime teknologjike, përtej gamës së njohurive shkencore të ditëve të sotme.

3-Nuk ka pasur dëshmi, që të tregojnë se objektet e kategorizuara si “të paidentifikuara” janë makineri jashtëtokësore.

In short, the Blue Book Project claimed to have solved this mystery once and for all, describing it as a natural phenomenon, at a time when it further stimulated interest in the existence of UFOs. Heiner continued his private investigations into UFOs, and in 1973 established the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS).

Of the numerous investigations undertaken by CUFOS, only about 80 per cent of them can be explained, while 20 per cent remains a mystery. But while the U.S. Air Force may believe that the Blue Book Project's final report is true, the question that still lingers in the minds of skeptics and experts today is: Are we really alone in the universe?
