UFO Sightings Latest News 2015: U.S. Air Force Reports On Over 12,000 Investigated U.F.O. Sightings Now On Internet

Nearly 130,000 U.S. Air Force documents on 12,618 investigated sightings of alleged unidentified flying objects (U.F.O.s) from the 1940s to 1960s are now available on the Internet.

John Greenewald Jr. has uploaded the files on his website: http://projectbluebook.theblackvault.com/ "after months of collecting, programming and converting."

The files pertain to Projects Blue Book, Sign, and Grudge, which were the Air Force's programs on U.F.O. investigations.

The U.S. Air Force terminated Project Blue Book on Dec. 17, 1969, and the files were transferred to the National Archives.

"From 1947 to 1969, a total of 12,618 sightings were reported to Project Blue Book. Of these, 701 remain 'unidentified.' The project was headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, whose personnel no longer receive document or investigate U.F.O. reports," according to a fact sheet released by the U.S. Air Force in 1985.

The files contain photos, reports, analysis and conclusion on U.F.O. sightings mostly in the U.S. and other countries including Finland, the Philippines, and Japan.

However, these did not contain the famous 1947 U.F.O. incident in Roswell, New Mexico, in which U.F.O. enthusiasts said aliens and their spacecraft were recovered in July 1947.

The National Archives reportedly "has been unable to locate any documentation among the Project Blue Book records" regarding the incident.

"The Air Force research did not locate or develop any information that the 'Roswell Incident' was a U.F.O. event nor was there any indication of a 'cover-up' by the Government," the National Archives said. "Information obtained through exhaustive records searches and interviews indicated that the materials recovered near Roswell was consistent with a balloon devise of the type used in a then classified project. No records indicated or even hinted that the recovery of 'alien' bodies or extraterrestrial materials."

For its part, the U.S. Air Force said its decision to terminate Project Blue Book was based on a report by the University of Colorado on the "Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects."

It concluded that based on Project Blue Book, "no U.F.O. reported, investigated, and evaluated by the Air Force has ever given any indication of threat to our national security."

"There has been no evidence submitted to or discovered by the Air Force that sightings categorized as 'unidentified' represent technological developments or principles beyond the range of present-day scientific knowledge," it said. "There has been no evidence indicating that sightings categorized as 'unidentified' are extraterrestrial vehicles."
