UFO Report:
“The 1968 UFO Chronology”
Created: 15 November 2006
Updated: 5 January 2017
(NICAP.org)
Quote from the UFO report:
“This is a
twelve-page chronology of UFO incidents and events for 1968. Our thanks
for these chronologies must go to our documentation team: Richard Hall (the
original 1968 chronology from UFOE II), William Wise (Project Blue Book
Archive), Dan Wilson (archive researcher), and Brad Sparks (Comprehensive
Catalog of Project Blue Book Unknowns). Last, but not least, our thanks to Jean
Waskiewicz who created the online NICAP DBase (NSID) that helped make it
possible to link from the cases to the reports themselves.
Earlier last year, on September 18, 1967, Condon, Low
and Saunders had met for the first time in many weeks. As a result of his
reading of the memo, Saunders was deeply concerned about the negative approach
to the UFO problem. Saunders was led to believe that if by chance the Extra
Terrestrial Intelligence (ETI) hypothesis was substantiated, the announcement
would be sent by Condon directly to the Air Force and the President, and never
be allowed to go to the public. This troubled him, because Saunders had been
given a clear understanding that the report would go first to the National
Academy of Sciences, then to the public and Air Force simultaneously. Saunders
felt he could not let the problem drop. Another meeting was agreed to. At this
point, Keyhoe suddenly sent word that NICAP was going to take a strong stand
against the Condon committee and no longer would supply material and reports.
The reason, Keyhoe said, was a new speech made by Condon at the Atomic
Spectroscopy Symposium at Gaithersburg ,
Md. , on September 13, 1967. A report of the new
Condon speech had already reached Dr. McDonald in a letter from a colleague at
the University of
Arizona , William S.
Bickel, assistant professor of physics on the campus. The rest was all down
hill, but the Condon Report later tried to say they couldn’t get cooperation,
as excerpts inserted in the chronology will demonstrate.
As the Colorado UFO Project prepares to announce the
failure to find anything of substance to UFOs and the need to close the Air
Force Project Blue Book, other studies, such as the secret NSA document below,
and later the RAND document (Nov. 27), give a more accurate report.

UFO News Article:
“Doubts Rise as to Objectivity
Of ‘Flying Saucer’ Project”
1 May 1968
(Nashua Telegraph, New Hampshire)
Quote from the article:
“A final report of the scientists’ findings will be
given to the National Academy of Sciences late in September. Condon, a
physicist, said he would not discuss any conclusions that the researches might
have reached.
Condon’s statement came amid controversy between him
and Look Magazine over an article that calls the project the ‘Flying Saucer
Fiasco.’
The university undertook a $500,000 study of
Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO’s) late in 1966 at the request of the Air
Force, whose critics accused it of failing for two decades to make a
comprehensive, scientific investigation of saucer reports from the public.
On the House floor Tuesday, Rep. J. Edward Roush,
D-Ind., using phrases from the Look article, said Congress should take over the
investigation from the Air Force. He said grave doubts had arisen ‘as to the
scientific profundity and objectivity of the Colorado project.’
Elsewhere, the non-governmental National
Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) held a news conference
here to announce that it had ‘broken with’ the Colorado project and to ‘reveal
the firing of top project scientists and other incidents leading to the project’s
failure.’
NICAP headquarters here has expressed strong
scepticism about the project for months.
The Look article, in the May 14 issue, indicates that
the two men who were dismissed and others on the staff felt that Condon and
others directing the project took a negative attitude toward the possibility
that flying saucers existed and were attempting to end up with a report
containg such a ‘negative’ conclusion.”

“Subject: Case 35 (Condon Report),
Vandenberg AFB, Oct. 6, 1967”
By Francis
Ridge , 3 June 2009
(NICAP.org)
Quote from the article:
“This is one I had missed, probably because it was selected by the Condon Committee and
because the explanations given appeared to indicate it wasn’t that good a case.
It’s a good thing I read about it in Ann Druffel’s ‘Firestorm.’
According to her report (page 399) the incident began
when Vandenberg AFB radar detected a very large stationary object some miles
over the Pacific off the Northern California
coast. Later, radar detected numerous small, but strong, targets traveling
eastward in irregular flight. The location and time of Case #35 was listed in
the Condon Report as ‘South Pacific, Fall 1967.’
The Vandenberg incidents, therefore, possibly
represented a ‘carrier craft’ releasing numbers of smaller UFOs. Large UFOs
like this had appeared off the California
coast from time to time, reportedly hovering for hours some miles at sea. If the
Vandenberg main object was a ‘carrier craft,’ the Vandenberg reports and the China Lake
aviator sighting could possibly be linked. In McDonald’s files, no indication
had been found that he managed to track down the NWC aviator sighting.”
Wikipedia
article: “Vandenberg Air Force Base”:
Quote from the Wikipedia article:
“Vandenberg Air Force Base (IATA: VBG, ICAO: KVBG, FAA
LID: VBG) is a United States Air Force Base 9.2 miles (14.8 km ) northwest of
Lompoc, California. It is under the jurisdiction of the 30th Space Wing, Air
Force Space Command (AFSPC).
Vandenberg AFB is a Department of Defense space and
missile testing base, with a mission of placing satellites into polar orbit
from the West Coast using expendable boosters (Pegasus, Taurus, Minotaur, Atlas
V, and Delta IV) and reusable boosters (SpaceX's Falcon 9). Wing personnel also
support the Service's LGM-30G Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile
Force Development Evaluation program.
In addition to its military mission, the base also
leases launch pad facilities to SpaceX (SLC-4E), as well as 100 acres (40 ha ) leased to the
California Spaceport in 1995.
Established in 1941, the base is named in honor of
former Air Force Chief of Staff General Hoyt Vandenberg.
Vandenberg Air Force base will serve as one of two Pacific bases to defend against possible North Korean or Iranian missile threats. The program will have interceptor missiles that will launch to take down intermediate-range ballistic missiles that pose a threat to the United States.[3]”

Proof of U.S. Air Force UFO Investigation, November 1971
Whenever (after December 1969) anyone has asked the U.S.
Air Force if it investigates UFO cases, the person has been
told that the U.S. Air Force stopped investigating UFO cases
after 17 December 1969 as a result of the Condon Report. This
UFO study determined that UFOs offer no credible threat to
U.S. national security and there is no evidence that UFOs
originate from another planet in another solar system.
So, what do we find two years later, in November 1971?
We find that the U.S. Air Force investigates a UFO case!
In the March 1972 edition of Skylook, which was the Midwest UFO Network’s monthly magazine, we learn that the Air Force investigated the Paul Doss UFO sighting/photographs case.
Paul Doss was a MUFON State-Section Director (Indiana). On 9 May 1971 he had visited the Vermillion River Observatory, south of Union Corner, Illinois. While he was there he saw and photographed a huge, cone-shaped UFO that flew right over him.
On 24 November 1971 Paul Doss was interviewed by U.S. Air Force officials at the Chanute Field in Rantoul, Illinois. The UFO photographs were also delivered to the U.S. Air Force officials.
The end of the article says:
“And, as Mr. Andrus (Walter H. Andrus, Jr. was MUFON’s Director) pointed out, in a letter accompanying this report, very significant is the fact that our Government IS still interested in UFOs – and is quietly investigating – despite the Condon Report which apparently was intended to laugh off the whole subject of “flying saucers” and to convince the public of the Government’s total lack of interest and cessation of all investigation.”

I guess the U.S. Air Force (U.S. military) is still investigating UFO cases!

“AF Steps Up UFO Debunking”
U.F.O. Investigator, Vol. IV, No. 2, October 1967
(National Investigations Committee on Aerial
Phenomena, Washington , D.C. )
Source: CUFOS.org
The whole article:
“The highly-touted objective UFO investigation by the University of Colorado , sponsored by the U.S. Air Force,
has brought no change in Air Force debunking practices. It was expected that
the Air Force would declare a moratorium and adopt a wait-and-see attitude
pending completion of the Colorado
study. The actions can only increase public doubt about the outcome of the Air
Force sponsored study which is, in effect, being pre-judged by the sponsor.
In the July/August issue of The Airman, ‘OfficiaI
Magazine of the U.S. Air Force,’ Major George W. Ogles, Headquarters, USAF,
dredged up all the standard debunking statements, including a hackneyed
photograph of the Avrocar which has been used periodically to imply that UFOs
might be U.S. secret craft. (In reality, the Avrocar project was unsuccessful
and was scrapped years ago). Major Ogles incorrectly reported that there are no
unexplained radar UFO sightings. When NICAP produced an Air Force letter
admitting that a December 6, 1952, radar sighting was classified as
unexplained, this case appeared in the next installment of the article as an
exception to the rule. There are, of course hundreds of unexplained radar
sightings. When these are cited to the Air Force, spokesmen either deny any
knowledge of the cases or attribute them to errors by the radar operators.
In mid-August, the North American Air Defense Command
(NORAD) issued the misleading statement that no UFOs had been detected by their
tracking system over the United States or Canada (NORAD computers automatically
screen out radar targets such as UFOs which do not conform to known aircraft
characteristics, because NORAD’s main mission is to detect possible enemy
aircraft attacking the country). NORAD said that 95% of all sightings had been
tracked down to the conventional source, an exaggeration which needs no further
comment. Why the statement emanated from NORAD instead of Headquarters USAF as
official regulations require is not known (AF Regulation 80-17; Section B,
paragraph 4).
The widely disseminated annual Project Blue Book ‘fact
sheet’,
1 March1967, a
standard hand-out to the press and the public, makes no mention whatsoever of
the Colorado Project. Instead, Project Blue Book continues as before the Colorado contract to
investigate sightings independently and to grind out counter-to-fact
‘explanations’ in many cases.

A sudden AF reversal after years of debunking was not expected. But if the
