Quote from NICAP.org’s “1949 UFO Chronology and the
Grudge Report” (nicap.org):
“This chronology is currently a 29-page report and a very important year in UFOlogy. I want to thank all the members of the A-Team who made this possible. To look at and/or print all the 1949 Blue Book monthly summaries, click here. Otherwise the monthly listings are inserted within this chronology by month. Note: There are 209 entries in the 38-pageLa Paz catalog, the ‘Summary
of Sightings of Unknown Phenomena, 17th District OSI’. But in the 1949 group there were 144
sightings and the only ones listed here are the reports with some important
details to make them extraordinary. Also, brief case descriptions giving the
category number, name of witness, and source in brackets (M=military), are
NICAP UFO Evidence entries that haven't been located. Finally, I want thank
Loren Gross for thoughtfully and diligently collecting data many years ago for
his UFO Histories and supplemental notes, in particular here the year 1949. And
a big thanks to CUFOS and Mary Castnor for housing them on the CUFOS site.”
