Quote from the article:
“Back in the olden days, while I was still in college
and a member of Air Force ROTC, I learned that the Project Blue Book files were
available for study and review at the Air Force Archives at the what was then
called Maxwell Air Force Base. The announcement was made in an internal Air
Force document, meaning, simply, that it was circulated inside the Air Force
but not necessarily in the civilian world. It said that anyone who traveled to Alabama could see the
material.
They eventually told us about a master index to the
sightings. This master index gave the dates of the sightings, location, names
of the witnesses and the Air Force conclusion. Cornett and I went through the
whole thing and copied the information of all the unidentifieds, most of the
photo cases, landing trace cases, and anything else that struck us as
important. I didn’t know how valuable that information would become later.
In other files, they took the names out of the Air
Force generated reports, but left the names in newspaper articles that were
filed with the reports. In other words, in some cases, you can put the names
back in.
But remember, Cornett and I copied the names from so
many of the case files that I, too, can put them back in. In fact, in Project
Blue Book – Exposed, Appendix B is a listing of those cases, including the date
and time, location and the witnesses, along with a brief description of the
sighting.”
