“The highly-touted objective UFO investigation by the University of Colorado Colorado
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).

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

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