Center for UFO Studies · 139 pages · text by GLM-OCR

This is the July 1966 third edition of Dr. Leon Davidson's "Flying Saucers: An Analysis of the Air Force Project Blue Book Special Report No. 14", published by Ramsey-Wallace Corp. It reproduces early Air Force press releases, the 1953 CIA panel report, the 1966 Blue Book release and the full text of the May 1955 Special Report No. 14 with its tables and codes. Davidson also gives his view that the CIA was responsible for much saucer publicity.

Part C: The Current (1966) Air Force Release on Project Blue Book

Pages C-1 through C-8 comprise the complete text of the document issued by the Air Force in February 1966 as its current "press release" for the public. The only deletions (made necessary by limitations of space) are a "Suggested Reading List" of books on astronomy, atmospheric phenomena, etc., which constituted page 6, and a Fireball Report Form which formed page 10. If desired, these missing pages may be obtained from the publisher (see back cover for address) at a nominal charge to cover reproduction and handling expenses.

The cover letter from the Air Force which accompanied this document is reproduced on page C-4, occupying what was a large blank space in the original document. Pages 4 and 5 of the original document, which were each half-blank, have been combined on page C-5. Pages 6 and 10 have been omitted, as stated above.
