The Black Vault · 134 pages · text from the file's own layer

This Black Vault compilation contains a September 1997 reply from the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense to John Greenewald's FOIA request, enclosing its UFO records. The enclosures include a Navy information sheet dismissing the Philadelphia Experiment and an Air Force UFO fact sheet listing 12,618 Project Blue Book sightings, 701 of them unidentified. They also include the National Academy of Sciences review endorsing the University of Colorado report and the concluding pages of a 1994 Air Force Roswell report attributing the wreckage to Project MOGUL.

In 1977, President Carter asked the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA) to look into the possibility of resuming
UFO investigations. After studying all the facts available, NASA
decided that nothing would be gained by further investigation. The
Air Force agrees with that decision. If, however, firm evidence is
found justifying further investigation, an appropriate agency will be
directed to undertake the effort.
