Project Blue Book Mariana UFO Incident PDF

Here on screen, for the time, is shown

Here on screen, for the first time, is shown terrific color footage of "saucers" in flight-footage which up to this time has been held top secret. Skeptics will think twice before dismissing the saucer as a fantasy, but how Greene and Rouse ever pried loose the official air force footage is a story in itself.
