BLUE BOOK LIES

Much less innocent was the LIE told by Secretary of the US Air Force, Donald Quarles, on October 25, 1955, as quoted in an official press release about a large study concerning UFOs. “On the basis of this study, we believe that no objects such as those popularly described as flying saucers have overflown the United States. I feel certain that even the Unknown 3% could have been explained as conventional phenomena or illusions if more complete observational data had been obtained.” That the two supposedly factual statements (3% Unknowns, incomplete observation data), are bald faced LIES is easily demonstrated by this table where the data are compiled from “the study” whose title was NOT given in the press release ("Project Blue Book Special Report No. 14," Ref. 5) and which was not distributed, though the press release got very wide coverage.

Categorization of UFO Sightings Reports

Note that the UNKNOWNS, rather than making up 3% of the 3201 sightings investigated, comprised 21.5% and that there was a completely separate category “INSUFFICIENT INFORMATION.” The definitions are as follows:

UNKNOWN — This designation in the identification code was assigned to those reports of sightings wherein the description of the object and its maneuvers could not be fitted to the pattern of any known object or phenomenon.

INSUFFICIENT INFORMATION — The identification category was assigned to a report when upon final consideration there was some essential item of information missing…. It is emphasized that this category was not used as a convenient way to dispose of what might be called poor unknowns.”

Here is the quality distribution of the same 3201 sightings. Note especially that the better the quality of the sighting the MORE likely to be listed as an UNKNOWN. A statistical comparison between UNKNOWNS and KNOWNS showed that the probability that the UNKNOWNS were just missed KNOWNS was less than 1%.

QUALITY DISTRIBUTION OF UFO REPORTS

Another typical Government UFO LIE was uttered by Dr. Donald Menzel, a professor of Astronomy at Harvard. However, I had discovered in his papers at the Harvard Archives after receiving the required permission from three different people to view them, that he had a TOP SECRET Ultra clearance with the CIA and a very long history of work for the National Security Agency, the CIA, and many other companies. He said in Physics Today “All the non-explained sightings are from poor observers.” Menzel was earning his pay as a member of Majestic 12.

I should also point out that subsequent annual USAF Project Blue Book Press releases consistently LIED by using a sneaky tactic of not including those cases still under investigation at the end of the year in their annual tabulation and by suddenly deciding that any one-witness UNKNOWN would have to be dumped in the Insufficient Information category, no matter how competent the witness. Obviously sightings that are still under investigation at the end of the year are more likely to be Unexplainable than those quickly identified. Testimony from one witness has been used to provide the death penalty for a convicted murderer. When the numbers are put back in the tabulations, again the percentage of UNKNOWNS was around 20%. Anybody searching for a cancer cure would be delighted if 20% of the drugs being tested actually did much more good than harm. Anybody with cancer would probably be satisfied if one drug worked.

UFOs are, by no means, a recent phenomena. Sightings of unusual aerial objects go back hundreds...perhaps even thousands of years! As proof of this, UFOs have been depicted in several historical works of art.

Even the Bible contains certain accounts which are very similar to some of the happenings taking place today. There are many accounts of strange sightings that pre-date 1947, which is when the modern era of UFOs and Flying Saucers began.

My own religious views or beliefs have been altered because of my personal involvement with UFO research. And perhaps it is time that I share with the readers all the changes that my Faith has gone through since the very beginning of my quest for the truth regarding Unidentified Flying Objects and Flying Saucers. Click here to know more on how this has affected me and my personal belief system.

In the modern age, UFOs have been witnessed around the world by people from all walks of life, including police officers, pilots, fire fighters, astronauts and military personnel.

UFO sighting reports filed by witnesses such as these must be regarded as highly reliable because good observational skills and keen eyesight are vital to the performance of their duties.

Still, the ridicule factor has kept a larger number of credible people from reporting their experiences with UFOs.

But here in Canada, the sightings that do get reported eventually make their way to Chris Rutkowski, from Ufology Research, who puts out the annual Canadian UFO Survey.

From the information he is gathering, the statistics seem to indicate that UFO sightings are on an increase, from year to year!

Canada is the only country in the world to produce such a survey!
