Colorado study. The panel concurred in the University of Colorado's
rec o mmendation that "no high priority in UFO investigations is
warranted by data of the past two decades." It concluded by stating
that, "On the basis of present knowledge, the least likely explanation
of UFO s is the hypothesis of extraterrestrial visitations bi intelligent...
beings."
Past UFO studies include one conducted by a Scientific Advisory
Panel of UFOs in January, 1953 (Robertson Panel); and, a review of
Project Blue Book by the Air Force Scientific Advisory !card Ad Hoc
Committee, February-March, 1966 (Dr. Brian O'Brien, Chairman). The1e
studies concluded that no evidence has been found that any of the UFO
reports reflect a threat to our national security.
As a result of investigating UFO reports since 1948, the
conclusions of Project Blue Book are: (1) no UFO reported, investi-
gated, and evaluated by the Air Force has ever given any indication
(
of threat to our national security; (2) there has been no evidence
submitted or discovered by the Air Force that sightings categorized r·

has been no evidence indicating that sightings categorized as "unidenti-
fied" are extraterrestrial vehicles. .•
