This is the final report of the Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects, conducted by the University of Colorado under Air Force contract F44620-67-C-0035, with Edward U. Condon as scientific director and Daniel S. Gillmor as editor. It was submitted to the National Academy of Sciences on 15 November 1968 for review. The report includes field studies, photographic and radar analyses, case studies, historical chapters and appendices such as the Robertson Panel report and the Twining letter.
One old case (Case 5) which was not on pub I ic record did seem to warrant investigation. Our early information, from an ~eparently highly reliable source indicated that radar scope pictures, electronic counter-measure graphic data, and U.S. Air Force Intelligence debriefing records regarding the event should be in existence and available for our study. The case came to our a ttent ion when an Air Force officer attending the project's conference for base UFO officers mention.ed that he haJ C'llcountered an unknown aerial rhenomeno:1 :llJout ten years earlier. At the time' of the event he reported it to Air Force intelligence ]'0rsonncl. TIle incident il'volvcd the crew of a B-47 equipped ''''ith radar surveillance devices. The B-4 7 was operating from a Strateg;c Air Command base. and the report of the i nci d~nt ,~as thought to hav~ been sent to Air Defense Command Intelligence. No r~~port of the ir.cident \~~ found in Blue Honk fi Ips or in the fj les of NORAIl hC'Cl.dquarters at Ent AFB. Lacking adeoua.tc infoTInation on an impressi \c case, project investigator~ sought to locate and i ntervieH members of the original 8-47 crew, hoeing to detennine hOly the incidc::t had been 'Jfficiall)' identified and to trace AF reports on it. The H-47 crew con" i~ted of pi lot, co-pi lot, navigator, and three officers \~ho operated speci al radar-monitoring equipment. The three officers most directlr im:01 ved wi til the UFO j nci dent were pilot, cc-piiot, and the operator of 112 monitoring unit.
