The Air Force's UFO reporting programme from 1952 to 1969, successor to Projects Sign and Grudge. Its case files, about 12,600 of them, were microfilmed and are held by the National Archives. Speakers cite it for the volume of reports the government logged, for its 701 unidentified cases, and for the tone of its explanations.
