Tyler KiwalaHOST
And we have to question, okay, what were they doing about this? If they were tearing these holes, obviously they s- they started to figure out that something was going wrong, and they couldn't contain it, and they had, uh, this, you know, this UFO flap in the '40s, '50s, '60s, '70s, uh, that they really had to try and keep the lid on it.
Tyler KiwalaHOST
That's why Project Blue Book was created.
Tyler KiwalaHOST
But the military and the government doesn't like what they don't understand.
Tyler KiwalaHOST
That's why they kept it primarily secret from us, because I don't even think they understood what was happening.
Derek DeStefanGUEST
And supposedly, that was like a special group within the NRO itself that dealt with h- um, well, he would say it dealt with, it was called UFO loosen up, was how he termed it.
Derek DeStefanGUEST
You had Project Blue Book would be considered UFO coverup, which he claimed he was a part of back in the early days in the '50s.
Derek DeStefanGUEST
But he said this was considered UFO loosen up to get the consciousness of, of the, of our collective consciousness used to this idea that we're not alone, that we've got other beings, and we've been in- interacting with them probably for thousands of years.
Derek DeStefanGUEST
But now is the time for us to be ready for that full disclosure event, which is probably gonna happen sooner than we think.

Um, so he said he was a part of Project Blue Book.
Derek DeStefanGUEST
He mentioned a couple others, Grudge, Sign, Bear.

Steve StocktonHOST
The Betts family home was besieged by reporters, ufologists, and curious locals.
Steve StocktonHOST
Among the visitors was Dr. J. Allen Hynek, the renowned astronomer and former scientific advisor to the U.S. Air Force's Project Blue Book.
Steve StocktonHOST
Hynek examined the sphere and confirmed it was not an obvious hoax, though he remained cautious about its origin.
Steve StocktonHOST
As theories involving Soviet listening devices and alien technology began to dominate the headlines, the U.S. Navy formally requested to examine the object.

Steve StocktonHOST
Now, on the late afternoon of April 24, 1964, the arid, sunbaked landscape just south of Socorro, New Mexico became the stage for one of the most credible, physically corroborated UFO encounters in modern history.
Steve StocktonHOST
The incident is a cornerstone of ufology, primarily due to the unimpeachable character of the sole witness, police officer Lonnie Zamora, and the wealth of physical trace evidence left behind in the desert dirt.
Steve StocktonHOST
Now, unlike fleeting lights in the sky or blurry photographs taken by anonymous civilians, the Socorro encounter involved a close-range observation of a landed craft, distinct humanoid occupants, and an intense investigation by the U.S. Air Force's Project Blue Book.
Steve StocktonHOST
It remains one of the very few cases involving a physical craft and occupants that the U.S. government officially classified as unknown.
Ron JamesGUEST
Well, it never, ever is.
Ron JamesGUEST
If you look at, like in the first Accidental Truth movie, we point out that these guys have created a narrative that they tried to pull off back when Lou Elizondo first came out, that Project Blue Book ended and the government and industry had no involvement until later.
Ron JamesGUEST
And we all know that's a flat-out lie.
Ron JamesGUEST
And they've had to change their narrative over time to reflect the fact that we all know that's a flat-out lie.

Ron JamesGUEST
And it's being controlled by very, very few people at very, very deep levels who will never be revealed.
Ron JamesGUEST
And so that's how it works.
Ron JamesGUEST
And the people that are in charge of the information decide, hey, you know, we're going to have to back off this whole nothing happened after Project Blue Book because the Internet is disproving us and making us look bad.
Ron JamesGUEST
Hey, Lou, we need you to go ahead and acknowledge reverse engineering programs.
Matt TonesHOST
The National Academy of Sciences broadly supported the project's approach.
Matt TonesHOST
Project Blue Book closed the following year.
Matt TonesHOST
Now notice what did not happen.
Matt TonesHOST
The report did not establish that every historical UFO case had been solved.
Derek DeStefanGUEST

Derek DeStefanGUEST
The story of the, uh, Kalahari retrievals in South Africa was an important one.
Derek DeStefanGUEST
Um, the Brotherhood Lodge is Star Wars and, um, underground bases with Phil Schneider and the wing makers he, it mentions at the very end.
Derek DeStefanGUEST
Um, so he said he was a part of Project Blue Book.
Derek DeStefanGUEST
He mentioned a couple others, Grudge, Sign, Bear.

Stu JacksonHOST
And that meant that somebody was going to have to investigate them properly.
Stu JacksonHOST
Which brings us to Project Sign, Project Grudge, and a Project Blue Book.
Stu JacksonHOST
Hmm.
Stu JacksonHOST
So, at the end of 1947, and we have to remember, this all happened in a single year.
Stu JacksonHOST
The military didn't need to believe in extraterrestrials or anything like that to take unidentified aircraft seriously.
Stu JacksonHOST
If people were seeing something genuinely new in American airspace, the Soviet Union was an extremely obvious candidate.
Stu JacksonHOST
Project Sign evolved into Project Grudge in 1949 and then eventually became Project Blue Book in 1952.
Stu JacksonHOST
The names might have changed, but the underlying problem remained.
