62d Military Airlift Wing History, 1969: Blue Book Ends at McChord AFB
McChord AFB, Tacoma, Washington
A McChord AFB wing history records the end of Project Blue Book from the base's side: 12 local UFO reports in late 1969, none forwarded, and a base UFO officer still following AFR 80-17 because no order had come to stop.
Ira Eaker's 'I Once Saw a Flying Saucer' and the Air Force's 1966 UFO Kit
Washington, D.C.
A retired Air Force general's 1966 newspaper column about the 'golden disc' that turned out to be a DC-3, filed with the Blue Book fact sheet and briefing papers the Pentagon sent him while he was writing it.
78th Fighter Wing, 1964: A Bay Area UFO Wave and a 'Flying Sub'
Hamilton AFB, California
An air defense wing history notes a jump in UFO reports around San Francisco Bay in 1964 and files a newspaper story about a glowing 'flying submarine' that Hamilton's radar never detected.
RAND's 'A Survey of Exobiology' (1963): Alien Life, but No UFOs
Santa Monica, California
A 1963 RAND memorandum for the Air Force surveys the science of life beyond Earth, from Mars to Project Ozma and alien probes. It never mentions UFOs or flying saucers, which makes its place in a UAP collection a puzzle.
AFR 200-2, July 1962: The Air Force's Blue Book-Era UFO Regulation
Washington, D.C.
The 1962 edition of AFR 200-2, with its 1964 change and a local supplement: the rulebook that made base commanders UFO investigators, kept the press with one office and told staff to drive 'unidentifieds' down.
95th Bomb Wing History, 1960: A Glowing UFO Over a B-52 at Biggs AFB
Biggs AFB, El Paso, Texas
Three sentries at Biggs AFB reported a glowing bluish-white object passing within eight feet of a parked B-52 on alert in March 1960. The wing's full AFR 200-2 message, with its checks of radar, Holloman and White Sands, is bound into the history.
