Project Blue Book was the US Air Force's official UFO investigation program from 1952 to 1969 (succeeding Projects Sign and Grudge), headquartered at Wright-Patterson AFB. It collected over 12,000 sighting reports, explaining most and leaving several hundred 'unidentified,' before being closed following the critical Condon Report. It matters as the foundational US government UFO study whose records and explanations (including the infamous 1966 'swamp gas' Michigan case) shaped the public debate for decades.
