UFO's - 1969 Bolender memo Page 3
CUFON Computer UFO Network
Document #: 56

Subject: 1969 BOLENDER MEMO PG. 3
CUFON - Computer UFO Network Seattle, Washington
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT DOCUMENT FILES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
that the federal government should not set up a major new agency for the
scientific study of UFOs, we do not favor this suggestion and feel that
UFO reports should be left to normal scientific and defense channels.
If such a center is established, it should not perform an investigative
function and should be initiated only on a trial basis for a specified
lifetime.
8. Project Blue Book has accumulated records on over 13,000 sighting
cases. During his study, Dr. Condon expressed concern about the possible
loss of these records and their relative inaccessibility at Wright-
Patterson Air Force Base. He was assured by Secretary Brown that we would
look into the feasibility and desirability of relocating the files in the
Washington area and that no action would be taken until the Colorado
report was released (Atch 13). If Project Blue Book is terminated, the
records should be transferred to an appropriate archive and preserved for
historical value and to prevent charges that the Air Force is concealing
facts.
9. To receive the candor and cooperation essential to the successful
investigation of UFOs, the Air Force adopted a practice of confidentiality
witnesses were assured that their names would not be used without their
(Atch 14). Therefore, access to these records and the
publications access must be carefully reviewed and
controlled. SAFOI feels that an Air Force controlled archive away from
the Washington, D.C. area is the most appropriate storage facility.
Considering the existence of local, privately sponsored UFO investigative
organizations, the ready availability of these records in the Washington
area would result in an inordinate workicad in clearing investigators,
providing documentation, and reviewing and clearing manuscripts.
Therefore, the Air University was queried about the possibility of
storing these documents at the Air Force Archives (Atch 15). Air Force
Air University will acept these records providing:
a. SAFOI will answer all requests about Blue Book, and not require AU
research to answer such queries.
b. SAFOI will rigidly limit the right of access to recognized,
legitimate researchers, and
c. SAFOI will screen researcher's notes to insure that
"confidentiality" is maintained (Atch 16).
10. Project Blue Book should be terminated, and Blue Book records should
be transferred to the USAF Archives at Air University. The attached
memorandum would initiate these actions.
RECOMMENDATION
11. That the memorandum be signed.
