On December 17... The U.S. Air Force began investigating Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) sightings and called it Project Blue Book. The investigations tried to determine the cause (if any) of these UFO’s. Often they were proven to be hoaxes or swamp gas. On this day in 1969 the Air Force closed the Blue Book investigations and stated that there was no evidence to support actual extraterrestrial activity behind the many alleged UFO sightings. The investigations began in 1947, and of the 12,618 sightings 701 remain unidentified. Copies of the Project Blue Book investigations are available to the public.
