Correspondence Relating to Project Blue Book 1955

Summary

DOW-UAP-D096 is a 220-page U.S. Air Force correspondence file relating to Project Blue Book from 1955, of which only the opening 20 pages contain OCR-extracted text. The readable text includes a January 1955 letter from Kenneth Hansen, a student at Richmond Hill High School in Queens, New York, who asked Project Blue Book for material about flying saucers so that he and two classmates could argue the interplanetary interpretation in a class speech. Hansen notes that two students in the class claimed to have seen a UFO and that the group showed pictures of U.F.O.s taken by George Adamski at Palomar Observatory. He asks whether the Air Force has any leaflets or slide pictures he could buy. The remaining pages of the correspondence file were not captured by OCR.
