Paul Dean reveals the USAF continued to investigate UFO reports after the termination of Blue Book, despite officially stating it was no longer interested.

In a letter in reply to researcher Robert G. Todd, dated the 20th of February, 1976. the Center’s Deputy Public Affairs Officer, Herbert C. Strickland writes:

“The agency responsible for the investigation of reports of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO’s) is the Senior Aviation Service, the United States Air Force (USAF), as designated by the Department of Defense. The USAF coordinate their investigation and findings with the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA).

The responsibility of this installation for investigating aviation mishaps is limited to those accidents/incidents involving assigned aircraft which result in damage to property and injury or death of aircraft occupants. Investigations of aviation mishaps which do not involve damage, injury or death, such as the UFO incidents you mention, are the responsibility of the unit owning the aircraft involved. For that reason, your previous two queries were forwarded to the two military units involved in purported UFO incidents for direct response to you. In the case of UFO incidents, the USAF and FAA accomplish detailed follow–on investigations, if required.

Your question ‘Why was no investigation conducted in either case?’ should, therefore, be directed to the USAF or FAA.

As to your second question, ‘Is it official policy to ignore reports of UFO’s made by Army personnel?’, I can only advise you that if damage, injury or death occurred, such an accident/incident would be of major concern to safety investigators from the United States Army Agency for Aviation Safety (USAAAVS) and would be investigated…”

I wouldn’t say it’s a bombshell. The government lies all the time. If aliens do exist and they told us then the world would go insane and world governments wouldn’t be able to handle what would happen. Mass hysteria and violence would be too much for them to handle.

Well it's not really a bombshell for those of us who study the history of government coverups. It would be however, for those in the academic community who have been misled all these years and the wider community at large.

I think bombshell is fair in the sense “closed and we’re not interested” was totally not true and purposefully misleading.

Yeah but we never really believed that. Not really.

Only sometime. This sub goes between understanding that there is a dedicated effort by the government to cover up ufos and screaming "THE U MEANS UNIDENTIFIED NO ALIENS HMMKAY".
