Pentagon Letter Confirms Post-Blue Book UFO Reporting Mandate via JANAP-146
When Project Blue Book was officially terminated in December 1969, the U.S. Air Force publicly declared it was out of the UFO business.
Narration
One classified Pentagon letter shattered everything the Air Force publicly announced.
December 1969: the Air Force declared Project Blue Book closed and finished.
Dr. J. Allen Hynek, Blue Book's own scientist, studied the letter and understood its implication.
JANAP-146(E) remained fully in force: military personnel still required to report unknown aerial objects.
The Aerospace Defense Command quietly retained responsibility for unknown aerial phenomena through classified channels.
The Air Force said it was finished. The documents said otherwise. Who was meant to know?
