Edward J. Ruppelt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Ruppelt insisted, however, that at least during his tenure, conflict and confusion would be more accurately descriptive then to suggest that a deliberate cover up was taking place; Ruppelt once wrote that the Air Force's approach to the UFO question "was tackled with organized confusion." (Hynek, 175) Astronomer and Blue Book consultant J. Ruppelt was the director of Project Grudge from late 1951 until it became Project Blue Book in March 1952; he remained with Blue Book until late 1953. Ruppelt himself was open-minded about UFO’s, and his investigators were not known, as Grudge's were, for force-fitting explanations on cases."

Historical Report on UFOs Resurfaces Captain Edward J.

Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Project Blue Book However, according to Captain Edward J. Ruppelt, the first director of Project Blue Book, Sign's initial intelligence estimate, written at the end of the summer of 1948, concluded that the flying saucers were real craft, were not made by either the Russians or U.S., and were likely extraterrestrial in origin. Ruppelt referred to the era of Project Grudge as the "dark ages" of early USAF UFO investigation. Ruppelt's brief tenure at Blue Book is considered the high-water mark of public Air Force investigations of UFOs, when UFO investigations were treated seriously and had support at high levels. www.reference.com /browse/wiki/Project_Blue_Book   (2988 words)

J. Allen Hynek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Air Force Captain Edward J. Ruppelt (Blue Book's first director), held Hynek in high regard: "Dr. Hynek was one of the most impressive scientists I met while working on the UFO project, and I met a good many. Hynek has also stated his opinion that after Ruppelt's departure, Project Blue Book was little more than a public relations exercise, further noting that little or no research was undertaken using the scientific method. Though Hynek thought Ruppelt was a capable director who steered Blue Book in the right direction, Ruppelt headed Blue Book for only a few years. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Allen_Hynek   (1300 words)

Ruppelt, newly minted head of the USAF UFO project, and a physicist showed up at the General Mills facility.

2834.ufo The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects by Edward J. Ruppelt (Doubleday, New York, 1956).

The first edition ends with Chapter 17, "What Are UFOs?," and Ruppelt's own response, "Only time will tell."

A Short Introduction to Ufology - UFO Evidence In his classic account of his years spent as the director of Project Blue Book - the Air Force's official UFO "investigation" agency - Capt. Edward J. Ruppelt says unequivocally that "UFO is the official term that I created to replace the words 'flying saucers'" (Report on Unidentified Flying Objects, Doubleday, 1956, p. Presumably, this would have been sometime between 1951, when Ruppelt took over Project Grudge, later renamed Blue Book, and September of 1953, when he left the agency and the Air Force.

UFO sightings by Skyhook and Mogul balloon personnel The balloon when recovered was found to be ripped.  According to Ruppelt, the airmen, whom he knew, became confirmed saucer believers, as did many others with the N.M. balloon and missile projects, nearly all of whom had bewildering UFO sightings.  (See Ed Ruppelt visits the General Mills balloon launch people to ask them about their UFO experiences.  Ruppelt states (p. While the Oct. 11 main sighting was officially categorized as "Unidentified," for some reason the Oct. 10 sighting was called an "Aircraft."

Project Blue Book: Air Force Eyes on the Skies Ruppelt, Edward J., The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects (Doubleday, 1956).

The final report of the Grudge team listed 273 UFO sightings, of which 23% were classed as "unidentified." There seemed little to learn from UFO reports, and Air Force interest waned through 1950 and well into 1951. www.parascope.com /articles/0697/bluebook.htm   (1569 words)

The Report On Unidentified Flying Objects --The following excerpts are taken from Capt. Edward J. Ruppelt's book, The Report On Unidentified Flying Objects, first published in 1956. Capt. Ruppelt was Chief of the Air Force's "Project Blue Book" from 1951 to Sept. 1953, an operation of the "Air Technical Intelligence Center" (ATIC). The major, because of his short intelligence summary on UFO's, became the "expert." He had evidently conjured up "they" and "their later report" to support his Venus answer because the writers at the press conference had him in a corner. www.rense.com /general50/reports.htm   (8253 words)
