A Strong "Re-evaluation" of Project Blue Book and UFOs...

Dr. Kevin Randle is one of a relative handful of UFO investigators who deserves to be taken seriously. A retired Air Force Captain, Randle has spent over a quarter-century investigating UFO sightings, and he has earned a reputation for thorough research and objectivity that is rare in this field of study. Unlike many UFO "True Believers" who treat the subject as a religion and who seem to believe that every UFO sighting is "proof" of alien visitation, Randle isn't afraid to admit that many sightings are hoaxes or otherwise explainable as "normal" phenomena (Birds, Stars, Ball Lightning, etc.), and he is highly skeptical of all UFO "Abduction" reports. However, Randle also believes that the testimony of thousands of competent, reliable, and often well-trained UFO witnesses cannot simply be ignored, and that some UFO sightings are indeed baffling and worthy of serious study by qualified scientists. In "Project Blue Book Exposed", Randle presents one of his best books to date. "Project Blue Book" was the code name for the US Air Force's top-secret investigation of UFO sightings from 1947 to 1969, when it was shut down. At the time the Air Force claimed that its' 22-year investigation had revealed that UFOs were simply hoaxes or natural phenomena, and that UFOs were not from outer space and posed no threat to national security. However, as Randle makes painfully clear in this book, the Air Force's claims were false and misleading. Randle finds dozens of unexplained cases in Blue Book's files, and he discovers that the pressure on Blue Book's staff to explain away every sighting led to the staff often "making up" explanations for sightings out of thin air, without even a brief investigation or interviews with the eyewitnesses. As Randle makes clear, some of the Air Force's "explanations" of various UFO sightings were themselves scientifically implausible, or ran contrary to the evidence contained in the files. Beginning with Kenneth Arnold's famous sighting in June 1947 that "started" the UFO Phenomenon in America, Randle takes several of the most famous UFO cases contained in Project Blue Book's files and re-examines them. His conclusion is that, contrary to Air Force claims, Project Blue Book actually offered strong, convincing evidence that UFOs ARE real, and that something strange was going on in America's skies in the forties, fifties, and sixties, and may still be continuing even today. If you're a UFO "buff", then this book should be a "must" for your personal library, but even if you're a general reader you'll find "Project Blue Book Exposed" to be an insightful and informative account of an important government investigation whose findings - if they are correct - could help answer one of the greatest mysteries of our time.
