The newsies have been talking this one up. The Air Force had a UFO project going with a $22 million budget. This ain't news. The Air Force has had UFO studies going since 1948 (Project Blue Book). There was the Condon report in the 1970's. UFO's were first mentioned in the public press in 1947, so a 1948 Project Blue Book is getting right with the times.
And, when people see UFO's they tend to telephone someone, and someone is usually the Air Force. Or other agencies refer callers to the Air Force. And a lot of people see UFO's. I saw one myself years and years ago in Franconia Notch NH. For that matter I was on the flightline in Duluth MI the night we scrambled nuclear armed jet interceptors against a UFO that showed up on SAGE radar. So there are a lot of reports, and the Air Force, as a good bureaucratic organization, feels a duty to do something with all those reports, if only to file them.
So I don't find the latest $22 million UFO study to be unusual. The Air Force has been doing these studies for better than 65 years.
