March 1967 Project Blue Book Packet with Original Manilla Envelope Address to Recipient Complete Official Government Documents
Project Blue Book was the code name for the systematic study of unidentified flying objects by the United States Air Force from March 1952 to its termination on December 17, 1969. As the result of the Condon Report (1968), which concluded there was nothing anomalous about UFOs, Project Blue Book was ordered shut down and ended, it had collected 12,618 UFO reports, and concluded that most of them were misidentifications of natural phenomena (clouds, stars, etc.) or conventional aircraft.
The collection here includes the original mailing envelope package addressed to the recipient in Maryland. My client has been working on this persons personal collection with many 60's and 70's protest and counter culture items, ephemera, records and political items.
This collection was mailed to, or at least address to this person, the name and address is handwritten.
