Military Unit
The United States Air Force (USAF) is a branch of the U.S. military with responsibility for air and space operations, including defense of airspace, strategic deterrence, and rapid mobility. Among its many roles, it has historically been a lead actor in investigating what are now called Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP)—unusual observations in the sky that defy easy identification. Its involvement offers both a long record of investigation and a contrast point for understanding how UAPs are handled across different defense and scientific institutions.
Decades ago, the USAF initiated several official investigation programs to catalog and analyze reports of UFOs (now termed UAP). These include Project Sign (1947–1949), Project Grudge (1949–1952), and the best-known, Project Blue Book (1952–1969), run from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. During those years, it collected thousands of sighting reports; by the time Project Blue Book concluded, 12,618 cases had been logged, of which 701 remained “unidentified” after investigation. The USAF’s official findings during Blue Book remain clear: none of the investigated cases posed a confirmed threat to national security; no reports provided evidence of technology beyond the scientific knowledge of the time; and there was no verifiable proof of extraterrestrial origin.
After Blue Book was terminated on December 17, 1969, Air Force regulations governing UFO investigations were rescinded, and its investigative authority was formally closed. One particularly contentious event tied to the USAF is the Roswell Incident (1947). The Air Force conducted investigations and audits in later years. Its conclusion was that materials recovered were consistent with a balloon device used in classified programs—not extraterrestrial spacecraft—and that no credible evidence of alien bodies or technology was found.
Over time, much of the USAF’s activity in UAP/UFO investigation entered dormancy. According to its own fact sheet, since the end of Blue Book, the Air Force has stated that “nothing has occurred that would support a resumption of UFO investigations.” However, reporting and documentation of past programs remain in the public record through the National Archives. While the USAF no longer runs publicly acknowledged UFO/UAP programs like Blue Book, its legacy shapes how other organizations approach anomalies in the air. The standard of documentation, requirements for intelligence assessment, and criteria for determining threats can trace roots back to early USAF programs.
Newer efforts in the Department of Defense—such as task forces or evaluative bodies—often refer to or review USAF files for historical data. The USAF’s role is not peripheral—it is foundational. Its early investigations set both expectations and benchmarks. Its closures of those programs and its decisions about what evidence counts remain points of debate.
As newer UAP policy frameworks emerge, the USAF’s historical posture provides both a roadmap and a cautionary tale about how militaries deal with anomalous reports—balancing security, transparency, science, and public trust.
Retired USAF Lt. Col. Philip E. Moore : “I personally believe there is something to the UFO-ICBM connection. I know the Air Force covers up when it feels the official need. UFOs over ICBM sites could be one of those official needs.” We're being watched. And that's an understatement. Quote from Robert Hastings's UFOs and Nukes
A pair of classified videos allegedly showing a 100-foot black triangular UFO over a Colorado military base remain locked away despite President Trump’s new order aimed at encouraging more UFO whistleblowers to come forward, sources familiar with the footage told The Post. Two videos, recorded on a service member’s personal cellphone on consecutive nights in 2023, are among the pieces of evidence whistleblowers say still cannot be discussed or released publicly because they remain classified...
So... about the UFO captured on video that the air force won't release, can we trust this guy? I don't know much about politics and I live in another country... If anyone knows more about this story, I'd appreciate an explanation! A little more about this sighting: "Two videos recorded by a member of the military in 2023 reportedly show a triangular object approximately 30 meters in size over a base in Colorado. According to sources from the New York Post, the images are in the custody of the...

I want to say that @posting_shane is the real deal. This is a fantastic article, which everyone should read. https://t.co/VM8UeiHk5L [Quoted] UFO over Colorado base captured in video Air Force won't release: sources https://t.co/u4ZoqGaRS4 https://t.co/t4W3NEkQqr
It would be nice if we could get Grusch's true feelings (which, I suspect, is: this isn't even close to enough to protect whistleblowers and entice them to come forward) but I guess he has to play the political game. As far an Air Force video of black triangles? Let's see it. https://t.co/SI9M5x8WRU [Quoted] NEW: David Grusch expresses support for the Trump administration waiving NDAs and opening another reporting pathway (PURSUE) for UAP whistleblowers. Not only that, sources tell @posting_s...
I went into this story thinking Project Moon Dust was a classified Cold War program for recovering Soviet satellites that occasionally brushed up against UFO cases. After going through the Air Force records, Project Blue Book files, State Department cables, FOIA correspondence and decades of work by researchers including Kevin Randle, Clifford Stone, Robert Todd and Barry Greenwood, I don’t think that description goes far enough. Moon Dust and Blue Fly were a documented crash-retrieval archit...
