An 85-page administrative record of the Air Force response to the 1966 Scientific Advisory Board review of Project Blue Book. It shows officials trying to build a university-led scientific review for selected sightings while openly treating public relations as a core implementation problem. It is evidence of institutional process and communication strategy, not evidence that any individual sighting was extraordinary.

Key excerpts

“Arrangements [should] be made for a scientific team to investigate in depth certain selected sightings of UFOs. (p. 9)”
“Since the problem is 99% public relations, it is essential that the investigating teams have some modicum of skill in press relations. (p. 10)”
