USAF Project Blue Book Interview 1966

[Karl12]

So back in 1966 was to determine as to whether UFO's were a Threat to the National Security of the United States.

Yes I don't think they planned on the Blender memo getting out mate.

“Moreover, reports of unidentified flying objects which could affect national security are made in accordance with JANAP 146 or Air Force Manual 55-11, and are not part of the Blue Book system.”

“However, as already stated, reports of UFOs which could affect national security would continue to be handled through the standard Air Force procedures designed for this purpose.”

If cases like the Minot AFB B-52 UFO incident are not 'a threat to national security' then I don't know what is.
