It's safe to say that the classified UFO project would have had a scientific and research component, a group of field investigators and operators from the military and intelligence agencies, a supervisory board, a security and counter-intelligence component, and so on.  According to Ruppelt and others, these things did exist on some level and may well still exist today.

The classified investigation was probably called something like "A casual investigation into the pollination patterns of American Bees in relation to the growth of pineappples", so we'll never come across links to the UFO phenomenon if we look just for the name of it.

Very likely funded by the Department of Agriculture, the Department of the Interior or something like that, at least on paper.

interesting. it at least proves that the US government has been lying about doing more research than Project Blue Book.

Another important aspect of the project would have been public relations and media control, and we know how that worked.  As early as 1948, the policy was "not tp present to the press information on those objects which we cannot identify or about which we cannot present any reasonable conclusions.  In the event that they insist on some kind of statement, it is suggested that they be informed that many of the objects sighted have been identified as weather balloons or astral bodies, and that investigation is being pursued to determine reasonable explanations for the others."

At least, they would provide some kind of explanation that sounded "reasonable", at least to those who had no other information about it and no access to the real records.  That has been the standard may of dealing with the public and media on UFOs for many years.

its funny how these documents kind of prove that blue book was a farce.

the one thing i would like to hear the government try to explain the sightings of the late 1800's before the first world war when we know it couldn't be an airplane that they seen flying around because there were no man made aircraft back then. no black budget either. i dont think the US military secretly developed airplanes in the days of the old west.

i cant remember what they said the 1996 pheonix lights were. did they say it was flares or a flight of f-16's? some of these explanations are a joke. the video and witness reports show it obviously was something other than traditional air force tech. 100% not flares, the video is proof of that. i can even see that from working on CFB Cold Lake and watching the video.
