**Project Sign** Reference

Linked from sidebar

From the Foreword (link to actual document in Blue Book archive) of Project Sign:

Project "Sign" was initiated by the Technical Intelligence Division, Air Materiel Command, and assigned Project Number XS-304, 22 January 1948, under authority of a letter from the Deputy Chief of Staff, Material, USAF. This letter is referenced C/S, USAF, 30 December 1947, subject "Flying Disks."

Assistance in analyzing the reported observations has been provided by other Divisions of Air Materiel Command in accordance with Technical Instructions TI-2185, Addendum No. 3, dtd 11 February 1948; subject: "Project Sign" -- Evaluation of Unidentified Flying Objects."

Analysis of the reported incidents, as an effort to identify astro-physical phenomena, is being accomplished by Ohio State University under contract with Air Materiel Command.

A special study has been initiated with the Rand Project in accordance with Air Corps Letter No. 80-10 dtd 21 July 1948 to present information that would serve to evaluate the remote possibility that some of the observed objects may be space ships or satellite vehicles.

Members of the Scientific Advisory Board to the Chief of Staff, USAF, have also supplied their services in a consulting capacity.

Excellent. Thanks for these. I think we have the same curse at times (spending too much time in Blue Book and related sources). I took a break from reading the Twining Memo here to check my reddit mail. Funny that should be at the top of your list!
