Project Blue Book 2.0: A Permanent US Government Office of UAP
Investigations?

It was also learned in recent days that legislation contained within
the FY 2022 National Defense Authorization Act recommends the
establishment of a permanent govt office to address UAP on an
ongoing basis. If it comes to fruition, this will mark the first time
the United States has had such a dedicated effort to study UAP since
the closure of Project Blue Book, a long-running systematic study
carried out during the 1950s and 60s by the US Air Force.

"Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act,
the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Director of
National Intelligence, shall establish an office within the Office of
the Secretary of Defense to carry out, on a Dept-wide basis, the
mission currently performed by the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task
Force as of the date of the enactment of this Act," a portion of the
proposed legislation reads.

As Tim McMillan recently reported about this new development, "the
Armed Services Committee's proposed legislation would replace the
current temporary Task Force with a permanent office solely dedicated
to performing DoD-wide investigation of unidentified aerial phenomena."

While the newly proposed govt office of UAP studies may
represent the most significant indication to date that the United
States is taking the issue seriously, success is not guaranteed by
govt involvement alone. In fact, a look to the past shows that
similar efforts decades ago resulted in few conclusions about the
nature of mysterious aerial phenomena. In light of this, is it
reasonable to expect that similar efforts in the years to come might
be any different?

Days of Future Past

If any future office is to produce meaningful results with its study
of UAP, understanding why past govt studies have failed to
resolve the issue is of key significance. One obvious reason for past
failures has to do with the complex nature of the phenomenon being
studied. Even after several decades, there is still far too little
data about UAP available to aid in making conclusions about what it
is, or what its origins are.

However, another reason has to do with the attitudes of scientists
who, at the time, had been tasked with assessing what data the
govt did manage to collect during the Project Blue Book
years. These scientists not only had a significant influence on Blue
Book's leadership at the time, but also produced conclusions that were
not only premature in their assessments about UAP but were also
riddled with biases.

"Careful consideration of the record as it is available to us leads us
to conclude that further extensive study of UFOs probably cannot be
justified in the expectation that science will be advanced thereby,"
reads a portion from Section One of the report of the University of
Colorado UFO Project, a study sponsored by the US Air Force and led
by physicist Edward U. Condon. "It has been argued that this lack of
contribution to science is due to the fact that very little scientific
effort has been put on the subject," the report read.

"We do not agree," the report's authors stated.

"We feel that the reason that there has been very little scientific
study of the subject is that those scientists who are most directly
concerned, astronomers, atmospheric physicists, chemists, and
psychologists, having had ample opportunity to look into the matter,
have individually decided that UFO phenomena do not offer a fruitful
field in which to look for major scientific discoveries."
