DOW-UAP-D092, Department of the Air Force Committee to Review Project Bluebook, 1966-1967
This file, released by the U.S. Department of War in a 2026 UFO records disclosure, is a Department of the Air Force document associated with the USAF Scientific Advisory Board's Ad Hoc Committee to Review Project Blue Book. According to the releasing agency, the committee deliberated during 1966-1967 and recommended that the Air Force contract a scientific team of university-affiliated researchers to investigate selected UFO sightings — a recommendation the USAF subsequently adopted (leading to what became the Condon Committee study). The scanned page itself is of poor OCR quality and appears to list attendees for a committee meeting held on April 17, 1967, including representatives from NASA and other offices. The document is part of the war.gov UAP release series (item DOW-UAP-D092).
