Bolender memo on terminating Bluebook
On 20 October 1969, Brigadier General C H Bolender wrote a memo recommending termination of Project Blue Book. He stated that “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”. Thus although “termination of Project Blue Book would leave no official federal office to receive reports of UFOs”, he commented that “reports of UFOs which could affect national security would continue to be handled through the standard Air Force procedures designed for this purpose”
