Declassified on July 23, 1997, Project Grudge was originally released in August of 1949 as a SECRET Report by the headquarters of the Air Materiel Command, Wright Patterson Air base, Dayton Ohio.
Approved by Lt. Col. Hemstreet and Col. Watson, it is 406 pages long and covers a large number of UFO sightings along with investigation analysis, conclusions, and supplementary reports.
There are approximately 370 incidents on record, only incidents No. 1 thru 244 are encompassed in this report. Of the later incidents, many have not yet been investigated, few have been completely tabulated, and none have been submitted to the consulting agencies.
It is certain that better over-all results will be obtained in the analysis of the later reports, as these incidents generally have been more completely investigated. Since 5 December 1948, a series of recurring phenomena described as b green fireballsb have been reported in the general vicinity of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Dr. Lincoln La Paz, noted meteoritic expert, has been directly, though unofficially, associated with the investigation of these sightings and has himself observed the phenomena, Dr. La Paz states he is convinced the green fireballs are not ordinary meteors.
This group of incidents has little or nothing in common with other incidents on file with Project
Grudge, therefore, these incidents are not considered in this report. The Scientific Advisory Committee was asked to investigate this matter and had advised that an independent investigation be conducted in the field of atmospheric research.
After eliminating several additional incidents due to vagueness and duplication, there were 228 incidents, which are considered in this report. Thirty of these could not be explained, because there were found to be insufficient evidence on which to base a conclusion on. It is important to stress that Project Grudge was one of three acknowledged U.S. Air Force projects dealing with UFO investigations, there were 2 other government projects, Sign and Blue Book. Between 1948 (the creation of Project Sign) and 1969 (Project Blue Book was officially terminated) 12,618 UFO reports were investigated by personnel assigned to these three projects. According to the Air Force, out of this total only 701 UFO reports remained unexplained.
