◉ SIGNAL: The special 1947 UFO 'Blue Book' from the Majestic Documents mentioned in Tranche 5 - New from Geoff Cruikshank [r/UFOB]

On page 80 of the Air Materiel Command Report on Unidentified Flying Objects, 1947-1948 from the Tranche 5 release, there is a curious annotation:

The date that this annotation was made is September 24, 1947 - 5 years before Project Grudge became Project Blue Book. This is exactly what Scotty Miler stated in his “Burned Memo” cover letter from June 30, 1999:

The Top-Secret BLUE BOOK/MAJIC report Miler mentions here is Lt. General Nathan Twining’s “Mission Assessment of Recovered Lenticular Aerodyne”, of September 19, 1947 - otherwise known as the White-Hot report. Twining’s now declassified “AMC Opinion on Flying Discs” from September 23, 1947 is not one of these documents delivered to Washington DC by TS courier, as it was classified at the lesser SECRET level.

As the image above clearly shows, Project Blue Book was not created from Project Grudge until 1952.

Pages 76-81 from the new release gives context; the TOP SECRET files and the “Blue Book” were delivered by the safe hands of a TS-cleared courier from the Air Materiel Command at Wright Patterson AFB to the Commanding General of the Army Air Force in Washington DC, to the attention of AC/AS-2 Major General George McDonald. The annotation was added on the day the items were sent, reminding the sender to return the drawing of Alfred Loedding’s designs for flying discs (which were patented and therefore commercially sensitive) and the Blue Book.

As I have documented in previous articles, Miler’s unredacted letter is now available, thanks to Ryan Wood and researchers Kellie Hughes, Sam Milodragovich and Rennie Fletcher.
