UFOs Are Real, Should Be Studied, Says Ex-Project Blue Book Director Col. Robert Friend [1]

Huff Post - Lee Speigel, 9/27/12

Retired Col. Robert Friend, a former director of the Air Force's nearly 20-year UFO study, Project Blue Book [2], says that science should continue looking into the mystery of flying saucers. Friend, assigned in 1958 to direct Blue Book, was charged with trying to determine if UFOs were a threat to national security and whether they could be of scientific interest.

"When I first took over the program, I wrote two staff studies, and in both instances, I recommended that [UFOs] be put into another agency which would give them full scientific investigations and analyses," Friend told The Huffington Post over the weekend at a special lecture titled "Military UFOs: Secrets Revealed [3]."
