Pentagon: USAF UFO investigations ongoing
USAF Pentagon spokesman Maj. Carl R. Hart informed NICAP that UFO probes involve hundreds of intelligence personnel and top scientists from government and private labs. Lt. Col. Spencer Whedon revealed costs of about $10,000 per major case.
Background
Offizielle Aussagen zur UFO-Untersuchung Am 25. Mai 1962 erklärte Maj. Carl R. Hart, Sprecher des USAF-Pentagons, gegenüber der NICAP, dass die Luftwaffe bei UFO-Fällen Hunderte von Intelligence-Offizieren einsetzt. Er betonte die Beteiligung bester Experten aus staatlichen Labors sowie kommerziellen Einrichtungen. Zudem habe J. Allen Hynek mit weltweit führenden Wissenschaftlern gesprochen.
Kosten und Ressourcen Zur selben Zeit gab Lt. Col. Spencer Whedon von ATIC an, dass jede umfangreiche Sichtungsanalyse etwa 10.000 Dollar kostet. Dies unterstreicht den intensiven Einsatz von Mitteln (Quelle: „AF Admits UFO Probe Still in Full Operation,“ UFO Investigator 2, no. 4 (März/Juli 1962): 2).
Bedeutung Die Enthüllungen zeigen, dass USAF-UFO-Programme trotz öffentlicher Skepsis aktiv waren, mit hohem Personal- und Budgetaufwand. Sie widerlegen Vorwürfe mangelnder Ernsthaftigkeit und heben Kooperationen hervor.
