Hill Air Force Base

Hill Air Force Base, founded in 1940, is a U.S. government military installation in Utah, USA. Primarily focused on aircraft maintenance, logistics, and support for Air Force operations, it has had minimal tangential involvement in UAP/UFO matters. Declassified files document a 1949 sighting by two airmen of disc-shaped objects near the base's salvage yard, prompting a brief investigation by the 16th District Office of Special Investigations, which did not conclusively identify the objects. No evidence links Hill AFB to formal UFO research programs like Project Blue Book, headquartered elsewhere. Officials state the base does not investigate UFO claims unless directed by Air Force Headquarters and has received no recent reports. It remains active in its core defense roles with no notable UFO-related achievements.
