HOW TO MAKE FLYOBRPTS Dated 25 July, 1953

21-December-2000 In association with The UFO Coalition, Dr. Michael Swords is the custodian of the papers of Edward Ruppelt, head of Project Grudge (later renamed Blue Book) from 1951 through 1953 and author of the seminal UFO work The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects (Doubleday, 1956.) From the Ruppelt Papers, Dr. Swords provided a copy of this guide to Jan Aldrich of Project 1947 and in turn, Jan provided it to CUFON for on-line publication. This guide, written in 1953, was intended for US Air Force intelligence officers and others who might have to make UFO reports (“Flying Object Report = FLYOBRPT”.) It cites as its authority Air Force Letter 200-5 (AFL 200-5) which preceded Air Force Regulation 200-2. This guide contains all the different report forms:

• Ground Observer’s Information Sheet • Electronics Data Sheet (radar) • Airborne Observer’s Data Sheet and, • Supporting Data form

and also some statistics that may have not seen the light of day (for many years) until now. Because this document was part of the Ruppelt Papers and because of the issue date of this guide, we suspect that Edward Ruppelt may have written it, but have no proof of this. - Jim Klotz - CUFON SYSOP - Dale Goudie - Information Director
