Project Grudge and the Monmouth UFO Incident

#ufoキャッチャー #newjersey #uap
On episode 350 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we dig deep into the early files of Project Grudge. Intended to alleviate public anxiety over UFOs and persuade the public that UFOs constituted nothing unusual or extraordinary, Project Grudge sought to explain away UFO sightings. Officials recommended that the project be reduced in scope because the very existence of Air Force interest encouraged people to believe in UFOs. Eventually, the Air Force announced the project's termination in December of 1949. However, it would come to light that it was actually still in operation, albeit covertly, until late 1951. And one of the cases investigated was that of the Fort Monmouth UFO in New Jersey. Buried deep in what many believe was a coverup, the most detailed version would come to light through the words of the man who ran Project Grudge, and eventually, Project Blue Book; Edward J. Ruppelt.

Glad that Captain Ruppelt was discissed at some length here, Ryan. He was certainly an important figure in the early history of ufology. His book, THE REPORT ON UFOs is a must read for those researching the subject. Ruppelt was evidently placed under a great deal of pressure to change his views after writing it. Ruppelt did a revised version which added three skeptical chapters that contradict everything he had written previously. Ruppelt suffered several heart attacks, and died at only 37 in 1960. The book is in the public domain now I believe, and a new edition of the original version has appeared in recent years for those interested.

We used to have the same at Bottomless Lake just east of Roswell, NM in the late 60’s :)
