1968 : The End but Not

Project Blue Book was winding down, swirling like water down a sink, and not fast enough for the staff and officials.The conclusions are brisk and steady with rubber stamp rapidity. The old favorites are in play: probable aircraft, astronomical objects (Sirius neck and neck with Venus), and a favorite team was eyeing the finish line: Plasma and Insufficient Data.

Oddly, June - November saw a lot of similar events being recorded and just as similarily discounted.

 June 30, 1968, New Albany, Indiana - file is 487 pages long. AF wanted to discredit the report due a single witness, witness had knowledge of the Socorro, NM sighting when he reported his egg shaped object with four red lights that formed a square. Yet, the file is packed with sightings from the area by diverse and often well qualified witnesses in recent years of things seen in the skies.
July 11- Filson AB, Alaska
July - Medford, OR
July 30, Bringhamton, NY
August 15 - Zenia to Yellow Springs, Oh . 4 witnesses. Gold and white object, "piece of pie" shape with corners rounded off, flying tip up, plate or round, light bright enough to illuminate road and surroundings. AF inisted it was the moon but witnesses dismissed that due to size and erratic motion.
August 19 - Moalsville, WVA
August 21, Robstown, TX
August - Memphis, Tenn
August 30- Hamilton, Ohio
Sept-6-7 , Charleston, Indian,
Sept 7 - Aiken, SC

In October and still notorious Minot AFB.
Nov. 17, Bridgeport, Ohio
Nov. 19, Acton, Texas
Nov. 20, Bronx, NT
Nov. 21 - Silver Bay, Minn

November 29 would also see events in Hazelwood, Missouri that Hynek found extremely interesting, and an alleged sighting of the planet Venus in Silver Bay Minnesota that has an intriguing sentence in the report.

The majority of these last sightings all bear an uncommon similarity and the only differences are due to distance from object, perspective of the object from where witness stood, and similar features.

"object is similar to others reported in Duluth area recently. This seems to be a common pattern, with sightings in areas continuing for several days." --- Project Blue Book files November 1969, Silver Bay, Minnesota.
