Project Blue Book had two goals:
- To determine if UFOs were a threat to national security, and
- To scientifically analyze UFO-related data.

Every time I read something about Project Blue Book what jumps out at me is the open acknowledgement by the American government that UFOs are real. They never attempted to hide the fact that UFOs were in our skies they just wanted to know where they came from and in typical government/military fashion, if they posed a threat. I suspect that even if the government came out today and told the population of the world that UFOs are very much real some people would have to see and touch one before they believed it!
