Project Sign Progress Report, 1948

Department of WarIncident: 1948Various10 MB

This file contains an initial report from the Air Materiel Command regarding Project Sign. Project Sign was a 1948-1949 U.S. Air Force program to investigate the nature and origin of unidentified flying objects (UFO). The report details 100 UFO sightings from 1947-1948. The file also contains an article excerpted from “The Aeroplane,” an aviation-focused periodical magazine published between 1911 and 1968, titled “The Biology of the Flying Saucer.”

The description is the government’s own, from war.gov/UFO, released on July 10, 2026. The Pentagon calls these unresolved cases — publishing a file does not mean it shows anything anomalous.
