Until now, access to Air Force UFO files has been limited
to those researchers who could afford to buy the expensive
collection of National Archives microfilms or who could

the project's web-site at http://www.bluebookarchive.org.

Project Blue Book Archive microfilm scans are now available on CD-ROM. Each CD contains
400dpi scans of all images from one roll of microfilm and costs only $9.95— less than a third

enhanced with software to increase legibility and are easy to print and share via email with other researchers.
