Background of the Report

In the wake of criticisms directed at the Condon Report by some scientific figures, including Dr. J. Allen Hynek of Project BLUE BOOK, the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) was commissioned in late 1968 to evaluate the report's scientific rigor and methodologies. The panel was tasked with reviewing the Condon Report’s approach and conclusions but did not undertake its own investigation into UFO reports.

Results

The NAS review concluded that the Condon Report represented a significant effort to apply scientific methods to the study of UFOs. The panel affirmed the credibility of the Condon Report's approach, stating, “We are unanimous in the opinion that this has been a very credible effort to apply…techniques of science to the solution of the UFO problem.”
