On 28 September 1965, a memo from Major General B LeBailly (US Air Force Director of Information) to the Military Director, Scientific Advisory Board, requested that a “working scientific panel composed of both physical and social scientists be organized to review Project Blue Book -- its resources, methods, and findings -- and to advise the Air Force as to any improvements that should be made in the program in order to carry out the Air Force's assigned responsibility”.
