Following are excerpts from an article by RICHARD H. HALL at nicap dot org, entitled "1966: THE OVERLOOKED UFO WAVE AND THE COLORADO PROJECT".

A major wave of UFO sightings occurred in 1966; even by official Air Force figures it was the 4th largest in terms of sightings reported, yet no one talks about it. The special significance of the 1966 wave is that it occurred during the one full year of investigations by the University of Colorado UFO Project, and everyone deferred to the project in looking for "answers." The only answer was the Condon Report. This study analyzes the wave and demonstrates that the Colorado Project had ample case material to investigate during its lifetime, yet failed miserably to accomplish "scientific investigation." At the same time, publicity about the project obscured the sighting wave.

The "Great UFO Wave of 1966" is not exactly on the tip of every one's tongue. Few people even know it happened. Even fewer have studied it in any systematic way. Ironically, the best financed independent study of UFOs undertaken to date was in full operation during 1966, and was alerted rapidly to potentially important new cases as they occurred, yet it totally failed to come to grips with the problem of investigating UFO reports. The Colorado UFO Project was extremely superficial in its examination of cases that occurred during the life time of the project. Exactly why it failed to address the problem meaningfully when presented with such a golden opportunity is a matter best left to sociologists, psychologists, and historians of science.

This study is confined to a sampling of the type of "hard core" UFO report that the Colorado Project could have investigated, plus some analysis of political and UFO events that coincided in time. In 1966, NICAP (1) received 3,340 UFO reports and the U.S. Air Force received 937. Bloecher and Webb have established that there were more than 100 reports of humanoid UFO occupants worldwide in 1966.

From this large body of raw reports, NICAP determined that 273 could fairly be labeled "substantial" cases after follow-up investigation; the Air Force labeled 19 of its cases as "unidentified." Figure 1 in Part II compares these measures of U.S. cases with fragmentary information from around the world to give some idea of serious UFO reports made worldwide in 1966.

Of the approximately 113 UFO cases discussed in the Condon Report (2), 59 (about 52%) occurred in 1966. However, the 1966 cases selected for study were by no means the strongest available and -- interestingly enough -- they did not include any of the 19 Air Force "unidentified" cases for that year.

The second largest UFO wave of all time --1,112 official cases -- occurred in 1966 and hundreds of substantial cases were still fresh when the Colorado Project began, yet it studied only 12 cases from 1966 (three of which it lists as "unexplained.") These and other curiosities of the Colorado Project are discussed in the following sections.
