Maj. Hector Quintanilla, director of USAF's Project Blue Book, says a total of 1,060 reports of unidentified flying objects were submitted to USAF during 1966, the second highest year's total since Blue Book began keeping records 20 years ago.
The record high of 1,501 was in 1952; the annual average is 555. Of the 11,107 reports since 1947, 676 remain unidentified, 30 of them from 1966.
