Just wondering how that data base is working out.

Out of all the various techniques suggested in this thread to download the full collection of Project Bluebook documents from the Fold3.com website (the new name for Footnote.com) and create an index/database of those documents, only one technique showed any real promise.

That one technique, suggested by Xtraeme and developed with a LOT of effort by him, is still being refined by him - but is beginning to pay real dividends.

Despite the initial interest in this thread, Xtraeme is the only one to have stuck with this project when it became clear that meeting the challenge I set in my OP involved a lot of work.

I'm reluctant to post much detail since the relevant story is really one for Xtraeme to tell (and get the credit for) - since he did all the relevant work. I'm just glad there are a few members like Xtraeme on ATS.

Cool so we can expect to see the smoking gun proof or those saucer schematics any day now, right?

Er, just in case I gave the wrong impression, I meant "real dividends" in terms of the challenge I set in the OP to download the entirety of the high resolution images of Project Bluebook documents on the Footnote.com/Fold3.com website - rather than real dividends in solving all the issues in relation to UFO reports. I'm sure Zorgon you are familiar with "The UFO Curse" which Philip J Klass bequeathed to the ufologists who publicly criticized him,or who even think unkind thoughts about him in private:

The UFO Curse, by Philip J Klass
"No matter how long you live, you will never know any more about UFOs than you know today. You will never know any more about what UFOs really are, or where they come from. You will never know any more about what the U.S. Government really knows about UFOs than you know today. As you lie on your own death-bed you will be as mystified about UFOs as you are today. And you will remember this curse."

Well in my circles I don't have to worry about that curse. I'll have to ask my source if I can release that sketch of the Star Drive yet... I'll let you know



But yeah a CD of all that would be nice to have, especially the high res photos.

Pay for something like that, I would... Yes Hmmmm?

truth is inside of you, inside your DNA and inside your consciousness...



ask and you shall recieve




i KNOW we are not alone



hugs

I look forward to reading about a test flight of a vehicle using that Star Drive. Until then...

Well see its like this.... the file is actually kinda sensitive... so I don't expect to hear on the results in the near future... but if we can cough up $30 million. my team assures me we can make a small prototype

But maybe if your nice and promise not to tell anyone... I might leak you a copy

But ya didn't get it from me...

Best thread I've read in months!!

Hey gang, just wanted to stop in and give a report. I've got the tool in a state where it runs and does what it was advertised to do. Isaac has been so generous to offer up his time to be my guinea pig ... er tester. There are still a couple of stubborn bugs. I hope by the end of the next month to release the entire thing to ATS. It'll be fun to see how quickly we can download the entire NARA Blue Book archive. Till then!

It's been my pleasure.

Just to be clear, though, Xtraeme has done all the work by himself. I've been in the privileged position of just pointed out some problems, without being able to contribute to their solutions.

Xtraeme's done a heck of a lot of work and I hope that, when he posts his solution, his considerable efforts get the recognition that they deserve.

Those blasted bugs...

Great... still watching developments. Will there be a DVD version? I would pay for that

Its time for me to BUMP this thread. Whatever your reading on ATS, stop reading it for a second and take a look at this. This is one of those threads that is a MUST READ. A lot of effort and time put into something like this.
