Let's take a closer look at that investigation.
George Saron says he called up every military base in Texas.
And just like with John's investigation, they all say they know nothing about the UFO or the helicopters.
And official military logs back up that statement.
Those logs were entered into evidence, and apparently there were no official flights scheduled in that area on December 29th, 1980.
except there's a pretty big asterisk on that statement.
Saron admits that his probe didn't include any classified records, which means he couldn't have ruled out the military, not entirely.
So it's possible it was a top secret operation.
And yet the judge in the case seems to just take Saron's word that it wasn't.
But get this, a report released by the US House Committee in 1983 showed that the military allocated a substantial sum of money for a classified project in October, 1980, just two months before the incident.
They set aside $11.5 million for it.
And when asked what the project was, George Soran, the government's lead investigator, basically just shrugs.
He says he doesn't know what that project is.
There's no pressing the issue because there's no forcing the government to declassify documents.
Betty Cash and Vicki Landrum both die without answers.
Colby disappears from the public eye entirely.
After their case is dismissed, many go on to doubt Betty and the Landrums' claims, accusing the women of either exaggerating their symptoms or ascribing unrelated health problems to support their false claims.
But here's what I'll say.
You might not have heard of Dr. J. Allen Hynek before, but if you're tuning into this show, you've probably heard of Project Blue Book.
