Project Grudge was a US Air Force project that ran from 1949 to 1951, succeeding Project Sign, and was designed to investigate UFO sightings. It differed from its predecessor by adopting a more dismissive and skeptical approach, often attributing UFO sightings to mundane phenomena. This shift was driven by several factors, including a desire to counter public hysteria about extraterrestrial life, concerns about the Cold War, and the influence of sensationalized media reports. While Project Grudge dismissed many credible sightings, it also investigated several intriguing cases, like the Gorman Dogfight and the Carson Sink Incident, which remain unexplained. Despite its skepticism, Project Grudge ultimately failed to quell public interest in UFOs and contributed to distrust in government explanations of the phenomena. It was succeeded by Project Blue Book in 1952, which aimed for a more systematic approach to UFO research. https://www.dbl07.co/seo-augusta-ga/
