Here is a bid more from De Void on this case, which IMHO is now looking like one of the most impressive of all time.
all the best
...Blue Book’s faulty reconstruction of this event would be scandalous had it been instigated by anything other than UFOs

karl,
Here's a bit more from De Void about Bill Smith, now a professor, not only continuing to speak up about his experiences at Minot, but using them in the classroom. A most impressive guy.

Looking forward to more excellent karl12 threads in 2012.
all the best for the New Year
Last summer, in what was unquestionably the most ignored UFO development of the year, Minnesota researcher Tom Tulien produced a thoroughly stunning analysis of that event, as part of an ongoing Sign Oral History Project investigation. The story got no media, but the record remains accessible online for the benefit of those who insist there’s no UFO material worth studying..

Honestly, you could have the majority of your self indulgent thread bumps in your original thread post?
...I also posted in these threads tonight and I suppose the main reason is to try and garner more attention for many of the truly interesting (and unexplained) UFO cases as they seem to receive little or no post traffic from armchair debunkers or UFO cynics.

Maybe those "armchair debunkers" as you like to broadly paint them in order to belittle their posts and make yourself feel all high and mighty (but ultimately makes you look like a stereotypical ufo enthusiast) don't see the serious added value exploring things like this that are so old, and new information isn't worth it's salt other than to feed some dough eyed believers religious like fantasy about UFOS.... But I do understand your desire to explore old crap that can't really be looked into any more... allowing you to continue your fantastical beliefs. Makes sense. If you wasted your time with more modern sightings... you would be depressed and give up, because the modern state of "ufology" is a joke. By living in the past you are trying to distance yourself from this joke any way you can...[etc]

IMHO karl's a better scientist than most members of the US National Academy of Sciences. But I don't believe in karl's aliens.

In my humble opinion, aside from the story, this case is unique in the respect that it includes quantifiable data sets in the form of radarscope photographs that can be (have been) examined by physical scientists. It also includes a remarkable amount of documentation, as well as personal communications, that allow insight into the process of the investigation and attitudes of the responsible officials..
Minot AFB 1968
With sightings of luminous objects being reported by Air Force security teams around the Strategic Air Command missile silos near Minot Air Force Base, Minnesota, an inbound B-52 was asked to keep a look out. A ground radar painted an unknown target near the plane. Shortly thereafter the B-52's bomb/nav radar detected unusual echoes. Probably in late 2004 I was first asked by the principal investigators to advise on the unusual type of radar involved and assist in interpretation of the 'scope photographs. As so often, the extant technical data and documentary records proved to be both voluminous and frustrating. A steep and engrossing learning curve led, several years later, to the completion of this report - a small part of the larger ongoing project to fully document what remains a genuine, if inconclusive, mystery.
