Ent AFB, Colorado: Ruppelt briefs Gen. Chidlaw and Air Defense Command staff on UFOs
In late September 1952 Edward J. Ruppelt briefed Gen. Benjamin W. Chidlaw and his Air Defense Command staff at Ent AFB, Colorado, on the past months of UFO activity; ADC liaison Maj. Vernon L. Sadowski voiced suspicion of a cover-up.
Background
Ruppelt visited the headquarters of the Air Defense Command at Ent AFB in Colorado to brief Gen. Benjamin W. Chidlaw and his staff on the past few months of UFO activity at a lunch at the officers' club. One of the attendees was Maj. Vernon L. Sadowski, the ADC intelligence liaison to Blue Book. Sadowski said that “no one can understand why Intelligence is so hesitant to accept the fact that something we just don’t know about is flying around in our skies, unless you are trying to cover up something big.” Eberhart cites Ruppelt's book (pp. 194–197). The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
