Blue Room
The "Blue Room" is the colloquial name for a classified facility at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base alleged to contain recovered UFO materials — possibly including non-human craft, biological remains, and associated documentation. The term appears in multiple UAP research sources spanning the 1950s through the 1990s, making it one of the most persistently referenced alleged UAP storage locations in the historical record.
Senator Goldwater's Denied Access
Senator Barry Goldwater (R-AZ), a Major General in the USAF Reserve, made multiple attempts to gain access to the Blue Room over the course of approximately a decade. In a 1975 public interview, Goldwater stated his belief that classified UFO materials were stored at Wright-Patterson. In a letter to UFO researcher Leonard Stringfield dated December 3, 1974, he acknowledged being denied access. A March 28, 1975 letter to an unknown researcher places his access attempt at approximately 1963 and describes the classification as "Above Top Secret." A 1981 letter to researcher Lee Graham stated that Goldwater knew of no one with access to the Blue Room and was unaware of any materials being relocated.
Goldwater's personal appeal to General Curtis LeMay resulted in LeMay becoming angry and ordering Goldwater never to raise the subject again — a striking reaction given Goldwater's senior rank and security clearances, consistent with the materials being protected under compartmentalized programs beyond standard Congressional oversight.
AFOSI Documentation
An April 27, 1953 AFOSI document records Captain Plandowski interviewing Master Sergeant Ralph Brown, who conveyed that Wright-Patterson held three flying saucers (one damaged, two functional) and the bodies of their pilots. This document predates Goldwater's access attempts and shows that institutional knowledge of Wright-Patterson as a storage site for recovered craft extended into the Air Force investigative apparatus by the early 1950s.
FOIA Confirmation of Film Destruction
In 1991, UFO researcher Brian Parks submitted a FOIA request about the Blue Room. USAF Colonel Eddie L. Anderson responded confirming that Blue Room-related materials — specifically including film — were destroyed on September 9, 1965. This date falls during LeMay's tenure as Air Force Chief of Staff (1961–1965) and roughly contemporaneously with Goldwater's access requests.
Connection to Whistleblower RB
Anonymous Marine whistleblower "RB" claimed that in December 1963 he was flown on a windowless plane from Cherry Point, North Carolina to an undisclosed location — within a three-hour flight range consistent with Wright-Patterson — where he guarded a 40-foot disc-shaped craft for two weeks. UAP Gerb speculates that the facility RB described may be the Blue Room or an associated structure.
