Here's a link to a sortable/searchable spreadsheet I've just created to list the Project Blue Book UFO files with an indication of the number of pages per file with links to each of those files (created as a precursor to some potential statistical projects, using material kindly shared by "Xtraeme" of AboveTopSecret.com):
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LAtbfZgQyBMvA7mqER7cewWI2xAD7BvjEfKKkljtP28/edit#gid=514297256

To search within the above document on Google, go to the "Edit" menu on the top left of the screen and use "Find and Replace" (or, I think, just press Ctrl H).


By the way, here are some more Project Blue Book indexes I uploaded a while ago:

(1) the collection of PDF files at the link below contain relatively high resolution redacted versions of Project Blue Book' s own index:

(2) the collection of PDF files at the link contains lower quality UNREDACTED copies of index pages (showing relevant names):
https://app.box.com/s/l6zf2pvs474li1tv8dd5

Each set of PDF index pages can either be downloaded individually or (by clicking on the download button on the top right of the relevant screen) you can download each entire collection.

Due to the quality of microfilm images/scans being used, the images are far from perfect and the searchable nature of the PDFs is limited - but I nonetheless find the results useful and am happy to share them.

Thanks for the links. Very helpful. See what you mean about some of the quality.....If ever there was the need for an AP, "CLEAN COPY", this shows that it is needed. I have noticed the same problem on many of the pages that are on the "Majestic" website, some are barely readable, like some of these. When I was constructing a map based on original 1857 field survey data the situation was much the same, on microfilm was tough going, all the more so in that it had been copied into fancy script, no typewriters back then.
