Deletion of Estimate of the Situation

Comment: per  and . Edward J. Ruppelt's book, much cited in the article, is the definitive word on the Air Force's response during the early years of the UFO panic, in the late 40s & early 50s. There was an Air Force document by Project Sign called "Estimate of the Situation" which said that UFO sightings were extraterrestrial; it was submitted and went up the chain of command until Air Force chief of staff General Vandenberg rejected the analysis, and the copies were destroyed or lost. After Ruppelt's book was published in 1956, UFO enthusiasts seized on the mention of the report being destroyed, and started speculating that there was some kind of important information in it that the Air Force was trying to suppress. This went on, as everything in UFO-world does, for decades and decades and is still being discussed today

Comment: unless a majority of  sources can be found to justify a stand alone article that is apart from Project Sign. Right now the sourcing is 99% ufologists or credulous ufo books, which reflects what these people think is important, but it's not a mainstream viewpoint

Comment: to Project Sign. This article sits at the tricky interface between "enough coverage to show it's notable" and "too heavily fringey quality of coverage to source a good article" - also known as That Friggin' Cryptozoology Battle here on WP (sigh...). Our |fringe guidelines make it difficult to argue for a standalone article under these circumstances. Suggest merging to Project Sign, where treatment as a subtopic means that the sourcing requirements are more lenient and can probably be satisfied
