Montana Discovery Investigation

What makes the 1960 Montana incident significant in UFO history?
The 1960 Montana Aerial Anomaly represents a pivotal threshold case that bridged isolated 1950s incidents with the systematic investigation protocols of the 1960s discovery era. The extended documentation series demonstrates early adoption of multi-witness testimony analysis and technical evidence preservation methodologies.
How extensive is the Montana incident documentation?
The Montana investigation spans 4 detailed case files (1960-montana-incident-65 through 65_003), representing one of the most thoroughly documented early 1960s encounters. This extensive documentation established precedents for systematic case file organization and witness testimony preservation.
What investigation methodologies were pioneered in this case?
The Montana case introduced multi-stage investigation protocols including initial witness interviews, technical analysis documentation, follow-up verification procedures, and comprehensive case file compilation - methodologies that became standard for 1960s discovery era investigations.
How does this case connect to the broader 1960s awakening?
The Montana incident occurred at the precise threshold of 1960, marking the transition from isolated incident reporting to systematic scientific investigation. Its documentation protocols influenced the broader scientific awakening that characterized the 1960s discovery decade.

1960s Scientific Awakening

What defined the 1960s as the "Decade of UFO Discovery"?
The 1960s marked a scientific awakening in UFO investigation, characterized by systematic documentation protocols, coordinated research initiatives, and the establishment of legitimate academic interest in aerial phenomena. This decade transformed UFO research from isolated incident reporting to coordinated scientific inquiry.
How extensive is the 1960s discovery documentation?
The 1960s discovery analysis encompasses 7 comprehensive documents (1960s-decade-of-discovery through _006), providing detailed examination of the systematic transformation in UFO investigation methodologies, scientific protocols, and research coordination during this pivotal decade.
What scientific protocols emerged during this awakening?
The 1960s scientific awakening established standardized investigation methodologies including systematic witness testimony documentation, technical evidence preservation protocols, multi-agency coordination procedures, and academic research legitimization frameworks.
How did the decade transform UFO research approaches?
The 1960s discovery era transformed UFO research from anecdotal incident collection to systematic scientific investigation, establishing coordinated research networks, standardized documentation protocols, and academic legitimacy for aerial phenomena studies.

Discovery Era Transition Analysis

How does 1960 represent a threshold year in UFO investigation?
1960 represents the critical threshold between isolated incident reporting of the 1950s and systematic scientific investigation of the 1960s. The Montana incident exemplifies this transition, occurring precisely at the decade boundary with documentation methodologies that would define the discovery era.
What makes this mega-FAQ unique in the consolidation project?
Mega-FAQ-149 captures the pivotal moment of transition from isolated phenomena to systematic discovery, combining extended single-case documentation (Montana) with comprehensive decade-spanning analysis (1960s awakening). This represents the threshold where individual incidents became part of larger scientific inquiry.
How do these source files demonstrate investigation evolution?
The source files demonstrate investigation methodology evolution from the Montana incident's pioneering multi-stage documentation through the 1960s discovery decade's comprehensive scientific awakening protocols, showing the transformation of UFO research into legitimate scientific inquiry.
What research protocols were established during this era?
The discovery era established foundational research protocols including systematic case file organization, standardized witness testimony procedures, technical evidence documentation frameworks, and coordinated multi-agency investigation methodologies that became standard for scientific UFO research.
How does this documentation serve the broader consolidation project?
This mega-FAQ serves as threshold documentation in the UFO Database Consolidation Project, capturing the critical transition from isolated incidents to systematic scientific investigation. It represents batch 1725-1734 processing in the comprehensive analysis of 190,233 total files.
