I found this in the National Archives. This is an interview with the head of project Bluebook and former spokesman for the U.S. Airforce. "To date we have over 10,000 cases of which only 646 remain unidentified ... that's not to say we could have identified more cases if we have gotten to the observer quicker."

On if the U.S. Airforce has hidden information on UFOs: "These charges are absolutely untrue, the U.S. Airforce actually releases statistics on UFO phenomena from the U.S. Dept. press desk periodically ... and we have always invited the press and media on a specific siting ... there is nothing to hide at all."

They claim project Bluebook has always been "completely unclassified." "There is nothing in the record to indicate we have always been visited by an advanced civilization." They do say the U.S. is the "only country in the world that places this much emphasis on the phenomenon." Conclusion, read at end, "no evidence that unidentified flying objects have been a threat to our national security."

Also to note, Edward Ruppelt, also former head of project Bluebook, admitted that all cases involving encounters with aliens were quickly disregarded and never investigated. He also admitted that they only investigated cases from "sophisticated" individuals. He also admits that their tactics were focused on debunking the cases. Their highest level of classification in their investigations is "unknown" meaning the way it was setup, they could never come out and say on any case that they were of extra terrestrial or NHI origin.

Same tactics are most likely used today. Also important to note is Edward Ruppelt and Project Bluebook had a pretty good system on how the phenomenon could be reported. They also would deflect back then to claim on procedures that could be used to better investigate the phenomena.
