Col Garrett1/l.,\\ii/-+4,..,5..,.44-.-­\nDirector of Intelligence\nFROM:\n1.\nBy letter fran this Headquarters, dated 30 December 1947 \\dth subject\nas above, the Canmanding General, Air liateriel Command is instructed to\n11set up\na project whose purpose is to collect, collate, evaluate and distribute to\ninterested government agencies and contractors all information concerning si ght­\nings and phenanena in the atmosphere which can be construed to be of concern to\nthe national security\".\n2.\nThe Commanding General, hir Materiel Command feels that the responsibility\nassigned to him for collecting and developing i nformation and intelligence on the\n11 flying discs II should be complemented by a ·requirement that all Air Force installa­\ntions in the United states and Alaska provide a minimum of one each f i ghter or\nnight interceptor type aircraft, with necessary crews, on a continuous alert basis,\nThese aircraft should be equipped with gun camera, and such annament as deemed\nadvi .sable, in order to secure photographs necessary to the obtairment of all\npossible data on arry reported and sighted unusual phenanena, of the \"flying disc\"\ntype, i n the atmosphere.\n3. It is envi saged that each Ai r For ce installati on maintaining aircraft on\nan al ert basis for this purpose would i nvestigate all unusual fzyi ng objecte\nreported fran any source in any area over which it has cognizance. Such a program\nwould obviously require a detailed Standar d Operating Procedure, in the preparation\nof which Air Materiel COOlllla.nd should cooperate.\n4.

The proposal of Air !fateriel Command for stationing fighter aircraft at all\nbases on a continuous alert status is not considered feasible for the followiQ5 reasons:\na .\nThe outlay of aircraft and personnel would be too great consistent m.th\nthe results to be obtained.\nA\nb. Proper interception is not possible, except by acci dent, without complete\n._dar coverage which the Air Force is not capable of providirg.\nc. It is doubtful if fighter aircraft would be able to follow up reports\nemanatir:g, for the most part, from civilian sources.\n2. It is recommended that Air Materiel Command's responsibility for 11collectirg\"\ninformation on unusual phenomena in the at~osphere be confined to the establishment of\ndirect channels for the receipt of such information.\nJ. It is f1.irther recommended that in lieu of the proposal of Air Materiel Command,\nall other major commands be directed to cooperate with Air Materiel Command and to che.nn 1\ninformation directly to that command .\nS • E.
