   "text": "To date, the Air Force has undertaken to investigate and analyze .ab~ut\n1500 reports dealing with these phenomena.\nAB before, most of the reports were\nidentified and disposed of as friendly aircraft erroneously reported, known\nelectronic and meteorological phenomena, light aberrations, hoaxes, and other\nlmown natural occurrences or man-made objects.\nThe unexplained reports, however, which are in the order of 20 percent of\nthe total, cannot be definitely associated with these familiar things.\nDifficulty in Evaluating Reports\nThe difficulty in disposing of these unexplained reports is based largely\nupon the insufficiency of accurate basic data such as size, shape, composition\nand flight characteristics (speed, acceleration, altitude, exact maneuver pattern,\netc.) of the objects.\nAlthough some instruments which are useful in obtaining more accurate data\nof this type have been available, the reports baaed on sightings with these\ninstruments have been very infrequent and comprise an extremely small percentage\nof the total. Moreover, even these reports have not included much of the\ninformation required.\nBecause of the inadequacy of this basic data, the Air Force has in the past\ndevoted its efforts primarily to determining whether these unexplained sightings\nindicated the existence of a menace to the United States.\nInitially it was\nbelieved that some pattern might evolve from tho study of a large volume of\nreports.\nTo date, no pattern has materialized to reveal anything whatsoever\nwhich can be interpreted as indicative of purpose or consistency or which can be\nconstrued as a menace to the United States. Nonetheless, since these unexplained\nsightings persist, the Air Force will continue its investigations, giving the\nproblem adequate but not frantic attention.\nIt is now felt, however, that reports from people whose training and\nexperience in observing aerial objects qualify them to obtain essential data\nare the only ones likely to produce material suitable for systematic analysis.\nThe Air Force is planning to provide additional tools to help these observers\nobtain the basic data it needs.\nReports of similar phenomena go back to Biblical times. There have boen\nflurries of them in various centuries. The current series of sightings began\ngenerally in 1946.\n-There are many reasons why the volume of these reports has increased\nmaterially during the past few years. Aerial activity originated by man ha.s\nincreased, and people today have a greater curiosity about this activity than\nbefore. Also, our present efficient connnunication facilities and news media\nprovide an incentive for reporting unusual observations, for publicizing them\nand for recording them.\nHowever, the ability to measure these phenomena does\nnot seem to have advanced in step with opportunities for observing them.\nTho\nAir Force believes that moat of these phenomena will gradually be understood .\nas more 1~ lmown about occurrences in the upper atmosphere."

Reports have boen received also from highly\nqualified scientists, Although primary significance is attached to reports from\nqualified observers, there is no intention to discredit untrained observers.\nRadar Sightings\nThe Air Force has r eceived many r eports of unusual images on radar scopes.\nIt is fairly well established that some of these images are ground objects\nreflected from a layer of warm air above the earth (a temperature inversion) .\nTemperature inver sion r eflections can give a r eturn on a radar scope that\nis as sharp as that received from an aircraft,\nSpeed ranges of theso r eturns\nare reportedly from zero to fantastic speeds.\nThe \"objects\" also appear to move\nin all directions,\nSuch radar sightings have resulted in hundreds of fruitless inter cept\nefforts.\nOne scientific theory holds that light can bo similarly reflected from a\nlayer of warm air above the earth and, if proven to be correct, this could\naccount for some visual sightings.\nBearing out the theory of temperature inversion reflection is o.n incident\nwhich occurred in January 1951 near Oakridge, Tennoesoo.\nTwo Air Force aircraft\nattempted to intercept an unidentified \"object\" and actually established a radar\n'~lock\" on tho object,\nTheir altitude at the time was 7,000 feet.\nThe unidentifiel\nobject, according to their radar, appoarod to be at an elevati on of ton to 25\ndegrees , Three pusses were made in an attempt t o clooe on the object.

   "text": "Attempts at interception are not made every time that unidontified ilI]tlges •\nappear briefly on an Air Force radar-scope. Current Air Force interceptors are\nshort-range, short-duration, high-speed aircraft and can be employed most\neffectively when it is poaeiblo to track a target by visual or radar means\noo that its position in the air at some futuro time may be predicted with a\nreasonable degree of accuracy.\nMethods of Evnluating\nThe first step in evaluating sightings of unusual aerial phenomona is to\ncollect all available data and check it against known airborne objects such as\nballoons, aircraft, missiles, meteors, and weathor phenomena. If still unexplained,\nreports from reliable sources, with sufficient details, are turned overt~\nspecialists in various scientific fields for further analysis.\nAs stated earlier, there is a need for better reports from trained observers\nusing adequate equipment. The Air Force intends to implement its present study\nwith instruments wherever possible.\nThe recent development of special photographic equipment may make it possible\nto gather data hitherto unobtainable through ordinary photographic methods. This\nequipment consists of a diffraction grating camera which separates light into its\ncomponent parts (spectrum) o.nd registers them on film.\nTho principle involved is\nthat used by astronomers in determining the composition of tho stars. In this\nmanner Air Force scientists may b0 able to determine the characteristics of the\nphenomena and subsequently identify the source.\nAnother proposal involves the use of a continuously operating Schmidt\ntelescope equipped with a camera. Thie telescope has a wide aperture lens and\nis capable of covering a cone of 150 degrees or nearly tho whole sky from horizon\nto horizon. This equipment will make it possible to get on a series of photo­\ngraphic plates a complete record of what happens in the sky at night.\nWhat\n11Saucers\" Are Not\nThe Air Force has st~ted in tho past, and reaffirms at tho present time, that\nthese unidentified aerial phenomena are not a secret weapon, missile or aircraft,\ndeveloped by the United States. None of the three military departments nor any\nother agency in the government is conducting experiments, classified or otherwise,\nwith flying objects which could be a basis for the reported phenomena.\nAs far as\nis known there is nothing in them tho.tis associated with me.terial or vehicles\nthat are directed against the United States, from another country or from other\nplanets.\nYour interest in this matter is greatly appreciated, Please call upon us if\nwe may be of further service.\nSincerely yours,"

The best we could do under the\ncircumstances was to deduce, first, from\nthe fact that it had not been proved, that\nsaucers had been seen and, second,\nfrom the fact that reasonable theories\ncould be advanced to explain away all\nthe reports of seeing them, that probably\nnobody had seen them at all. The\nfewer the theoretical explanations and\nthe less plausible they were, the more\nreason there was fo r suspecting people\nhad seen saucers.\" The Major shook\nhis head, and continued, \" It's a difficult\nconcept to grasp, but so was the job we\nwere tackling.\"\nI asked Major Boggs whether there\nwas any way to account for the epidemic\nof reports of strange celestial objects.\n\"Of course there is,\" he replied. \"If\nyou look up at the sky long enough, you\ncan almost always make out something\nthere that appears strange. And more\npeople are looking up now than ever\nbefore. Kids don't count freight cars\nany more; they count airplanes. People\nwho were trained in air observation\nduring the war have gone right on\nobserving. Also, the public hasn't for­\ngotten that the atomic bomb was kept\nsecret from it for three years. T his\ntime, people want to know what's cook­\ning, so they look up.\" Major Boggs\nsighed. \" T ime was when people used\nto make a wish if they saw a shoot­\ning star. Now they telephone the Air\nForce.\"\nMajor Boggs and I pondered this\nunromantic age in silence for a moment.\nT hen he returned briskly to the prob­\nlems that had confronted the investi­\ngators. \"The one tangible thing we had\nto work on was the fact that the sky is\nfull of things,\" he said. \"I can't even\ncome close to estimating the number of\ncommercial and military aircraft up\nthere at any given moment.

T hese men were all searching\n,•\nfor physical rather than psychological\nexplanations, and some fairly strange\n,•'\n,\ntheories occurred to them-the possibil­\nI\nity that extraterrestrial animals were\n'\nAying into our atmosphere, for example.\nl '\n( o data turned up to support that ar­\n:\nresting idea.) The theory that the sau­\ncers were hostile aircraft was carefully\nstudied and rejected. \"The perform­\nances of these saucers not only surpass\nthe development of present science but\nthe development of present fiction-sci­\nence writers,\" one scientist noted. The\nspecialists also considered and rejected\nthe concept of discs capable of riding the\nair on beams or rays of some kind. They\neven speculated on whether the anti­\ngravity shield that H. G. \\Velis thought\nup for his novel \"The First Men in the\nMoon\" would work; it wouldn't, they\ndecided. T he supposition that interplan­\netnry craft were whizzing in at us was\nalso discredited, despite its popularity\nwith laymen. Space ships, the scientists\nthought, would have to be so large and\nun wieldy that they couldn't possibly zig­\nzag as frivolously as the reported saucers\ndid. Besides, a space ship, regardless of its\nsize, could not, in the opinion of these\nmen, carry sufficient fuel to remain for\nany length of time in the earth's dense\natmosphere. The scientists noted, too,\nthat the supposed spacemen showed a re­\nmarkable lack of interest in the rest of\nthe world, being, it would seem, almost\nunanimous in their desire to see America\nfirst. \"The small area covered by the\ndisc barrage points strongly to the belief\nthat the flying objects are of earthly\norigin, be they physical or psycholog­\nical,\" one of the scientists reported.\nFrom the report turned in by the\nastronomers, I learned that they, in ad­\ndition to seining out comets, meteors,\nbolides, and achondrites from the\nstream of objects people were seeing in\nthe skies, had also thoughtfully con­\nsidered our planetary neighbors.

The General was reminded\nthat many of the people who had told of\nseeing the most spectacular things were\nconsidered the most reliable. He replied\nthat he had no intention of discrediting\nthem, but the fact remained that none\nof them had offered data of the kind a\nscientist would find useful. An Air\nForce officer whom General Sam­\nford personally knew to be a com­\npetent witness had told him of seeing\na saucer in the Middle East. This\nman, too, had been unable to obtain ac­\ncurate measurements. \"We have many\nreports from credible observers of in­\ncredible things,\" the General remarked.\nLike General Moore, his predecessor\nin Project Saucer days, General Sam­\nford denied that the Air Force was at­\ntempting to cover up secret experiments.\nWhen he was asked if tl1e saucers might\nbe the guided missiles of a foreign coun­\ntry, he replied that he didn't see how, on\nthe basis of their weird performances,\nthey could be unless \"someone\" had\nachieved a means of developing unlim­\nited power-\"power of such fantastic\nhigher limits that it is a theoretical un­\nlimited; it's not anytl1ing that we can\nunderstand\"-and utilizing it under\nconditions in which no mass is involved.\nAs for the latter, the General told the\npress, drawing a laugh, \" You know,\nwhat 'no mass' means is that there's\nnothing tl1ere.\"\nW\nHILE General Samford's inter­\nview probably reassured the pub­\nlic as evidence that the Air Force was\nstill on me job, it did nothing to lessen\nthe nation's saucer-consciousness. The\nreporters had hardly rnanked the Gen­\neral for his comments when, on Au­\ngust Ist, a Coast Guard photographer\nproduced a picrnre showing four bizarre\nlights burning brilliantly in a daylight\nsky. He said he had taken it over Salem,\nMassachusetts. The next day, a Har­\nvard astrophysicist called the photograph\nworthless because it was accompanied by\nno scientific data, such as temperature\ndistribution and altitude. On August\n6th, an Army physicist at Fort Belvoir,\nVirginia, creato6 the equivalent of flying\nsaucers in his laborat0ry by introducing\nmolecules of ionized air into a partial\nvacuum in a bell jar, and three days\nlater an internationally known authori­\nty on atmospheric conditions said of the\nphysicist's experiment, \"I know of no\nconditions of the earth's atmosphere,\nhigh or low, whi~h would duplicate,\n. .\n,\npage 81, 82"

I do not believe\ny other planet but ours can support intelligent life Per­\nhaps plant life, but not human.\nI do believe that if our planet can upport life, why not other planets in other Solar\nSystems. I do not believe that these people ,\nto destroy u.s because if they had they\ncould have done so long ago. Also, how\n~ know that th\nthlngs we . e .ire not\nbeings themselves.\nTHEORY NO. 7\nubmitted by Represent\ne LOUIE MASONICK., JR., of Minnesota\nMy theory is one most IFSB mcmbcn\nto have. First, I believe they are from an­\nother planet. AU those stars must have 10mtthing going around them. All those celestial\nbodies must be up there for some ru1on, ~ ides to look at. Then, also, they may even\nbe from our Solar System.\nI do not think an official agenl)\nour government should come out and say-\nwe\ndo not know what they are and wheth\nor ot they are a menace.\" The best way to reveal\nthe objects would be through dubs Ii , he IFSB.

A guard tried to ring the alarm which would set\noff the siren, and it did not work; he yelled to another guard but did\nnot get an answer, and his voice sounded very \"distant\"; although he\ntried to warn his chiefs personally, he could not run or even walk\nfast (he had to walk slowly).\n2°).-A little before the fall of Berlin,\n11the motors of autos and\ntrucks stopped unexpectedly,\" without any apparent explanation; after\none hour they succeeded in starting them again.\nlliring this occasion\nit was commented that \"something rare occurred in the atmosphere.\"\n3° - About three months ago I read in a local newsp,JBr about the \"flying\nsaucers,\" with the reservation that perhaps they would be speculating\nabout the flying saucers; however, it is undeniable that they were\ntelling the truth. It stated that, according to the article from a\nnews agency, an officer and his associate who were flying a plane saw\na\n11flying saucer.\"\nThey followed it, but it, as in previous cases,\nwhirled about and could not be reached.\nHowever, the flying saucer new\nvery high and then it began a rapid descent; it stopped a few seconds\non the officer's airplane, paralizing the motors of the airplane,\n(according to statements of the aviators).\nLater the disk flew very\nhigh and was lcs t from view, and the airplane motors began working.\nAny inference from the above statements -\naccording to my\nway of t hinking, -- that these facts may appear to be imaginary, is\ndispelled by the statements of various witnesses on each occasion, and\ntherefore they are 11scientific 11 facts.\nIf on two occasions paralization of electricity occurred, as\nwell as what we may call paralization of vital forces (in the case of\nthe guards), and in said cases 11the interference of one person, 11\nDr. LINKE, is inferred, why could not Dr. LINKE also be connected with\nthe other two cases (2 and 3)?\nIt may be that all this is not in any way related and that the\nflying saucers are nothing more than what has been given as a scientific\nexplanation, but the 11strange force, 11 about which our ancestors have not\nspoken to us in history, we cannot deny.\n- 2 ­"

This time they broughtpictures\nto show the farmer of various types of these flying saucers or space ships that\nhave been apprehended by the government from time to time, and the farmer was\nable to identify one of them as the type of thing he had seen two years ago.\nThe farmer was told, as the story goes, by your representatives, that the par­\nticular flying saucer he identified is the type that is known to have been flown\ndown from the planet Mars, and that similar ships have been captured, and that\nyour agency or the government hold captive one man at least in California who\nwas taken from one of these things from Mars. This Martian it is understood is\nnow being taught how to speak English -- in California -- and taught .American\ncustoms.\nIt is said that it is apparent that this Martian comes from a civilization\nmuch more advanced than our own civiliation•••• and that this account has general\n~\nknowledge as reported here in that community.\n~\n0\n-\n­\nI understand that the farmer is a Mr..l' Stevenson~ that he is held in very high\nrepute in th' community, prosperous, conservative and of presumed sound mind.\nr1,t- I\n,'ii. -11-~9</ 3.3§,\n,-~-0\n/!J fS /ti\nIEORDED • 68\nJlu. i3 1~3\n/\n.\nE:;_\n(,.\nW,i'J\n\\~OtXEO gg\n~\nt\n; 7All •.<;F,4~;s~;e;a,,,.,\n( I\n~,<\\"

Before the war I intended\nto make a toy, something which flies, and purely accidentally I di scovered\na hitherto unknown aerodynamic law.\nI experimented further. I improved\nand informed several comrades. They were enthused and emigrated to\nSouth America.\nThere they tried it on their own responsibility. People\nwere killed and they f ailed t o perfect the incomplete invention. They\napproached me again.\nAs they were only artisans, 'these flying machines\nwere, of course, built primitively.\nThe first experiments to fly with\na motorcycle motor attained the result of 250-300 km.\nNot bad for the\nyears 1938-391 With a powerful motor they then flew 2600-2800 km.\n(hour kilometers).\n«--rtrt\\ <'\"\"J,, 4rfp B'I:\n~~tC/}t?tCt-/ 6.

   "text": "•\n•\n(\\\nAfter the war they came to me again and t old me about their\nmisfortune, that about 6($ of all flights had been fatal. To make\nit very clear, t hey wanted to f ind out how I construct my f lying\napparatuses, because With a device, which endangers lives,they could\nnot, of course, appear before the public, and, therefore, all this is\nstill, so to speak, a private secr et. In .America, this flying\nmachine is called \"flying saucer,\" and since among my f ormer cClllI'ades\na quarrel broke out and they distrust each other and none of them has\nthe intelligence, which this invention demands, they have not progressed\nover there.\nI imagine that they have stubbornly adhered to some construction,\nthat is, become involved in it that they cannot advance. It has taken\nme years to reach the point where I can already say with respect to the\nconstruction plan that now the machine is safe for flying. Thereby I\nam losing, however, some speed, but, in return for it, safety is secured\nand this is the main thing. Thi.s machine is so very simple in its\nconstructien that, if one gives me an engineer and e:xperts, I can build\nthis apparatus in 5 to 6 weeks at the most (but only experimentally\nfor a crew of l to 3 men). Then this machine attains, with an automobile\nmotor of 80 to 120 h.p. about 700 to 1,000 km. If a firm would exist,\nwhich does not shun the costs, I can, because of the simple construction\nof the machi ne, build the first machine immediately in such a manner that\nit exceeds the 2000 km. limit per hour.\nBecause of the new aerodynamic law it is possible without\nany difficulty (everything without propellers) to reach such speeds.\n\\\nNow the idea has come to me to build some kind of popular flying machine\nwhich is cheaper than an automobile. One does not need any\nstarting or landing strip and one wruld have a travelling speed of\nabout 500 to 700 Ian. per hour. I believe that .America would be the\nmost favorable pl ace in the world for it.\nYou will now understand that I\nam very anxious to establish contact with a firm which is greatly\nint erested in this invention. But as I have no knowledge of English,\nit is for me, from the very beginning, an affair which will come to\nnothing. If you, dear Mr. PiiVETZ, can s t art the matter, you will not\nhave done it in vain. I am not niggardly and besides I want to go\nto the u. s. A. to r ealize there a still larger project for which I\nneed co-workers.\nThe circular flying machines shall bring me the money\nfor my further future plans, for I believe popular flying machines,\naccording to my model. and besides 100% safe from crash, will be a\ngigantic business. I do not know the magnates over there; perhaps\nHENRY FORD or an airplane factory, possibly a helicopter plant would\nbe int erested in it."

KEHOE, retired major, u. s. Marine Corps, which book\nwas published by Harper's Publishers, and a book entitled \"Flying\nSaucers Have Landed,\" by GEORGE ADAMSKI, which book is published by\nWerner...Lowery Company in England, and is distributed by the British\nBook Center in New York City. He said that he has also heard broadcasts\nby persons he considers reputable news commentators, such as WALTER\nWINCHELL, FUL'IDN LEWIS, JR., and FRANK EDWARDS, to the effect that\nreliable persons have reported observing flying discs or saucers.\nHe\nsaid contrary to these reports, the u. s. Air Force has denied the ex­\nistence of the flying saucer and he felt that persons such as TRUMAN\nBETHURUM and GEORGE HUNT WILLIAlfiON, in presenting a program such as that\ncontemplated, were either truthful or they were frauds. He stated that\nif they had a true story to tell, then he felt it was of such nature\nthat it should be given as wide a distribution as possible, so that the\npeople might learn the true facts regarding fiying discs. He said,\nhowever, if their story was not true, then the holding of such a\nmeeting as was contemplated would be a fraud on the general public.\nHe estimated that such a meeting in Cincinnati might draw two thousand\npeople, which, at $2.00 apiece, would result in a $4,000.00 take for\nthe promoters.\nTo identify TRUMAN BETHURUM, Mr. EICKHOFF had with him two copies\nof the magazine \"Valor,\" which be stated he got from BETHURUM, this\nmagariine being self-identified as the \"Golden Times Weekly, 11 published\nby Soul Craft Chapels, Post Office Box 192, Noblesville, Indiana. The\ntwo issues which Mr. EICKHOFF had with him were numbers 15 and 16 of\nvolume 6 of the publication, the number 15 being dated 2-6-54 and\nnumber 16 being dated 2-13-54. The number 15 issue contained an article\nconcerning TRUMAN BETHURUM, in which he is identified as a truck driver\nfrom Redondo Beach, California, and it refers to an article dated\n12-31-53, which appeared in the -Daily Breeze,\" a newspaper at Redondo\nBeach, California, which allegedly contained a description of an encounter"
