This is the July 1966 third edition of Dr. Leon Davidson's "Flying Saucers: An Analysis of the Air Force Project Blue Book Special Report No. 14", published by Ramsey-Wallace Corp. It reproduces early Air Force press releases, the 1953 CIA panel report, the 1966 Blue Book release and the full text of the May 1955 Special Report No. 14 with its tables and codes. Davidson also gives his view that the CIA was responsible for much saucer publicity.

# United States Senate WASHINGTON. D. C. April 16,1953 Mr. Leon Davidson 8-4 S. Irving St. Arlington 4. Virginia Dear Mr. Davidson: In reply to your letter of April 13th, I will say that the Air Force has furnished me with the enclosed form letter which they use to reply to persons writing in about the flying saucer incidents. I have not been able to confirm that the Air Force has promised a detailed public report and apparently they regard this as the public information which they are now in a position to release. I hope you will find in it something of interest. April 21, 1953 Ralph E. Handler m encl. United States Senate WASHINGTON, D. C. Mr. Leon Davidson 804 3. Irving Street Arlington 4, Virginia Dear Mr. Davidson: In reply to your letter of April 18, will say that I have been privileged to witness some demonstrations of missils which might conceivebly resemble a flying ball. Of course, I am not at liberty to give any details. I would find it, however, a little difficult to line them up with the reports of such objects that have been received. Peeple E. Handler
