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.

# DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE WASHINGTON OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY 15 November 1956 Dear Mr. Davidson: I know that during the past several months you have had considerable correspondence with the Air Force and the Defense Department regarding Special Report #14, the Air Force Project Blue Book. The intent of this letter is to inform you of our position on the Blue Book as defined by the Secretary of the Air Force. We distributed a press release and a summary at the time the report was officially released. We made the full report available in the Information Offices of this Headquarters and in the Air Force Information Offices in New York and Los Angeles. The report is still available at these places. We did not distribute the report itself because the cost was prohibitive. While the Air Force has never denied anyone access to the above-mentioned locations for the purposes of either reading or copying the report, we have not felt justified to expend public funds to assist in commercial reproduction of the report. I trust this serves to make clear the position of the Air Force. Sincerely, ANDREW/J. KINNEY Brigadier General, USAF Mr. Leon Davidson 64 Prospect Street White Plains, New York Director of Information Services
