UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS
The information contained here has been compiled to respond
to queries on Unidentified Flying Objects directed to the White
House as well as NASA.
NASA is the focal point for answering public inquiries to
the White House relating to UFOs. NASA is not engaged in a re-
search program involving these phenomena, nor is any other govern-
ment agency.
BACKGROUND
In July of 1977, Dr. Frank Press, Director of Science and
..
Technology Policy, Executive Office of the President, wrote to
Dr. Robert A. Frosch, the NASA Administrator, suggesting NASA
should answer all UFO-related mail and also·· to consider whether
NASA should conduct an active research program on UFOs. In a
letter dated December 21, 1977, Dr. Frosch agreed that NASA will
continue to respond to UFO-related mail as it has in the past
and, if a new element of hard evidence that UFOs exist is brought
to NASA's attention from a credible source, NASA will analyze the
~nexplained organic or inorganic sample and report its findings.
