Central Intelligence Agency · 1972-03-01 · 4 pages · text by GLM-OCR

This Central Intelligence Agency document, dated 1972 and later approved for release, is a short, partly redacted report about a Soviet member of a USSR committee set up to investigate unusual phenomena, meaning flying saucers. According to the report, the man gave a talk that was meant seriously but came across as humorous, and other Soviets present joked and laughed. A source said the committee consists mostly of politicians, theorists and historians and has little if any scientific talent.
