Documents / FOIA release
This Central Intelligence Agency memorandum for information, dated 3 September 1955 and signed by the Chief of the Applied Science Division, SI, assesses a reported sighting of two unconventional aircraft. It compares the objects to Project "Y", a 30 ft circular wing that Avro Aircraft Ltd. in Canada is developing under US Air Force contract, directed by John Frost. The memo suggests the Soviets may have such craft in service, but says more details of the sighting are needed before it can be evaluated properly.
Read from the scan by GLM-OCR; expect the odd misread word.
In order to properly evaluate the report by and group, it will be necessary to have additional information and details of the sighting. The Air Force has made arrangements for technically competent persons to question the party.
