Documents / FOIA release
This Central Intelligence Agency memorandum for the record describes a 5 May 1967 briefing given to Dr. Edward Condon of the University of Colorado and colleagues on an NPIC analyst's analysis of the Zanesville, Ohio, UFO photography. The attendees praised the work, which used ground survey, mathematical, photogrammetric and densitometric techniques. Condon called it the first scientific UFO analysis that would stand up to investigation. The memo also records plans to move further analysis under Air Force and University of Colorado funding, to review NICAP photographs and to seek more publicity.
