Documents / FOIA release
This Central Intelligence Agency file sends the Intelligence Advisory Committee the report of the Scientific Advisory Panel on Unidentified Flying Objects, which met 14 to 17 January 1953 under H. P. Robertson. The panel found no evidence of a direct threat to national security or of hostile foreign artifacts. It said that continued emphasis on UFO reporting could clog communication channels, and it recommended stripping the subject of its special status. The file also lists the evidence reviewed and the participants, and records CIA's conclusion that no NSCID was warranted.
