This Central Intelligence Agency document, dated 1956-01-02, is the Durant report of the Scientific Advisory Panel on Unidentified Flying Objects. Its extracted text is badly garbled. The report records the Panel's view that most reviewed sightings had reasonable explanations and that the objects showed no evidence of a direct threat to national security. It discusses the Tremonton and Great Falls films and World War II foo fighters. It also recommends an educational and training program and warns that heavy volumes of reports could clog military reporting channels.

In the opinion of J. Robertson that the "pause" problem is a serious concern from the detection and investigation of German WWI and V-2 guided missiles prior to their deployment on World War II. In the 1943-1944 intelligence conquest (Grosseau), the two excellent intelligence and by June 1944 there was material evidence of the existence of "pause"? Channelized fire caught volcano in the thunder. This evidence gave the investigator a basic upon which to operate. The absence of any "pause" resulting from unexplained U, P, O, sightings led to a "will" (the ming) response to the NATO problem. The results of these investigative question, to date, strongly indicate that no evidence of hostile action could be detected. Furthermore, the current reporting system would have little value in the case of detection of enemy attacks by combat aircraft on guided missiles, under such conditions "pause" would be credible almost at once.

What they did not find was any evidence that related the objects sighted to space phenomena. Mr. Dornnot, in his presentation, showed how he had often entered each of the known out probable causes of sightings leaving him "not terrestrial?" as the only one remaining in many cases.
