Documents / FOIA release
This untitled Central Intelligence Agency cable from the Chicago office, dated April 26, 1957, reports on two letters received from Davidson asking for information on UFOs. In the first, dated March 6, he asked whether a tape had been analyzed at ATIC, Wright Field. The reply said the tape had gone to the proper authorities and that no results were available. When Davidson asked where to direct his enquiries, he was referred to the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, where he was apparently stalled.
