Documents / FOIA release
This 1952 Central Intelligence Agency file brings together papers on unidentified flying objects. A memorandum to the Director of the Psychological Strategy Board says the subject may matter for psychological warfare, intelligence and operations. A study by the Office of Scientific Intelligence describes the small Air Force section at Wright Field led by Captain E. J. Ruppelt, criticizes its case-by-case analysis, and recommends a centrally coordinated research program. The file also contains a Project Blue Book paper on identifying weather and research balloons.
