Documents / FOIA release
This CIA memorandum from the Acting Chief of the Weapons and Equipment Division to the Deputy Assistant Director/SI, dated August 1952, gives an overall evaluation of flying saucer reports. It says most of the 1000 to 2000 reports received by ATIC are hoaxes, known U.S. equipment or natural phenomena, and fewer than 100 credible reports remain unexplained. It recommends that CIA surveillance continue without press or public awareness and notes that a briefing at ATIC was set for 8 August 1952.
