Documents / FOIA release
This CIA memorandum for record, dated 30 January 1953, documents a briefing on unidentified flying objects given to the ONE Board on 29 January by P. G. Strong, assisted by F. C. Durant. The briefing covered the history of O/SI interest and action on the subject and showed motion picture films of sightings at Tremonton, Utah, and Great Falls, Montana. The Board had already received copies of the Scientific Advisory Panel's report. The briefing was background ahead of an ATIC briefing that ONE had requested for 30 January.
