Documents / FOIA release
This CIA memorandum from April 1952 was signed by Philip G. Strong, Deputy Assistant Director. It was sent to Major Carl R. Hart at Headquarters United States Air Force and passes on a letter from Thomas B. Scott, Jr. of Lake View, South Carolina, together with the Agency's reply. Scott had described signaling an object in the sky on 2 April 1952. The reply says the Agency is interested but that the Air Force is responsible for identifying such objects, so the letter was forwarded to it.
