Documents / FOIA release
This Central Intelligence Agency file from January 1965 pairs a memorandum on UFOs from the Assistant Director for Scientific Intelligence with a Contact Division memo about the National Investigation Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP). The first memo concludes that there is no evidence UFOs are of foreign origin or a threat to US security, and it attaches Air Force statistics. The second records a 19 January 1965 meeting with NICAP's Richard Hall, who described the December 1964 radar sightings at Patuxent Naval Air Station.
Read from the scan by GLM-OCR; expect the odd misread word.
