Documents / FOIA release
This CIA memorandum from the Office of Scientific Intelligence, dated February 1965, analyzes reported UFO incidents from November 1964. It concludes there was no high altitude, ultra-high-speed UFO. It finds that the object a US Navy F-8C pilot saw on 19 November was probably a delta-wing fighter, possibly on MiG-21 reconnaissance during missile test firings. Also attached is a 1958 memo from Herbert Scoville, Jr. that refers a Photographic Intelligence Center report on a Mr. Fine's UFO photographs to the Air Force.
