This Central Intelligence Agency release pairs a cover memo dated 12 March 1953 from the Secretary of the Intelligence Advisory Committee with the report of the Scientific Panel on Unidentified Flying Objects, chaired by Dr. H.

It found no direct physical threat to national security and no sign of foreign hostile artifacts. It recommended stripping UFOs of their special status and aura of mystery.
