Documents / FOIA release

Proposed Study on the "Flying Saucers" Phenomena

Central Intelligence Agency · 1952-12-05 · 2 pages · text by GLM-OCR

This FBI memorandum from V. P. Keay reports on an Intelligence Advisory Committee meeting on December 4, 1952, which the Bureau's Liaison Section attended. At the meeting, members heard that a German atomic scientist's theory had spurred British intelligence interest, and that a recent sighting in Africa suggested the saucers were a scientific development and not meteorological phenomena. Military members proposed a scientific study. The release includes a 1984 CIA letter returning sanitized copies under FOIA exemption (b)(3).

Read from the scan by GLM-OCR; expect the odd misread word.
