This is a CIA-released report from Detachment 35 on Operation WARY TOR-1118, dated 20 April 1951, declassified in 2006 under the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act. It describes a 17 April 1951 interview in Mattsee, Austria, with Korponay, a former chief of staff to General Zako of a Hungarian emigre organization. He explained why he split with Zako and proposed a resistance and courier network into Hungary. The report assesses him and recommends a limited subsidy. It has nothing to do with UFOs.
