This CIA document, released through The Black Vault, holds F. C. Durant's memorandum of 16 February 1953 on the Office of Scientific Intelligence Scientific Advisory Panel on Unidentified Flying Objects, which met from January 14 to 18, 1953 under Dr. H. P. Robertson. The panel found no evidence of a direct threat to national security. It rejected the Navy analysis of the Tremonton film and recommended an educational program. The file also contains an Air Force statistical study summary from 1955 that calls advanced unknown technology highly improbable.
