Documents / FOIA release
This CIA release, approved in 2001, contains Flying Saucers UFO Reports No. 1, a magazine that Dell Publishing issued in 1967. It argues that UFOs deserve serious study. It gathers reported landings, radar trackings, sightings by astronomers and pilots, and cases involving creatures, drawing on Ruppelt, Keyhoe, Fuller, NICAP and APRO. It also describes Project Blue Book, NICAP, APRO and the new University of Colorado study under Dr. Edward Condon.

Still . . . as the radio messages speed through space on the 21-centimeter band, gigantic "ears" patiently listen for the reply some scientists are convinced we must receive if we expect to survive as a species. That's how crucial it is considered.
It works according to the following mathematical formula: $ \left( \mathrm{N=f_{p}f_{1}f_{1}f_{c}-L.}\right) $ FOIA release, from the cia-readingroom collection.
