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.

# If You Can't Sight'em- Coin'em An enterprising photographer on the Miami News, Charles Trainor, disappointed that he hadn't sighted a UFO, decided to manufacture his own. Enlisting the aid of his 13-yearold son, he set up a saucerport in his backyard; equipped it with dinner plates, garbage can lids and the every day garden variety saucer. Young Charlie skimmed the IFOs up in the air while his father recorded their flights on film, shooting at a slow shutter speed to achieve the wanted "fuzzy" look. Pleased with the results, Trainor introduced a fellow photographer, Bob Bailey, to the new sport and together they fabricated their own flap over Biscayne Bay; and again over Miami's skyline. If you sighted any of these "paralyzers," call Mr. Trainor at the Miami News. If you found the dinner plate that plunged into Biscayne Bay, call Mrs. Trainor. No rewards. Start slowly, preferably on water's edge; strong right arm helps; firm grip on garbage lid handle. Let 'er fly. Most dramatic effect can be achieved by picking out good props for background . . . lighthouse, maybe.
