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.

Fuller's Incident at Exeter (Putnam). Mr. Fuller accepted no hearsay evidence in compiling the material for his book.

As Mr. Fuller was drawing to the close of his first-hand investigation of the incident he encountered more and more people who located the cite of the UFOs they had seen as "Just over the high-power lines," or "coming in above the transmission poles."
