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.

The objects came out on film far brighter than the stars that studded the clear sky. Yet to the naked eye they had appeared to be soft in their glow. # Worth 1,000 Words A blow-up of the films that aroused nationwide interest after they were witnessed and photographed in the Lubbock, Texas area, indicated that the formation "shifted positions according to a definite pattern." There seemed good reason for UFO researchists and Air Force personnel to take great interest at the time, which was late August, 1951.
