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.

--- These two photos were taken by an amateur photographer in Pennsylvania of flying saucer that reportedly flew over his farm near Kutztown in July, 1952. The one on the left was shot as the object headed directly for camerman; on the right, as it soared away. Photos, retouched, were taken with 35 mm camera. Recorded by NICAP as among "clearest UFO photographs on record," this shows one of the two genuine shots achieved by Paul Trent of the unidentified aerial object that winged over his farm in McMinnville, Oregon in June, 1950. Photo shows superstructure on disc. Original is color polaroid that clearly reveals reflection from pink-roofed tower, lower left. Photo was taken in April, 1966 in Melbourne, Australia and released to APRO. Photo (r.) shot in 1956 by 15-year-old boy in California is considered "dubious" since object is not completely in frame of picture and may not be free flying. Youth explained he was practicing with new camera, saw object out of corner of eye.
