Documents / FOIA release
This CIA memorandum from H. Marshall Chadwell, Assistant Director for Scientific Intelligence, to the Director of Central Intelligence, dated December 1952 and released in 2001, reviews the USAF investigation of unidentified flying objects after a visit to the Air Technical Intelligence Center. It finds no reasonable evidence that the objects are of foreign origin but notes potential dangers to early warning, communications and public calm. It proposes a small consultant panel and appends case notes on the Tremonton film, a Maine sighting attributed to Jupiter, and a Florida scoutmaster report.
