Documents / FOIA release
This Central Intelligence Agency memorandum, dated 18 December 1952 and released in 2001, was sent by H. Marshall Chadwell, Assistant Director for Scientific Intelligence, to the Director of Central Intelligence. It reports a visit to the Air Technical Intelligence Center and finds no reasonable evidence that the objects are of foreign origin, though it notes potential dangers. The CIA's Office of Scientific Intelligence planned to convene top-level scientific consultants. An attached tab reviews the Tremonton film, a Maine sighting attributed to Jupiter, and a possible hoax by a Florida scoutmaster.
