Documents / FOIA release
This Central Intelligence Agency release, approved in 2001, contains a December 1952 memorandum from H. Marshall Chadwell, Assistant Director for Scientific Intelligence, to the Director of Central Intelligence. It also includes a draft memo from Walter B. Smith to the National Security Council and a draft NSC directive. Chadwell reports that sightings near major U.S. defense installations are not attributable to natural phenomena or known aircraft. He proposes a consulting group. The draft directive would have the DCI run a research program on identifying unidentified flying objects.
