Documents / FOIA release
This declassified CIA memorandum, approved for release on 2 April 2001, was written by H. Marshall Chadwell, Assistant Director for Scientific Intelligence, to the Deputy Director (Intelligence). It asks for approval in principle to set up an external research project in which an Ad Hoc Panel of top-level scientists would analyze the available evidence on Unidentified Flying Objects and recommend further action. The memo estimates the cost at about $5,000, classifies the project SECRET and says U.S. Air Force personnel would take part.
