done thus far, leads us to believe that any broad conclusions presently drawn can be accepted only with caution.

As to the future, a limited amount of improvement may be accomplished. A revised questionnaire, now being designed by Air Force and Battlefield experts will give more detail to each case-history. We have heard informally, though, that many objects are not reported in Korea because of the burden of required paper-work. A longer questionnaire would make pilots even more reluctant to report their sightings. Also, many cross comparisons will be possible if present plans to use punch cards are carried out. In addition, improvements may be expected if Air Force follows through on its present plan to establish an advisory board of top level scientists. Further, the current plan to place emphasis on using instrumentation such as refraction grid cameras and new type Schmidt telescopes, will yield more usable facts. The absence thus far, however, of a well planned and properly guided research program makes it appear that it may be some time in the future before we can expect complete explanations of many of these phenomena.

For the next part of our presentation, we will discuss some of the

factors that have been found, or may be involved, in these reports.
