Documents / FOIA release
This Central Intelligence Agency document, approved for release on 2002/05/23, is a partly legible intelligence report on an investigation into UFO sightings over offshore islands and the Taiwan Strait. It says the UFOs stayed visible for anywhere from two minutes to five or ten minutes and flew unaffected by wind, with similar objects sighted elsewhere. The investigating team believed the objects were possibly satellites, flying saucers, electronic jamming devices or psychological warfare balloons, and called those seen on 13 August man-made satellites.
Read from the scan by GLM-OCR; expect the odd misread word.
