Flying Saucers

Central Intelligence Agency · 2001-03-20 · 5 pages · text by GLM-OCR

This Central Intelligence Agency file, released in 2001, includes a 26 March 1956 memorandum from Deputy Director/Intelligence Robert Amory, Jr. to the Assistant Director/Scientific Intelligence. Amory points to a MATCH magazine article describing a radar photograph of an object that an airline pilot also saw, and asks whether CIA keeps in touch with the Air Force center on sightings, including foreign ones. The file also holds a clipping reporting that the Transport Department was closing its Shirley Bay saucer station because nothing had come of it.

Read from the scan by GLM-OCR; expect the odd misread word.
