Documents / FOIA release
This is a secret Intelligence Advisory Committee memorandum, IAC-D-67, dated 18 February 1953 and signed by Secretary James Q. Reber. The CIA approved it for release in 2004. It sends the committee the report of a scientific panel on unidentified flying objects, along with a summary of the evidence and a list of the participants. It proposes giving copies to the Secretary of Defense and civil defense officials, and states that CIA concluded no National Security Council Intelligence Directive on the subject is warranted.
