This assortment of records released by the Office of the Secretary of Defense collects 1975 National Military Command Center memoranda and message traffic. They cover unidentified helicopters and low-flying aircraft seen over weapons storage areas at Loring AFB, Maine, and Wurtsmith AFB, Michigan, along with radar and visual UFO contacts at Malmstrom AFB, Montana. The file also contains a 1976 defense attaché report on F-4 intercepts of a UFO over Tehran and Air Force UFO statistics for 1965.

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