The implication that radioactive effects were correlated with unidentified flying objects in these two cases was, therefore, rejected by the Panel. • EDUCATIONAL PROGRA.M___,_,~ The Pane1's concept of a broad educational program integrating efforts of all concerned agencies was that it should have two major aims: training and "debunking". The training aim would result in proper recognition of unusually illuminated objects (e~g., balloons, aircraft reflections) as well as natural phenomena (meteors, fireballs, mirages, noctilucent clouds). Both visual and radar recognition are concerned. There would be many - 19 - Page 67 NW 90306" Doclrl:34714841
