U.S. Department of War · 1955 · 220 pages · text by GLM-OCR

This 1954 to 1955 file of U.S. Air Force Directorate of Intelligence correspondence gathers letters and memos about the Unidentified Flying Object Program. In one memo, the Air Force says an object that fell at Sylacauga, Alabama was identified as a meteorite at the Air Technical Intelligence Center. Donald Keyhoe questions the Office of Naval Research about the Navy's analysis of the Tremonton film, and the Navy says data are insufficient and it sees no danger. Most of the replies to the public enclose the Air Force UFO summary.

Dear Mrs. Novacek:

Thank you for forwarding to us your interesting letter of January 4 to the National Geographic Society.

Without further details, we are unable to comment on your observation, but for your convenience we are attaching a copy of the "U. S. Air Force Summary of Events and Information Concerning the Unidentified Flying Object Program," which compiles the latest facts established by the Air Force investigations in this area.

Very truly yours,
