This CIA archives copy, released in 2026, holds Project Blue Book Special Report No. 14 (Analysis of Reports of Unidentified Aerial Objects). The Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base issued it on 5 May 1955. The study reduced about 4,000 sighting reports from 1947 to 1952 to IBM punched cards, with 3,201 cases charted, and applied chi square tests to compare known and unknown sightings. It concludes that it is highly improbable the reports represent technological developments beyond present-day scientific knowledge.

According to them, it flew abreast of them at a greater radius as they made their climbing turn, during which time it blinked some lights which looked like running lights. While the observing plane was still I in it.s climbing turn, the object made a turn toward the plane and flew across its nose. As the two men turned their heads to watch it, it instantly I appeared on their other side flying in the same direction as they were flying, and then in 2 or 3 seconds it slipped under them, and they did not I see it again. Total time of the observation was not stated. In appearance, it was like an airplane with a cigar-shaped body and straight wings, some what larger than a B-29. No engine nacelles were observed on the wings. I I 79 \_I
