This is the printed record of a July 29, 1968 symposium on unidentified flying objects held by the Committee on Science and Astronautics of the U.S. House of Representatives, chaired by Rep. J. Edward Roush. The committee heard statements from six scientists: J. Allen Hynek, James E. McDonald, Carl Sagan, Robert L. Hall, James A. Harder and Robert M. L. Baker. It also printed papers from Donald Menzel, Stanton Friedman, Frank Salisbury and others. Hynek argued that puzzling UFO reports from competent witnesses deserve serious scientific study.

E. Summary of Positive Findings
1. History of chronic alcoholism and heavy smoking.
2. Recent photonhobia.
3. Hepatomegaly, with ruddy complexion with malar telangiectasia.
4. Effects of smoking: tobacco-stained teeth, injected posterior
pharynx, and basilar rales.
5. Abnormal liver function studies: Bilirubin elevated in both
direct and indirect fractions; elevated alkaline phosphatase; decreased albumin
and elevated globulin (reversed A/G ratio).
F. Discussion and Creditability Score
The subject has definite changes of early alcoholic cirrhosis.
At this point in time the toxic effects of his liver pathology would be expected
to be exerting only a mildly adverse influence on overall central nervous system
functioning.
Such effects, however, would serve to aggravate any already existing
neurological and/or psychological problems.
Creditability Score 75%.
