It
is
accessible
in
the
sense
that
if
I
want
to
pay $90
for
Xeroxes
I
can
now
get
it.
It
is
not
published
in
the
sense
of
being
available
to
every
library
in the
country.
My
Reference
7,
which
NICAP
just
pub-
lished,
is
available
to
scientists
all
over the
country.
It
is
a
matter
of
the
Air
Force
having
a
policy
of not
publishing
such
items,
and
they
were
classified.
I
think the
Moss
committee
and
NICAP
are to
be
highly
praised
to get
out
in the
open
Reference
7.
Mr.
DOWNING.
Is
there
a
reason
why
this
is
classified?
Dr.
MCDONALD.
There
is
an
understandable reason
why
the
Air
Force has
had
to
classify
this.
An
unidentified
area
object
on
pre-
sumption
is hostile
until
proved
otherwise.
So
there
has
been
this
un-
fortunate,
but
entirely
understandable
measuring
of
these
two
areas.
The
national
defense mission
of
the
Air
Force has
necessitated
they
have
some
part
of
the
UFO
problem
inevitably,
and
they got
it
in
the
first
instance.
They
have long
since told
us
there
is
no
hostility
here,
hence
the
scientific
curiosities
going
unattended
because
it
doesn't
fall
under
the
defense mission,
in other
words
to
be
transferred into
NASA,
NSF,
or something
like
that.
That
does
not
mean
the
Air Force
won't
continue
to
watch
unidentified objects
on
the
millisecond
basis.
But
they not need
worry
about
this
other part
of
the
problem.
I
think
it is
understandable,
but
needs changing.
Mr.
ROUSH.
Mr.
Pettis.
Mr.
PETTIS.
Mr.
Chairman,
Doctor.
I
was a
little
bit interested
in
your
observations
about
this
UFO
sighting
in
my
hometown
of Redlands.
I
might
observe that
Redlands
is
a
rather conservative
community,
when
people
in
Redlands
say they
saw
something,they
saw
something.
I
did
not
happen
to
be
in
Redlands
that
particular
date,
so
I
did
not
see
this.
But
I
would
like
to observe
this,
that
having
spent
a
great deal
of
my
life
in
the
air,
as
a
pilot,
professional
and
private
pilot,
I
know
that
many
pilots
and
professional
pilots
have
seen
phenomena
that
they could
not
explain.
These
men,
most
of
whom
have
talked to
me,
have
been very
reticent
to talk
about
this
publicly,
because
of the
ridicule
that
they were
afraid
would
be heaped
upon them, and I'm
sure that
if this
committee wereever
to investigate
this,
or bring
them
in here, there
probably
would
have
to
be
a
closed
hearing,
Mr.
Chairman.
However,
there
is
a phenomena
here that
isn't
explained.
I
think probably
we
ought
to
do a
little
looking
into
this, is
my
per-
sonal opinion.
Mr.
RousH.
Mr. Ryan.
Mr.RYAN.
Yes,thank you,
Mr.
Chairman.
First
I
should
like
to
commend
you,
Mr.
Roush,
for your
interest
in the subject matter,
and
the
chairman of the
full
committee for hav-
ing arranged for hearings into
this
problem.
I
think
it is
important that
this
committee not waive
its
jurisdiction,
but that
it
explore very
carefully the proposals that
have been
madeby
the witnesses here,
and
that
it
have a
continuing
field
of explora-tion into this
whole
question.
I
want
to
commend Dr. McDonald
for
having been
persistent in presenting his views to the various
membersof the committee,helping to bring about
these hearings.
