The Defense Technical Information Center released it under FOIA in November 2014.

Author points out that whenever angelic beings have made themselves
visible to man, clothed in normal costume and speaking the language of
the country, they have not been identified as such until they chose to
make themselves known by an overt act of superhuman power or by
identifying themselves by word of mouth; throughout the ages there must have
been, and very probably still are, visitations by angf.!ls--probably in most
cases appearing as normal human beings.

In author's opinion, UFOs are not material bodies ber.ause: (l) they have been
observed to travel at accelerations which no material body could stand, and
(2) despite the enormous speeds reported, no sonic booms are ever heard, He
considers it possible that UFOs may "turn out to be of intelligent extra-
terrest:rial origin" but "if they are artificial, a:ld come from other planets, it
is fairly certain they are not spaceship!' ••. they will be something very much
more sophisticated. "
