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

Its preface concludes that no simple, single explanation of the UFO phenomenon applies to all cases.

use of the most effective detection methods available; (4) determination of the
best locations to set up detection instruments; (5) use of a conver~ent pr()('Pdure
to alert given areas of a possible UFO sighting; {6) distribution of available
equipment and trained observers iu reasonable proportions in different areas;
(71 consideration of effect the search procec:b1re might have on the searthed
object.
