1953: 21-25.
Highlights from analysis of the 54 UFO sightings reported to Ohio Northern
University's Project A are: (1) the objects fly with a pe~~iar step-like pattern
of flight, moving in a horizoni.al path, then risinJ! n ... rtically, then moving hori-
zontally again, in a series of steps; (2} i.rained observers who have been close
to the "saucers" state they are material objects; (3) they are disc-like in shape
and their domes give of! w1 amber light. At night the color seems reddish. 'lbe
rest of the disc is silver-colored c ~cept for a hazy blue light around the edges;
(4) observers only yards from the objects sighted have ruled 01Jt explanations of
light reflection, cloud formation, ionization, and similar theories.

ion, Ill., The Author, 1968. 15 p.
Author makes the following recommendations: (1) that a mechanism be set up
whereby the problem posed by the reports from all over the world, but especial-
ly in the U.S. , from people of high credibility, can be adequately studied, using
all methods available to modern science; and (2) that the U.S. seek the coopera-
tion of the United Nations in establishing a means for the impartial and free in-
terchange among nations of information about unidentified flying objects. State-
ment made at the Symposium on Unidentified Flying Objects, Committee on Sci-
ence and Astronautics, House of Representatives, July 29, 1968.

Author says that from what "hard" information he has, the U.S. S. R. may have
lx>en studyini; the UFO phenomenon with dispassionate thoroughness for years;
the U. S. is only now beginning to consid~r treating the problem seriously. He
outlinc•s what he believes to be a thorough and efficient way to obtain scientific
knowled~e of UFOs.

Keel, John. UFOs--the statistical problem. Flying saucers, Aug. 1968: 18-19.
Author states that random UFO sighting reports do not provide data of sufficient
depth or ''keye to the many hidden factors" of the pher.omenon. He suggests
that UFO researchers revise their approach to the subject and "search for new
and possibly illogical (by our standards) clues buried in the more controversial
cases."
