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 expe-
cially in the U.S. , from people of high credibility, can be adequately stedied,
using all methods available to modern science; and (2) that the U.S. seek the
r.ooperation of the United Nations in establishing a means for the impartial and
free interchange among nations of information about unidentified flying objects.
