Flnal report of the University of Colorado project studying UFOs under support
provided by the Air Force Office of Scientific Researcti, OAR, at the direction
of the Secretary of the Air Forcf:. Two-year project concluded (a) that ahout
90 percent of all UFO reports pl'ove to be quite 1>1ausibly related to ordinary
phenomena, (b) that little l! anything has come from the study of UFOs in the
past 21 years that has added to scientific knowledge. and (c} that further
extensive study of UFO sighting is not ;ustifted in the expectation that science
will be advanced thereby. At the same time it is emphasized that (c) is an
opinion hused on evidence now availa!,;le. Also pri::ited in hard copy and micro-

Rief review of critical chain of linked processes -- anatomic, phipiolo~!~. and
psychologic.u -- which operate to determi.ne the nature of the observations maue
by an indivichal, whether of an accident, a planned experiment, or a phenomenon
such as a Ul'O. Purpose of reriew is to demonstrate how, through the use of
£)roper medical examination, the integrity of the observer system can be
established in such a way that eye witness creditability d:>es not have to be left
to the kind of speculation that is so frequent.

Three of five observers of a light in the night. sky that was actually mGving
continuously along a linear course reported it a .., stationary as long as the light

phenomenon of autokinesis, or apparert motion of an actually stationary light
in an undifferentiated field.
