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

Flying saucers are described as a well camouflaged means of misinforming
masses of people: ''whenever magazine or newspaper circulation lags, when-
ever the reader gets sated with economics and politics, whenever he has to be
distracted from asking embarrassing questions, then Western businessmen
use one of three sure-fire perennial sensations--flying saucers, sea serpents
(sometimes the Loch Ness monster), and Abominable Snowmen.''
