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

Keyhoe, Donald F. Flying saucers: menace or myth? Argosy, v. 350, June 1960:
17, 80-83.
Author states that for 13 years, USAF has maintained officially that reports
of UFOs are the result of delusions and hoaxes, with no solid basis wha: :-
ever. He purports to expose this coverup policy by making public official
USAF documents, including Regulation 200-2 and a directive referring to
UFOs as "serious business."

Maney, Charles A. Why the Air Force cannot investigate UFOs. Flying saucer
review, v. 9, July-Aug. 1963: 29, 33.
Author suggests that USAF resists publicizing evidence of real navigating space
travel by intelligences from outer space in deference to the p.rotection of
capital investment: if the U.S. government were unhampered in its study
and investigation of the scientific means by which space travel is accomplished,
those means could in time be determined; the resultant scientific breakthrough
might upset orthodox conceptions and result in financial disaster for certain
vested interests.
