Memorandum for: Deputy Director for Intelligence — U. S. Air Force Contract with the University of Colorado to Report on the UFO Situation

This memorandum, dated 7 February 1967, addresses the U.S. Air Force contract with the University of Colorado to investigate the UFO situation. The project, led by Dr. E. U. Condon, is valued at $325,000 and is scheduled for completion within an 18-month timeframe. The document notes that Brigadier General Ed Ciller of the USAF, alongside Washington-based leaders identified as Feltes-Latchford, are monitoring the project. An informal liaison was established to provide the University with technical services, specifically regarding the measurement and enlargement of alleged UFO photographs. The memorandum highlights that these photographs are rare and that the University has been offered access to relevant Air Force imagery. Furthermore, a meeting was requested for 20 February at AFIC to allow scientists, including Dr. Condon, Dr. Robert Lowe, Dr. David Saunders, Dr. William Price, and Dr. John Colmen, to discuss technical aspects of photogrammetry and optical equipment used for analyzing photo isodensity. All personnel involved in these discussions are noted to hold at least a USAF Secret clearance.
