This memorandum, dated March 1, 1955, and authored by W. B. Klemperer, provides an update on the study of unconventional propulsion schemes. The document references a previous memorandum, MTM-622, and notes that twenty additional papers have been reviewed and added to the Astronautical Literature Review series (serials 026 to 045). The author reports on personal interviews conducted regarding the subject, specifically mentioning discussions with Dr. C. B. Millikan and Captain W. T. Sperry of American Airlines, the latter of whom encountered a UFO in 1950. The author dismisses the technical value of existing 'Flying Saucer' literature but notes the acquisition of a color film depicting unidentified objects near Missoula, Montana, which is currently undergoing analysis using 'Iconolog' techniques. Furthermore, the document details correspondence with Aviation Studies (International) Limited regarding the article 'Gravitic Steps' from their publication, which led to a referral to an unclassified report on Project Winterhaven.
A print of a color film tracking two Unidentified Foreign Objects near Missoula, Montana, was obtained. It is now being analysed by Iconolog techniques.
