This memorandum, dated April 26, 1976, outlines the results of an inquiry into the existence of an official government UFO research program.

After reviewing materials hand-carried to his office, the A/DDS&T provided feedback to the authors. The document explicitly states that the government does not have an apparent program in progress for the identification or solution of UFO phenomena. It emphasizes that the efforts of independent researchers are considered vital for progress in this field. Within the agency, there are personnel who monitor the phenomena, but this activity is not conducted on an official basis. The recommended approach is to maintain informal reporting channels to ensure the intelligence community remains informed of any new developments, especially those that might indicate a threat or involve foreign technological advancements.
