AI-Generated Summary
A memorandum from the Assistant Director of Scientific Intelligence assessing a 'Flying Saucer' event as likely involving conventional jet aircraft. It requests a change in interview procedures for a key witness to avoid delays caused by C-2.
This memorandum, authored by Herbert Scoville, Jr., Assistant Director of Scientific Intelligence, is addressed to the Director of Central Intelligence regarding the investigation of a 'Flying Saucer' event. The author reports that after interviewing three of the four observers involved in the incident, there is no evidence to support the existence of unconventional aircraft. Instead, the author suggests that the objects observed were likely normal jet aircraft or, at most, aircraft with a high rate of climb. The document highlights a procedural issue regarding the further investigation of the event. The author identifies a specific individual who served as the 'prime mover' in the original dispatch and argues that it is imperative this person be interviewed alone to provide expert testimony. The author expresses concern that C-2 is currently delaying interviews, ostensibly to wait for a joint interview, and strongly recommends avoiding this procedure.
After interviews with three of the four observers involved in the "Flying Saucer" event, there still appears nothing to confirm the existence of these or other particularly unconventional type aircraft.
