Memorandum for the Director of Central Intelligence regarding the 'Flying Saucer' event

This memorandum, authored by Herbert Scoville, Jr., the Assistant Director of Scientific Intelligence, addresses the Director of Central Intelligence regarding an investigation into a 'Flying Saucer' event. The document notes that interviews have been conducted with three of the four individuals involved in the sighting. Based on these interviews, the Office of Scientific Intelligence found no evidence to support the existence of unconventional aircraft, suggesting instead that the objects observed were likely conventional jets or aircraft capable of a high rate of climb. The memorandum specifically discusses a primary witness, whose name is redacted, who is identified as the individual responsible for initiating the report. Scoville expresses concern that this individual is currently withholding information, potentially to wait for a joint interview. Consequently, Scoville strongly recommends that the witness be interviewed alone to ensure the collection of accurate expert testimony and to avoid the complications of a joint session. The document also references G-2 in the context of previous correspondence regarding the trip.
