AI-Generated Summary
This document details the Air Force's internal frustration with Dr. Leon Davidson, who is challenging the official explanation that a signal he identified as a 'space' message was actually terrestrial Morse code. It highlights the tension between civilian researchers and military intelligence regarding the disclosure of information.
This internal memorandum documents the ongoing administrative frustration regarding Dr. Leon Davidson, who is actively seeking information from the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC). Davidson is demanding a verbatim translation of a signal he believes to be a 'space' message. The document references a prior communication sent to Davidson by Captain Wallace W. Elwood on August 23, 1957, which clarified that the signal in question was actually identifiable Morse code originating from a licensed United States radio station. Despite this explanation, Davidson remains dissatisfied, contending that the audio characteristics of the signal do not match those of Morse code. The author of the memorandum notes that Davidson is threatening to use Chicago office letterhead and other government-related stationery to publish an article in a space-themed magazine regarding the Air Force's alleged concealment of information on flying saucers. The memorandum concludes by noting that the Air Force is currently sending a publication by Davidson to the relevant parties, which criticizes the Air Force's handling of information, and expresses skepticism that Davidson will be satisfied by the standard administrative responses provided by Captain Elwood.

Official Assessment
Dr. Leon Davidson is persistently requesting information from ATIC regarding a 'space' message. ATIC previously informed him via a letter from Captain Wallace W. Elwood that the message was identifiable Morse code from a licensed US radio station, not a space message. Davidson remains unsatisfied, arguing the sound characteristics are not Morse-type, and is threatening to publish an article in a space magazine using government letterhead if his demands for further information are not met.
