The ad hoc committee concurs with the findings of the report of the University of Colorado entitled 'Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects,' Dr. Edward U. Condon, Scientific Director (see AD-680 975, AD-680 976, and AD-680 977). Panel agrees that a study of UFOs in general is not a promising way to expand scientific understanding of the phenomena, and adds: 'On the basis of present knowledge the least likely explanation of UFOs is the hypothesis of extraterrestrial visitations by intelligent beings.'

LibriVox recording of The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects, by Edward J. Ruppelt. Read by Roger Melin. 'Straight from the horse's mouth', as they say. Edward Ruppelt was the first head of the U.S. Air Force's Project Blue Book, the official project initiated to investigate UFO reports beginning in 1952. This report from 1956 takes us inside these initial investigations, separates fact from fiction, and gives insight into who, when, where, and how sightings were reported and researched in open-minded fashion (for which Ruppelt was renowned), rather than in the typical hushed and secretive (and censored) manner most often associated with government and military reports which are released to the public. Dozens of specific sightings are recounted, although hundreds more had come pouring into the agency during the period covered (and hundreds, if not thousands more that were never officially reported). Here we go inside the workings of Project Blue Book, which had evolved from 2 earlier Air Force projects, and we are witness to interviews, press conferences, Pentagon briefings, and many reports from civilian and military pilots, Air Traffic Controllers, office workers, farmers, and the man on the street who reported their accounts with UFOs. And not all sightings that were reported were restricted to the U.S. Although Project Blue Book would continue until 1969, here we witness an in-depth account from it's inception and it's earliest stages, the political obstacles, the houndings from the press, the overall confusion encountered during and following many of the sightings, and the near hysteria caused during the heyday of UFO sightings, and all from the man who headed up the project in it's earliest years. The second edition of Ruppelt's work was supplemented with 3 additional chapters which were added in 1960, and we are fortunate that they are included here.

Approved For Release 2003/07/08 : CIA-RDP80B01676R004000110022- REPORT CF THE SCIENTIFIC PANEL ON UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS 17 January 1953 F: :vv R siF 1. The undersigned Panel of Scientific Consultants has met at the request of the Government to evaluate any possible threat to national security posed by Unidentified Flying Objects ("Flying Saucers"), and to make recommendation., The Panel has received the evidence as presented by cognizant Governmental agencies, primarily the United States Air Force, and lzas retiewed a selection of the best documented incidents. 2. As a result of its considerations, the Panel cone That the evidence presented on Unidentified Flying Objects shows no indication that these phenomena constitute a direct physical threat to national security. We firmly believe that there is no residuum of cases which indicates phenomena which are attributable to foreign artifacts capable of hostile acts, and that there is no evidence that the phenomena indicate a need for the revision of current scientific concepts. 3. In the light of this conclusion, the Panel recommends: That the national security agencies take immediate steps to strip the Unidentified Flying Objects of the special status they have been given and the aura of mystery they have unfortunately acquired. We suggest that this aim may b e achieved by an integrated program designed to reassure the public of the total, lack of evidence of inimical forces behind the phenomena. /s/ Lloyd V.
