An Air Force official requests declassification of a CIA UFO report

Summary

An Air Force official contacted the CIA to request the declassification of a report on unidentified aerial phenomena. The document shows a telephone conversation between an Air Force representative and a CIA official, discussing the response to the request. Officer Sara Hunt called several times to get details about the process, including the phone number of the responsible office and the extent of any modifications made to the report. It was mentioned that references to CIA personnel were removed, and that additional sanitization likely occurred during the review process.

The communication reflects coordination between the two agencies to handle sensitive information, indicating that the Air Force had already received the CIA's response. Although the report's content is not revealed, the document highlights the importance of keeping certain data confidential, even in topics related to UFOs. This kind of exchange was common during the Cold War, when national security and information about advanced technologies were delicate matters.
