CIA UFO Documents 1947

Summary

In 1947, the CIA was already involved in the study of UFO sightings, as shown by recently declassified documents. An internal report suggests that after interviewing three of the four witnesses of a "flying saucer" event, no evidence was found to support the existence of such objects. Instead, it was considered more likely that the observers had seen conventional aircraft with high climb rates. The text also notes that one of the individuals responsible for the original investigation—someone who had placed great confidence in the existence of these objects—should be interviewed separately. Furthermore, it is requested that he provide expert testimony on aspects not previously mentioned. The document reflects a cautious and pragmatic attitude from the agency, which aimed to avoid unnecessary alarms and maintain a solid line of inquiry.
