CIA and UFO Documents

Summary

In 1968, the CIA received a visit from Air Force representatives interested in declassifying a report on unidentified flying objects (UFOs). The document shows that the CIA had already approved a sanitized version of a previous report in 1953. This report summarized conclusions but omitted specific cases and any mention of CIA involvement. The conversation suggests that the Air Force was trying to expand declassification, possibly motivated by a TV show that mentioned CIA involvement in UFO analysis. The CIA recommended that a more specific request be submitted if further declassification of additional material was desired.
