UFO Mensuration Seminar CIA

Summary

In February 1967, Dr. Condon and his team visited facilities to learn measurement techniques for unidentified objects. They were shown specialized instruments and analyzed photographic prints. The project ended without reaching definite conclusions about the authenticity of the images. The documents reflect a methodical approach, though with inconclusive results.

The CIA and its collaborators were trying to establish objective criteria to evaluate UFO reports. Despite efforts, there were no certainties about the truth of the cases studied. This kind of analysis was common at the time, when unidentified aerial phenomena generated great interest and concern.
