CIA UFO Documents

Summary

In August 1965, the CIA received a call from the Air Force regarding a declassified UFO report. Sara Hunt from the Air Force Office of Information wanted to confirm the status of the document. The CIA, led by Walter Macke, informed her that the report was being reviewed and would be sent soon. Hunt showed patience, though she gently pressed for a clearer response, which was not given.

During the call, Hunt mentioned that a journalist, John Leard, had published an article on UFOs in the latest Saturday Review. She said the Air Force wanted to show him the new version of the report as soon as it was declassified. The document, though brief, reflects the coordination between agencies and the sensitivity with which UFO-related national security matters were handled.
