Text (169 pages)
The text of 162 scanned pages is imperfect. It was produced by machine OCR (Windows.Media.Ocr (en-US), best of plain / 3x3 median at 300 dpi) from 1940s–1960s typescript, carbon copies and photostats. Words are misread, redaction marks read as letters, and handwriting is mostly lost; 1 of 162 scanned pages gave little or no usable text. Use it to find a page, then quote from the page image, not from this text.
7 pages were transcribed by Claude, an AI, from the page images, because machine OCR could not read them (mostly handwritten letters and faded typescript). Each is marked below. Unreadable words are marked [illegible] and uncertain ones [?]. A transcription can still be wrong; check any quotation against the page image.

Roachh Lyryc OBJECT REPORTED -off SEPTEMBER 1957; INTELLIGENCE ADVISORY COWITTEE -r T/ATCH COUUITTEE Bo maa Masoo P u soas Rosen Neu se Reference is made to my memorandum o J' September 23,Tele. Hol 1957, on the captioned matter Which reflected an Intelli— gence Advisory Committee (IAC) evaluation o J' an Air Defense Command (ADC) report that radar stations at Uontauk Po int, Long Island, New Yo and Benton, Pennsylvan ia, detected cnL-e V" unidentified object proceeding in a westward direction with an altitude o $ 50, 000 feet and a speed of 2, 000 knot8 (approcimately 2, 300 miles per hour) on September 20, 1957. The IAC intell igence evaluation o J' this report reflected that is highly improbable that a Soviet operation is responsible the un identified flying object reports of September 20, 1957. " Today, at an Executive Session o $ the IAC, General Millard Lewis, Director, Air Force Intell igence, advised that although the ADC has not coiipleted its invest* got ion OT the evidence on this matter, there are continuing indications that the object detected toas an ctmospheric phenomenon. The radar pickups nou reflect speed variations in the object course, ranging from 1,500 miles per hour to 4, 500 miles per hour. This latter speed is improbable accord ing to U. S. scientific theory for any type J' lying 0b jeot which this C0U1d conceivably be. Cenera2 Lewis added that the present sun spots are associated with the pecul tar radar• activity throughout the globe and that this- could have some cause for the captioned report , A crroN: Liaison toil 1 report further info mat ion on this matter as quickly as it is developed.

Room — Holloman Gandy Supervisor M.W. Kuhrtz at the Intelligence Advisory Committee - Yatch Committee •special meeting on September 21, 1957, relative to the captioned matter. The initial report in ibis.mctter was given by the C.S. Air Defense Command to the n ite House on Septenber 20, 1957, reflecting that an was picked up bv radar 'tation at Montauk Point, Long Island, NetD York, at approximately 4 p.m., proceeding in a westward direction with cn altitude ot 50,000 feet and a speed o/ 2, 000 hots (approximately 2300 mi Zes per hour). The radar station at Montauk Point nointained an image $ or approzinately one minute, and thereafter it toas picked up by c radar station at Benton, Fenn syl vania (Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania), which coincided with the Montauk Point pickup and .iDas tracked by. Ben *on tor approcimately 9 minutes. Thereafter, jamming n s reported by several radar stations westward as tar as Chicago. The watch Connittee at its neeting on Septenber 21 was told bV the Air Defense Connand that the original reports had been dom- graded, gince there was on II-minute break in the traciting by the various rada$ stations, and further that toea ther .:statiöns; in the arca were of the type ich have in the past produced false radar "p'ips" and electronic information, Also, there were. a number of Strategic . Air Command plane8 in the Chicago area on a training t Zight, me Watch Committee vos told that the Air Defense Command has not completed its investigation of this incident; however, in any event it. wag reported that the phenomena reported west of Bu tralo, Neto York, loere not related to the object as reported by Uontauk Point am Benton, Pennsylvania. The Watch Connittee concluded that, '*rt is highly improbabl that c Soviet operation is responsible for the unidentified JO object reports OJ' September, 1957. 2b e Vatch Committee in conside ing this natter g Z so concluded that there is no intelligence on Soviet activities Ph ich can be related to o missile launching ot this y e RECORDED • ur.

The Watch Committee also ecanined possible Soviet motives for launching a one way missile on an operation over the U. S, , and it vas concluded that there would be little notivation at this time except p088ibly a psychological or retal iatory motive, The ilatch Committee ruled out one way reconnaissance operations on the likel ihood that the results WOUld be of 8tna11 value and the risk o/ compromise would be veru •great, (This possible retal iatory motive by the Soviets could be in response to a U.S. 'iPro ject Aquatone" ight over the USSR which was detected on september 9, 1956, by Soviet planes and mentioned in my memorandum ot' September 19, 1957.) ACTION: The above is submitted J' or information. Since the Air Defense Command is still investigating this report, further information will be reported as a more conclusive evaluation can be made,

r KINO SAUCER SOLVD July 12, 1947, the moot impressive reports ot the go-called flying oaucers or discs Yore thoee from aviator' elain they sav disc-ahaped objecte flying through the air in various formations at high altitudee and at a high rate of speed, The first report was from an aviator who stated that these go—called flying discs had a eomewhat shiny appearance and would fly in formation and change their position from time to time. Most reports stated chat they appeared in the late afternoon or about dusk, Kost all reports were to the effect that these obåects had the appearance of an inverted diec or saucer, and SON of them reported that they apr,eared to be In their The mystery of the flying saucerc or discs may be sol— ved by the use of a little applied science along a few Bimple experiments, mese fly inz discs or saucers can be observed by any motori •.t traveling along the highways when the sun is Durin••, the day— chin in on r..ost any afternoo•,•, or evening. lidht most of these so-called fly in; digcs are reflectionc f r 3m the sun shining upon some bright object in or on the For instance, if you automobile dri vea by Che observer. were driving in a north—westerly direction with the sun Bhin±n ; on the handle of the front or rear door oa the left side of tho car, you may notice a shiny o b lect apoear ia the ventilatioa win;•. of the Window on the drivers left, if it is opened to about a '50 anxio,

They may have varioua forme but very frequently they are of a saucer shape or a fiat shape when they appear to be in the sky, The ventilation wing during day—light io not of cotree a perfect nirror, therefore, it appears to the driver or ob— server that he is actually looking through the Siass into the sky, As he moves along, the bright obJects apoear to be traveling at a high rato of epeed in co;t'parison with the atationary objects on the ground, or the distant horizon, that he sees through the window, or In comparison with the fairtiy silhouetted obJect8 on the landgcape hhich at times are re- fleeted in the window, The flying saucer appears to be traveling in the same general direction as the automobile but sometimes a little to the which r..akeg it appear that it will eventua•.ly cross the drivers path, Thé apparent flight direction of the saucer is due to Che angle of tha ventilation wing glass in its relation to the direction in which the car is travcline;. The naaber and position of Che saucers refleéted in the T. lags depend upon the number and contour of obäoctB reflected there— in by the sun, Bri 0b' ecte on a car aoproaching from the rear nay cast each reflections on your ventilation winz in the daytiae, (2)
