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.

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:

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

over the U.S. It is unl that a S'oviet aircraft could conduct
o mission at this speed and altitude and return to Soviet territory.
me Soviets are given credit $ or the capability OJ' a 'Submarine
•launched cruise-type missile ot' 1 OID supersonic performance" and o
range of about 500 nautical miles; however, there is no evidence
ot existence o/ such a missile by the Soviets.
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,

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

upon• the angle at the obåect ia reflected in the nn—

varioua forme but very frequently they are of a saucer shape
or a fiat shape when they appear to be in the sky,

server that he is actually looking through the Siass into the

The flying saucer appears to be traveling in the same

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;.

Cffåce of S*cial Investigations, RosNell, New %exlco, advise
the resident au-ent at Roswell he bbd *'ust left a conference With Dr. LINCOI.&'
)logist, who has written a letter sumærizins the search for the
'Croidentifie: ..erial Pher.•æeraa"
RYAN advised that Dr. LA FAZ cane to Roswell after one of these obåects YEd
been observed b' several persons in the Roswell area the night cf Jar.uary 30, 1949
at approxiæte.ly 6:00 P,
Cne of these persons who witnessed the ob#ct was an

Air r orce 2ase at Roswell, New Nex.ico,
informed that all of his agents Fed been searc.hir.; the area arau.rÅ Roswell,
Artesia, Tatua, and Kenna, Yew I.'ex-ico; kaherst, ar.d Lamesa, Texas,
where the pher.ccena had recently been These searches all met with
negative results.
Dr. LA PAZ advanced the theory to that the ob#cts were controlled missiles
around the earth at an altitude of appra;drately 25
raile3 and at a
speed of approxiætely 15 Tdles per secor.d. lhe raissile was probably controlled
by acents stationed at var'-ous ir.tervals who are able to brinz the N.I;siIe dom
cver a decicr.a ted area and it,
Y.e stated that Di', LA PAZ that he
believed the Russians or sone other country was pra cticlng 'd th these weapons
wrach carried no war head ard Yere being e)Q10dd at en altitude of approd-ZB tely
IO les, After the practice period IA PAZ assumed the weapons would be loaded
with an atomic war head,
PAZ told R'å'A that two mal w.ho:a he interviewed at Kenna, New lexico,
• ho
I-gd observed pheno:nera which appeared to have dissemån3ted near Tatum.
