[BLANK] radar-visual unidentified-object report — June 20, 1958

It appears to be a cover page or document header for a classified report from Project Blue Book, a United States Air Force program that investigated reports of unidentified flying objects. Secretary: I have read with considerable interest the book, "The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects," by Edward J. In order to be brought up to date with respect to the information developed since Ruppelt left the project, I should appreciate having the answer to several questions. His book was reviewed and passed on by Hq USAF from a security viewpoint only. Examples: Some time ago Navy rushed to ATIC approximately 3000 ft of radar film of UFO observed via radar. Also, a B-36 radar operator with 11 yrs experience photographed exceptionally large UFO's showing on his screen while flying over the South Atlantic. For example, the world-wide "Moonwatch" facilities are often called upon for data to assist in identifying reported unidentified aerial objects. Until recently very few foreign UFOs reported. Definitely established increase is proportionate to number of Flying Saucer and UFO books distributed overseas. (15) Only a very small percentage of UFO reports officially issued by foreign governments or our allies. Distrust in private organizations and authors, as giving undue injustice to the continuance of "flying saucers" and stimulating unfavorable public hysteria.
