UFO Finding: No visits from afar

UFO FINDING: No Visits From Afar

Though the findings by the U of Colordo UFO study have not yet been made
public, the AP yesterday circulated a fragmentary account of the principal
conclusions in the report. It is expected that the report will be made public
at the same time as the evaluation by the National Academy of Sciences
requested by USAF.

After investigating hundreds of UFO incidents, Dr. Condon and his staff found
that a number of episodes previously classed as inexplicable could be accounted
for by natural means or by hoaxes. In some cases, witnesses with seemingly
impeccable credentials were found to be self-contradictory and hence their
accounts were of little value. The document states that no evidence could be
found that UFOs were intelligently guided spacecraft from beyond the earth and
thus a large scale effort to determine the nature of flying saucers would be a
waste of time and money. There was also no evidence found that the government
was withholding information about the objects from the public, except a
reasonable USAF policy of delaying comment until an investigation was
completed.

The Colorado group seems to have made every effort to remain aloof from any
USAF influence. Thus, the cases it investigated were chosen largely from the
recommendations of private groups, particularly NICAP. But as the
investigative phase of the project drew to a close in late 1967, there was a
falling out between Dr. Condon and Donald Keyhoe of NICAP, alledgedly because
of Dr. Condon's lack of sympathy for the view that some UFOs may be visitations
from other worlds.

Other UFO enthusiasts were disenchanted when an internal university memorandum
was presented in a magazine of national circulation as an indication of bias
against proponents of the unidentified objects. The document, written before
the project had begun, discussed whether the university could undertake the
study without incurring ridicule from the academic world while still satisfying
the public that an open-minded study was being made. Two members of the staff
were dismissed, apparently for their role in removing the memorandum from the
project's files. One was a psychologist, Dr. David R. Saunders, who had become
a member of NICAP shortly before joining the Colorado project. This week a
book went on sale written by Dr. Saunders a journalist from Boulder, R. Roger
Harkins, entitled UFOs? Yes! Where the Condon Committee Went Wrong. Saunders &
Harkins argue that the Colorado investigation was a front contrived at the
highest echelons of government to mask the truth, and that "someone on the
project must be acting in a double role," which led to a mutual distrust among
members.

Subject: 1947 CRASHED DISK ROSWELL

SOURCE: NEWS, SAN FRANCISCO, CA
DATE: 8 JULY 1947
PLACE: ROSWELL, NM

BULLETIN:

ROSWELL, N.M., JULY 8 - Possession of a "flying disk" was disclosed today by
the intelligence office of the 509th Bomb Grop of Roswell Army Air Base.

Oficers at the base say the "disk" was flown in a Super-Forttress to "higher
headquarters" undisclosed.

The intelligence office reported that it gained possession of the "disk:
through the co-operation of a Roswell rancher and George Wilson, sheriff at
Roswell.

The disk landed on a ranch near Roswell sometime last week. Not having phone
facilities, the rancher, whose name has not yet been obtained, stored the disk
until such time as he was able to reach the Roswell sheriff's office.

The air base refused to give details of construction of the disk or its
appearance.

SIGHTINGS OF UFOs NEAR PEAK DURING 1966

Maj. Hector Quintanella, director of USAF's Project Blue Book, says a total of
1,060 reports of unidentified flying objects were submitted to USAF during
1966, the second highest year's total since Blue Book began keeping records 20
years ago.

The record high of 1,501 was in 1952; the annual average is 555. Of the 11,107
reports since 1947, 676 remain unidentified, 30 of them from 1966.
