220708 05:33:51 – 05:38:43 Major General John A Samford's
Statement on Flying Saucers 31Jul52 Sd.
MS, doughnut shaped piece of cloth suspended by a wire. CU, Gen Samford,
USAF Intelligence Chief, discusses the "flying saucer" because he
says it is an obligation of the Air Force to investigate anything in the air
that might prove a threat to the nation. His findings are that the bulk of the 12,000 reports received are hoaxes. He credits others as being the result
of aircraft or meteorological and astronomical phenomena. He reveals that there is a certain percentage
of credible observations but there is not pattern or measurement for analysis. His conclusions are that they represent no threat to us. He adds that flying saucers are not the result of a secret development
by any US agency. A civilian
seated at the desk is addressed by off-screen interrogator as Maj Kehoe (?)
and queried on the origin of his book, "Flying Saucers Are Real". Kehoe states his belief that "flying
saucers are of inter-planetary origin and cites a report of pilots who encountered
the objects.

Television Interniew: Introduced
by Frank Knight; William Bradford Huie, Editor of American Mercury and Henry
Hazlitt, Newsweek Contributing Editor talk to Willy Ley, scientist and author
of 'Rockets, Missiles and Space Travel' about Flying Saucers. Ley details vars explanations he considers
obsolete inc. secret army experiments and secret experiments of Russians. Talks about spacecraft of interplanetary origin - 'I am not principally
opposed to an Alien spaceship landing tomorrow and teaching us something [but]
I don't think they have visited us yet'; 'flying saucers' not a new phenomenon;
often lost USN observation balloons.
10:14:38 Asked what percentage of sightings are
hoaxes; 'Right now, if you report seeing a flying saucer you open yourself
up to ridicule...'; public should contact military not press.
10:15:48 Space travel problems 'solved' except
for financial implication. Asked if he expects to see space travel in lifetime;
'Yes, I hope so. As a matter of fact I am practically certain; urgency of
advancing space travel developments for military defence purposes.

Interview with USAF officers Lt Col Lawrence J Tacker & Major Hector
Quintanella Jr. re Project Blue Book - objectives 'to try to determine if
the UFO phenomenon presents a threat to the security of the United States...to
see if the UFO phenomenon exhibits any technological advances which could
be channeled into USAF research & development'. Mentions unsolved cases at Wright-Patterson AFB. Deny USAF hiding information from American
public 'nothing in the records to indicate we have been visited by any advance
civilisations'. Most UFO sightings
from 'patriotic citizens who have been mystified by what they have seen'. Suggest astronomers best placed to interpret what they see. 'Other countries place the burden of truth on the observer and not
on the Air Force'.
