Comman<ler 73oy"d aahlsea7 ha this latter classification
constitutes two or three per cent of the total number
o/ sightings, but that they are the most credible
reports received and are difficult to ezplain.
Some
of these sightings are originally reported from the
ground, then are observed by pilots in the air and then
are picked up by radar instruments.
He stated that in
these instances there is no doubt that these individuals
reporting the sightings actually did see something in
the s~y.
However, he explained that these objects could
still be natural phenomena and still could be recorded
on radar if there was some electrical disturbance in the
sky.

by Air Intelligence,and at the present time when credible
reportings of s'l,ghtings are received, the Air Force is attempting
