All available data were included in this study which was prepared by
a panel of scientists both in and out of the Air Force. On the basis of this
study it is believed that all the unidentified aerial objects could have been

towards the vanishing point.
Therefore, on the b_asis of this evaluation of the information, it is

that there has been a complete lack of any valid evidence of physical 'matter
