COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS OF PJJUi!..
GENERAL
The Panel Members woro impressed (ac have been others, includ­
ing
___-pe;,:.sonnol) in the lack of sound c!.3.ta in the great m.u.jority
of' case histories; also, in the lack o:f spocdy foJ.low-up due primarily
to the modest sizo and lirnited facilities of tho ATIC section concernad.
Among the case histories of significant sightings discussed in detail
were the following:
Bellefontaine, Ohio (1 August 1952); Tremonton, Utah (2 July 1952) ;.
Great Falls, Montana (15 Aug~st 1950); Yaak, Montana (l September
1952}; Washington, D. C. area (19 July 1952); and Haneda A.F.B.*
Japan (5 August 1952), Port Huron, Michigan (29 July 1952); and
Presque Isle, Maine (10 October 1952).
After review and discussion of these cases (and about l
others,
in less detail), the Panel concluded that reasonable

might be explained in a similar manner". The Panel pointed out that

because of the brevity of some sightings (e.g. 2-3 seconds) and the
iria.bility of the witnesses to express themselves clearly (semantics)
that conclusive explanations could·not be

reported. Furthermore, it was considered that, normally, it would

unless such action would benefit a training and educational program.
