Incidents* dated 10 December 1948, if practicable.
FACTS AND DISCUSSION
2. In accordance with a request from Gol. We A. Adams, AFOIN-2B,
to declassify Study 100-203-79 if practicable, the following information
is submitted. A search through D/I files was made, but no such study was
found. However, a draft study bearing the same title and date, plus the
designation "D/I-ONI Study No. 203" was located. This study is classified
Top Secret and is presumed to be the study in question.
3. Two copies of the latter study were distributed to ONI.
4. Subject matter will not be submitted for inclusion in the Daily
Staff Digest.

5. It is not considered advisable to declassify Study No. 203
inasmuch as it contains much speculation on the possible origin of
unidentified flying objects, information on Soviet AOB and atomic energy
installations, and some information on U.S. Research and Development
activity. In addition, the study contains a treatise on possible Soviet
intentions in utilizing controlledeaerial missiles over the U.S.
