Page 4, letter dated Dec. 2, 1954, to the Chief of the Office of Naval Research, attention of Lt. Cdr. Frank Thomas... 7. Finally, I should like to have a statement of the Navy's conclusions, if available, in regard to the probable motives for the UFO operations. In the Navy's opinion, does the accumulated information on "flying saucers" or what the Air Force now terms UFOB's, constitute grounds for believing there is any attendant danger? 8. According to a source I believe reliable, the Navy is now experimenting in the field of magnetic power, for propulsion of missiles and/or space vehicles. Since the Air Force publicly announced, some time ago, that it had contracted for research into all phases of magnetics, it seems logical to believe the Navy is carrying on similar research. Will the Navy verify this? I should welcome any additional information which you feel is appropriate, in regard to the Navy's position on Unidentified Flying Objects. Very truly yours, /s/ Donald E. Keyhoe Major, U.S. Marine Corps, Ret. NM 91198 Doc. 34745775 Page 37
