The Air Materiel Command is currently engaged in an intelligence investigation of all reported unidentified aerial phenomena. 2. To date, no concrete identity of any of the reported objects has been received. Similarly, the origin of the so-called "flying discs" remains obscure. The possibility exists that some of the sighted objects are of domestic origin, i.e., unrecognized configurations of some of our latest aeronautical attainments, or that they are objects not readily recognized by the public - test vehicles in various stages of development, etc. 3. It is requested that your Agency submit to the Directorate of Intelligence any available evidence that may come to your attention which might serve to indicate that these objects have a domestic origin.
