c. Have two aircraft do maneuvers at various altitudes and photo­
graph them.
d. Request that the Navy re-do the study using the methods of
density measurement that are prescribed by the astronomers.
Conclusion
6. If it is deemed advisable to release the movies quickly, state that
the Air Force cannot positively identify the objects but they are reasonably
sure that they are balloons or gulls consequently no :further effort is going
to be put into the incident. If tbe Navy and Air Force reports are requested,
state that due to the meager data they used, the reports must be discounted.

t~beginning of their ana~ia...
7. If it is too much of a risk to do this (suggestion in paragraph 6)
immediately go ahead with items a, b, and c of paragraph 5 on a high priority
basis.
Recommendations
8•• It is recommended that the above plan be given to AFOIN-2A2 and let
