By letter fran this Headquarters, dated 30 December 1947 \dth subject as above, the Canmanding General, Air liateriel Command is instructed to 11 set up a project whose purpose is to collect, collate, evaluate and distribute to interested government agencies and contractors all information concerning s i ght­ ings and phenanena in the atmosphere which can be construed to be of concern to the national security". 2. The Commanding General, hir Materiel Command feels that the responsibility assigned to him for collecting and developing i nformation and intelligence on the 11 flying dis cs II should be complemented by a ·requirement that all Air Force installa­ tions in the United states and Alaska prov i de a minimum of one each f i ghter or night interceptor type aircraft, with necessary crews, on a continuous alert basis, These aircraft should be equipped with gun camera, and such annament as deemed advi .sable, in order to secure photographs necessary to the obtairment of all possible data on arry reported and sighted unusual phenanena, of the "flying disc" type, i n the atmosphere. 3. It is envi saged that each Ai r For ce installati on maintaining aircraft on an al ert basis for this purpose would i nvestigate all unusual fzy i ng objecte reported fran any source in any area over which it has cognizance. Such a program would obviously require a detailed Standar d Operating Procedure, in the preparation of which Air Materiel COOlllla.nd should cooperate. 4. Your comments and/or concurrence are r~quested. C. P. CABELL Brigadie~ General, U. S.A .F. Chief , Air Int el. Req. Div . D1reotorat e of Int el ligenao . ' ...

SUBJECT : FROM: Director of Intelligence DATE Director of Plans and Operations Major Cook:csk 7223; 3 MAR 1948 COMMENT No. ~2----..,.,~ 1. The proposal of Air !fateriel Command for stationing fighter aircraft at all bases on a continuous alert status is not considered feasible for the followiQ5 reasons: a . The outlay of aircraft and personnel would be too great consistent m.th the results to be obtained. A b. Proper interception is not possible, except by acci dent, without complete . _dar coverage which the Air Force is not capable of providirg. c. It is doubtful if fighter aircraft would be able to follow up reports emanatir:g, for the most part, from civilian sources. 2. It is recommended that Air Materiel Command's responsibility for 11 collectirg" information on unusual phenomena in the at~osphere be confined to the establishment of direct channels for the receipt of such information. J. It is f1.irther recommended that in lieu of the proposal of Air Materiel Command, all other maj or commands be directed to cooperate with Air Materiel Command and t o che.nn 1 information directly to that command .
